Mike Francesa calls it like he sees it. The WFAN legend has blasted former president Donald Trump several times since he left office. But Francesa still believes Trump’s indictment by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg is a bridge too far. “How ridiculous is this Trump fiasco?” Francesa tweeted. “New York should be embarrassed. What a … Continued
Aaron Rodgers will need a good offensive line in front of him. And ESPN analyst Todd McShay believes that will be the Jets’ focus in the 2023 NFL draft. McShay has the Jets grabbing a pair of linemen with their first two picks. He has Ohio State tackle Paris Johnson going to the Jets with … Continued
If the start of 2023 is any indication, Yankees home games should be exciting this year. Winning four of five in the Bronx to begin the regular season will do that. But there’s another attraction for fans descending upon Yankee Stadium this year: The 99 Burger. Aaron Judge has gained a bunch of things since … Continued
The Giants are happy with their Daniel Jones decision. But at least one opponent is having a hard time wrapping their head around it. General manager Joe Schoen caught some flak for the quarterback’s four-year deal as part of a free agency survey conducted by The Athletic. “They would have been better off doing a … Continued
Many believe the Giants will select a wide receiver with their first pick in the 2023 NFL draft. But ESPN analyst Todd McShay believes they can wait to get quarterback Daniel Jones another weapon. McShay instead has general manager Joe Schoen addressing another pressing need with the No. 25 pick. He has Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel … Continued
The place is called American Family Field, man. Show some damn respect. The Mets got smashed on Monday. Carlos Corrasco got shelled, the bats were silent, a 10-0 loss to the Brewers, et cetera. But presumably not as smashed as the Milwaukee fan who decided to urinate all over the stadium concourse to celebrate a … Continued
The Yankees opened up their 2023 season at home by taking two of three games from the San Francisco Giants. There were a lot of good things to take away from that performance as they prepared to host the Phillies in the Bronx. However, outfielder Aaron Hicks was left feeling confused and a little frustrated … Continued
As the Mets left Miami, there was plenty to feel good about. They just took three of four from the Marlins and did it in a convincing manner. The rotation, bullpen, and defense were crisp, and the offense threw in some timely hitting. New York’s final road trip before their home opener began Monday afternoon … Continued
How should Giants general manager Joe Schoen use his 10 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft later this month?
How should Jets general manager Joe Douglas attack the 2023 NFL Draft later this month?

Who says MLB’s new pace of play rules doesn’t leave any time for the Best Booth in Baseball to have fun between pitches? During the Mets’ series finale win on Sunday in Miami, SNY play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen shared a little-known fact about himself. He played football as a kid, and the only position he … Continued
Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen and the New York Football Giants are right in the middle of a crucial offseason for the current regime. When it comes to retaining internal talent, that discussion mostly stopped once the Daniel Jones/Saquon Barkley situation was settled. But there’s another dude who should be getting a big payday in the … Continued
We missed this last week, but are able to get to it with UConn in Monday’s national title game against San Diego State. There’s been no love lost between Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma over the years Would Coach Calhoun pose with Geno for a photo at the Final Four?? Ummm….#UConn pic.twitter.com/73EJD1O6iw — Maggie Gray … Continued
The Yankees had a much-anticipated Opening Weekend series against the Giants and took two of three games. Even for an early season series, we got a very good idea of just who these teams are. The Yankees are ready to run it back and looked sharp despite some key injuries. The Giants, while talented, need … Continued
It has been nearly three weeks since Aaron Rodgers informed the world of his intention to play for the Jets. And yet, he remains a member of the Packers’ roster. The latest on the waiting game is that we will likely remain waiting for some time. From Peter King’s Monday column for NBC Sports: I … Continued
We’re nearly three weeks away from the 2023 NFL Draft taking place, and the Jets still don’t have a starting quarterback. Well, they do but they don’t. While the stalemate between New York and the Green Bay Packers over compensation for Aaron Rodgers has made progress, no agreement has been reached yet. So, just as … Continued
We’re only four games into the 2023 MLB regular season. Is it too early to share updated NL East standings? Never, especially when the Mets are in first place, folks: Good morning! A strong opening weekend for the Mets. 😁 pic.twitter.com/u1gcjGXTuM — SNY Mets (@SNY_Mets) April 3, 2023 The Phillies being in last place is … Continued
The first Mets-Marlins series of the 2023 season is officially in the books. After winning 13 of 19 head-to-head matchups last year, New York is off to yet another dominant start by taking three of four in Miami. Outside of the bats going silent in a 2-1 loss on Friday, manager Buck Showalter’s club was … Continued
The Mets’ starting rotation put together a strong opening series in Miami after the news of Justin Verlander’s injury.
The Yankees started their 2023 season on a high note by taking two of three from the visiting Giants, who must have wished Aaron Judge was in their lineup after courting him in the offseason. The Yankee captain slugged two home runs in the series and hit .462, and Giancarlo Stanton added two home runs … Continued
The Yankees are officially one series into the 2023 regular season. You could say things are going pretty well right now. Homers are flying out of the yard from their big boppers, and they’re heading into a matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies with a 2-1 record. Outfielder Aaron Hicks is already frustrated with his playing … Continued
The season-opening series at home went pretty well for the Yankees. Aaron Judge is back to slugging dingers at a frequent pace. Giancarlo Stanton also hit one that probably hasn’t landed yet. And last, but most certainly not least, they took two of three against the San Francisco Giants. Before hitting the road to face … Continued
The Mets are heading to Wisconsin without Justin Verlander on the active roster, but another rotation injury notwithstanding, things went great in Miami. New York’s season-opening series resulted in winning three of a possible four games. Manager Buck Showalter watched solid starting pitching get followed up by a consistently effective bullpen. There was also some … Continued
Odell Beckham Jr.’s price has reportedly gone down. But not by much. From ESPN: Beckham is thought to be seeking a one-year deal for $15 million, which is pricey for a 30-year-old receiver coming off his second ACL surgery. A deal in the $10 million to $12 million range seems more likely, with a chance … Continued
The Mets’ season-opening series finale against the Miami Marlins on Sunday has a little extra significance. New York is trying to take three of four from the Fish, but it’s also the MLB debut of Kodai Senga. His first inning of work was a shaky one. It included 36 pitches and Starling Marte making a … Continued
Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton got his second home run of the season with a tape measure shot to center field. Facing Giants righty Ross Stripling, Stanton’s home run cleared the batter’s eye. Statcast measured it 485 feet and 117.8 mph off the bat. The blast scored Anthony Rizzo and gave New York a 3-0 lead. … Continued
There is no more room at the FOX inn for Frank Thomas after Derek Jeter’s arrival. From The Post: With Derek Jeter in on Fox Sports’ biggest baseball pregame shows, Frank Thomas is officially out, The Post has learned. Thomas had been with Fox Sports for nearly a decade. He had been a part of … Continued
MLB’s regular season is a 162-game marathon that takes six months to complete. Sometimes, a divisional race is over well before the dog days of summer hit. Other times, every single game on the schedule is needed to determine a winner. If we had to guess, the National League East race will probably drag into … Continued
This is just getting mean now, folks. The Syracuse Mets entered the top of the ninth inning with a commanding lead thanks to some early-game fireworks. That wasn’t enough, though, because Francisco Alvarez and Mark Vientos provided a couple more with back-to-back home runs: Francisco Álvarez and Mark Vientos just hit home runs on back-to-back … Continued
If we’re being honest, Mets prospect Brett Baty had the best spring training out of any primary third baseman in Port St. Lucie. That’s a big reason why a good chunk of the fan base was annoyed by him getting optioned to Triple-A to start 2023. Considering the situation, it wasn’t overly surprising. The reasoning … Continued
Bryan Reynolds is not trying to build a wall between him and the Yankees after all. From MLB.com: The Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds were near an agreement on what would be a franchise-record eight-year, $106 million contract extension (seven years, $100 million beginning in 2024), but a late request from Reynolds’s agents for an … Continued
Giancarlo Stanton extended the Yankees’ lead over the Giants on Saturday when his bullet over the right field wall made the score 2-0. Stan' you dig it? pic.twitter.com/mFWx71xM1n — New York Yankees (@Yankees) April 1, 2023 Statcast measured the home run’s exit velocity at 112.3 mph.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe got his first career hit against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday.

