The Yankees found themselves in an odd situation on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. They beat the Cleveland Guardians in convincing fashion by a score of 5-1 in a decisive Game 5 to officially decide the ALDS. That’s a cause worth celebrating, but ace Gerrit Cole didn’t look into it. Beating the Guardians and advancing … Continued
We argued earlier this week that Jacob deGrom shouldn’t be at the top of the Mets’ free agency priority list. There’s no denying how great deGrom has been for the Mets, but there is a significant case against signing a 35-year old pitcher to a $40 million-plus deal on an annual average. That’s what he’ll … Continued
They have been yearning for this day since Brian Cashman decided to relitigate the 2017 ALCS in the spring. And it has arrived. Round 4 with the Astros in October, albeit the first one since Houston’s vast cheating apparatus was exposed. The Yankees feel a championship was stolen from them five years ago. Perhaps it … Continued
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Giancarlo Stanton? Well, it’s pretty obvious at this point — just about everyone on the planet associates the Yankees‘ designated hitter with home runs. After all, his power is the main reason why New York acquired him in the first place prior to the … Continued
Yankees–Astros has become more of a rivalry than anyone could have expected. A cheating scandal and two strong ALCS series later, the two can arguably be placed up there with Ali-Frazier. Celtics-Lakers. In a shocking twist, the rivalry between the Yankees and Astros has been more interesting as of late than the lauded Yankees-Red Sox … Continued
The matchup the Yankees have waited all year for has come to fruition. The Bronx Bombers will get another crack at the Astros with the pennant at stake. Home runs from Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo and a brilliant outing on short rest by Nestor Cortes powered the Yankees to a 5-1 win … Continued
The NFL apparently had a hootenanny of a fall meeting on Tuesday in Manhattan. Rams owner Stan Kroenke ís going to eat the remaining $571 million of the league’s settlement with St. Louis after his team bolted to Los Angeles. Colts owner Jim Irsay thinks there is “merit” to forcing Daniel Snyder to sell the … Continued
It’s New York Knicks Opening Night and to kick off the 2022-23 season, the Knicks head south to face Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. It’s a challenging first matchup for New York, who’d love to leave without a case of the Beale Street Blues. The Knicks have a newer look this year, way more … Continued

What in the world is going on in the NFL? Some thoughts on ESPN’s latest power rankings, which have the Giants and Jets in the top 10.
The Giants have surprised just about everyone around the NFL with their 5-1 record to start the regular season. It’s not just that they’ve been winning, either — it’s that they’ve also been making unexpected comebacks to finish games with victories. After winning five of six games, how hard is it to stay focused on … Continued
The ALDS schedule between the Yankees and Guardians has been nothing short of a nightmare for MLB. Thanks to good ol’ Mother Nature, it got worse on Monday night for the Guardians, who had to spend an unexpected extra night in New York.

