And Judge said all the things you would expect him to say about his future in pinstripes following Sunday’s loss in the Bronx. “I haven’t even thought about the … Continued

The Yankees of Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman have demonstrated what they are capable of. Specifically ninety-something regular season wins, then a deflating October that frequently ends with an ass-kicking from the Astros and never concludes with a parade. They might be able to live with that most places. Even we managed to deal with … Continued
The Yankees put in their best effort of the ALCS, and that still wasn’t enough to beat the rival Astros. Houston came from behind twice to win Game 4 6-5 and complete the sweep, overcoming a 3-0 deficit early in the game.

Give the Jets credit. They have found a way to win games while still giving their fans something to complain and/or fret about. The streak is at four games now after Sunday’s 16-9 triumph over the Russell Wilson-less Broncos in Denver. Cornerback Sauce Gardner had a big day as part of a strong defensive effort. … Continued
You cannot blame the Yankees for trying to think positively. But this is a bit much. Aaron Boone said that Chad Bohling, the #Yankees’ mental skills coach, was sending around highlight videos of the 2004 Red Sox this morning.

The Yankees had Gerrit Cole on the mound, a rowdy Bronx crowd, and a great chance to get a game back in the ALCS. Once again, playoff futility struck New York and another lifeless performance commenced. Cole allowed five runs in five innings and the fans booed the team off the field by the sixth. … Continued

It’s not even November and the Shohei Ohtani trade rumors are in full force across baseball. The two-way star is fresh off yet another MVP-caliber season (although Aaron Judge should win the award) that broke plenty of records.

The Broncos? A disaster. The Jets? One of the hottest teams in football. What a world.

Mets closer Edwin Diaz has set himself up for a huge payday this winter. It sounds like he’s looking to set a new standard for relievers, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. This shouldn’t be shocking news. Not too long ago, we said Diaz had a chance to break a couple of … Continued
In case it wasn’t obvious, the Yankees have had a Clarke Schmidt problem this postseason. In fairness, he hasn’t really been set up for success. He blew the save in Game 3 of the ALDS. In the Yankees 4-2 loss in Game 1 of the ALCS on Wednesday, he was asked to protect a 1-1 … Continued
So far during their ALCS rematch, the Yankees have gone 0-for-Houston. They’re headed back to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 on Saturday down 2-0 to the Astros.

Don’t expect Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney to return against the Jaguars this Sunday.
The Yankees put up a better effort in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Astros, but fell short again in a tough 3-2 loss. Luis Severino’s sole mistake, a three-run home run to Alex Bregman, was more than enough for Houston. They now head to the Bronx with a strong two-game advantage. The Yankees … Continued

Yoenis Cespedes will always have an odd legacy within Mets history. The four-year deal he signed following the 2016 season was a complete disaster.