The second game of the Mets’ season involved a few things. New York and Miami combined for just three runs, with the Amazins getting defeated 2-1. There was plenty of solid pitching and defense to go around, though, including one particular play from second baseman Jeff McNeil. David Peterson was trying to work through a … Continued
Professional wrestling-related gag calls were a time-honored tradition during Mike Francesa’s solo years on WFAN. I still remember almost careening off the road in laughter when he was asked for his take on the Ultimate Warrior’s legacy.

Baseball is officially back, which means the Mets’ Opening Day dominance continued this week. Even though the first day of the regular season brought unfortunate Justin Verlander injury news, there’s a lot to be excited about in Queens this year. Some people are so excited that they just can’t hold it in. It’s awesome when … Continued
It feels like yesterday, but this fall will be the 20th anniversary of the 2003 American League Championship Series. Which, in our somewhat-biased opinion, is the greatest postseason series that has ever been played. Nothing will ever top what the Yankees and Red Sox packed into that seven-game war — not even 2004. Now, you … Continued
The Knicks are facing an uphill battle the rest of the season and into the playoffs. Oddly enough, Julius Randle spraining his ankle and being out for the season (and maybe the first round of the playoffs) is only half of it. The Knicks are currently the No. 5 seed in the East and lead … Continued
Plenty of time has passed since Jacob deGrom officially decided his Mets tenure was complete. New York also did plenty to move on from the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner. But because of his (now) past connection to Queens, it’ll be impossible to just completely ignore what he does with the Texas Rangers. At … Continued
For the most part, the vibes were immaculate during yet another Mets Opening Day victory. Despite facing the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner in Sandy Alcantara, New York found a way to make him work and pile up enough runs to win. Alcantara faced Jeff McNeil with runners on the corners in the sixth … Continued
Go team! https://twitter.com/RepSantosNY03/status/1641550272085348354 “As a good old Mets fan, I know you guys aren’t going to be playing until April 6 back home,” disgraced serial liar and New York Rep. George Santos says in the video. “But here’s a good old fashioned ‘Lets go Mets.’” Uh, OK. Makes sense, we suppose, given Santos “represents” New … Continued
Remember when we said the Mets would need every bit of the perceived pitching depth they built up over the winter? That was (unfortunately) proven yet again on Thursday. Instead of preparing for his team debut, Justin Verlander is now on the injured list. It seems minor and precautionary, which provides some silver lining. However, … Continued
Let’s talk about retired uniform numbers. It’s a pretty significant honor for any professional athlete regardless of sport. One’s legacy is such that their number shall be taken out of circulation and never to be worn again. Be it great individual performance or several championships, or both, a select few earn this slice of immortality. … Continued