The Giants are 5-1. The Jets are 4-2. Madness! But don’t look for their owners to spike the football. Mum was the word about the unexpected local success Tuesday at the NFL’s fall meeting in Manhattan. John Mara on his team’s hot start during a 20-second fly-by at the owners’ meetings in NYC: “So far, … Continued
While the end of their 2022 season was disappointing and a huge letdown, the Mets have come a long way in just two years as an organization. They went from a 77-85 club in 2021 to a 101-61 team under the tutelage of manager Buck Showalter. New York has a crucial winter ahead, and the … Continued
Mike Francesa has no problem saying it. “It’s the best show ever,” the WFAN legend said Tuesday on his BetRivers podcast while reflecting on his “Mike and the Mad Dog” partnership with Christopher Russo. “It is. I have no problem saying that, because it’s just a fact. No one has come close to what we … Continued
Last season was a weird one for the Nets, and it only got weirder over the summer. Ben Simmons still hadn’t suited up for Brooklyn in a real game, Kevin Durant requested a trade, and while Kyrie Irving opted in for the 2022-23 season, his name was churning through the trade rumor mill. But here … Continued
Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore doesn’t seem too thrilled with his role despite the team’s current win streak.
The Giants are currently in a position not many expected after six weeks of football. Head coach Brian Daboll’s squad is 5-1 ahead of a Week 7 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The November 1st trade deadline is also on the horizon, and it seems like wide receiver Kadarius Toney could be available. Toney, a … Continued
Mike Keenan is back on the ice. The nomadic former Rangers coach — he won the Stanley Cup with the Blueshirts in 1994, his only season with the team — has landed another job. He was recently named the coach of the Italian national team. Italy will automatically qualify for the 2026 Olympics as the … Continued
The Yankees’ season is now in Nestor Cortes’ hands. The All-Star southpaw will start Game 5 of the ALDS against the Guardians on Tuesday (4:07 p.m., TBS). Cortes is able to get the nod after Monday’s rainout. He will get the start on three days rest. More from ESNY: • This tweet shows how resilient … Continued
The forecast said it was going to rain on Monday night in the Bronx. And it did. Who would have thought it? Not MLB, apparently. The Guardians and Yankees (and fans) schlepped out to Yankee Stadium for Game 5 of the ALDS, stood around, got wet … and then the game was finally postponed. So … Continued
The 2022 NFL regular season is now entering Week 7. It’s been long enough for us to get a sense of which teams might be for real and which ones may not be. It’s looking like the Giants and Jets could be a part of that first group, but it hasn’t been an easy road … Continued
In many ways, the 2022 season was a banner year for the Mets and team owner Steve Cohen. After all, the club’s 101 wins were its second-most ever and most since 1986. But still, the ultimate goal wasn’t achieved, which was a World Series title. Like every other 100-win team in the National League, New … Continued
In case you missed it, the Jets dismantled the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 6. New York’s defense played tremendous in the win, regardless of what some critics say. How would you commemorate such a big victory? For rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner, it was taking one of Green Bay’s Cheesehead hats home … Continued
If you’re a fan of the New York Jets, chances are you’re flying high right now as Gang Green makes their way back from another road victory in Week 6. This one was big, too — they dominated Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in a 27-10 victory. Running back Breece Hall enjoyed his … Continued
Brett Gardner’s presence — or lack thereof — has hovered over the Yankees all season long. So why wouldn’t the issue be raised again with the Bombers facing elimination? Manager Aaron Boone was candid when asked about the veteran outfielder — who did not play in 2022 but has not yet retired — before Sunday’s … Continued
The Mets can only wallow in their misery for so long. Yes, they are just a week removed from their sudden postseason exit. But now they must shift their focus to 2023. That starts with their own free agents, a group that includes two superstars and several critical role players. Before owner Steve Cohen and … Continued
If there’s one thing we can say about SNY broadcaster Keith Hernandez, it’s that the former Mets first baseman loves watching good baseball. It’s one of the reasons why he enjoyed watching manager Buck Showalter’s team rack up 101 regular-season wins in 2022. But once the Mets were bounced from the Wild Card Round by … Continued
The Yankees needed Gerrit Cole in ace form and got their $324 million worth. New York shook off Cleveland’s Game 3 demons and were in full control of the Guardians from the start. Cole led the way with seven innings and allowed just two runs while striking out eight. Clay Holmes worked a flawless eighth … Continued
The Jets took their 3-2 record, two-game winning streak, and 2-0 record on the road to Green Bay to play the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. They once again answered the bell away from MetLife Stadium with a victory. Unlike their first two wins on the road in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, Gang Green did … Continued
Brian Daboll and the Giants have improved to 5-1 with a 24-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Just moments after the Jets took a 10-3 lead thanks to a nifty play from Braxton Berrios and the New York offense, the special teams unit added another. Once the defense stopped Aaron Rodgers and the Packers again, they went one better than simply getting the ball back for the offense to go to work. … Continued
After one half of football that didn’t include a bunch of offense, the Jets came out guns blazing in the second half against the Green Bay Packers. Their secret weapon? That’d be a well-designed play that led to wide receiver Braxton Berrios finding the end zone on a 20-yard run. Here’s what it looked like, … Continued
It’s important to preface this piece with the following: Brian Cashman is all but certainly coming back to the New York Yankees in 2023. What far too few have the cojones to say is the obvious opposite: Brian Cashman’s time with the New York Yankees needs to end regardless of result. The Cleveland Guardians could … Continued
Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams expects to return for a crucial game against the strong Ravens rushing attack.

In typical playoff fashion, the Yankees snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The Cleveland Guardians’ ninth-inning rally led to them winning Game 3 of the ALDS 6-5. In a heartbeat, the Yankees lost control of the series and now need Gerrit Cole to be lights-out near-perfect in Game 4. Home runs by Aaron Judge, … Continued
With Francisco Lindor and the Mets’ season over, Cleveland’s Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez are two wins away from the ALCS.
For Luis Severino, ALDS Game 3 is more than just another important game for him and his Yankees. Of course, the 28-year-old righty will never admit that. To Severino, it just means he has to beat the Cleveland Guardians on the road. New York couldn’t string hits together in Game 2, so it’s on Severino … Continued
Veteran Giants linebacker Jaylon Smith could assume an expanded role in Week 6 and beyond.
The Giants defense must show up and show out against quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Ravens this Sunday.
Quarterback Zach Wilson and the Jets will be looking for their third straight win when they face the Packers on the road Sunday.
A day off and a rainout later, the Yankees–Guardians ALDS series is tied. Cleveland took advantage of bloop hits and untimely errors to take a 4-2 lead in the 10th inning and never looked back. The Yankees, meanwhile, wasted a first-inning home run from Giancarlo Stanton. It was not the effort expected of the Yankees, … Continued
Bob Costas, at 70 years old, has kind of lost his spark calling baseball games. You could tell during Friday’s afternoon broadcast of the Yankees and Guardians in Game 2 of the ALDS. Costas and former Mets pitcher Ron Darling are in the booth for TBS and in the sixth inning, the veteran broadcaster made … Continued
