Earlier this month, Spencer Strider called the Mets “lucky” after they tagged him for four runs on six hits, sending him packing after just 2 2/3 innings. Well of course, with the Mets headed to Atlanta this week and Strider on the mound in the series opener, the talk of the town was the Mets … Continued
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso appears to hand manager Buck Showalter some lottery tickets during Sunday’s game.
Kevin Durant wants out with the Nets by any means necessary. From longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein: During summer league in Las Vegas, one of the most well-connected team executives I speak to regularly insisted to me that, based on what he was hearing, Kevin Durant was more apt to retire than play again for … Continued

Kenny Golladay’s goal line drop in Foxborough was not just a bad moment for a bad signing. It was a reminder of how doomed Daniel Jones’ tenure as the Giants’ quarterback likely is. We may not know exactly who Jones is yet. But this much seems clear: He’s not a miracle worker. Even if he … Continued
Derek Jeter’s in-studio “KayRod” appearance with Michael Kay and Alex Rodriguez had its awkward moments. And there was certainly tension in the air. But – if you take them at their word – the two Yankees greats have reached détente. “You move on. You learn. Things happen in life,” Jeter said during the ESPN2 alternative … Continued
Somebody needs to remind the Yankees the season hasn’t ended yet. They have yet to win a series all month. And they just handed the rival Red Sox their first series win of the season against an AL East team. The alleged Bronx Bombers are 3-9 in August and just can’t seem to get what … Continued
It’s been the summer of wild Jonathan Papelbon quotes for some reason. The former Red Sox closer has been doing his best Skip Bayless impression. Maybe he wants to co-host Craig Carton’s FS1 show. Papelbon trashed Bryce Harper and the Phillies, he waxed poetic about having Yankees fans throw batteries at him and now he’s … Continued

Zach Wilson dodged a major bullet and is only expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
How did the Jets’ starters fare in the team’s preseason opener vs. Philly?
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has exited Friday night’s preseason game with an apparent injury.
The slumping New York Yankees will have to break out of their funk without Giancarlo Stanton. Manager Aaron Boone told media the former MVP still doesn’t have a return date. However, he has resumed some baseball activities. Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) has a “full baseball day” of activities planned at Yankee Stadium, Aaron Boone said. He … Continued
Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard spoke to the media upon his return to Citi Field Friday night.
A video snippet of an interview between Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz and a local TV sports anchor went viral in the last day. The reason: 7News DC’s Scott Abraham made Wentz put his hard hat on during their one-on-one sitdown. Abraham pressed Wentz about the “narrative” he has been inaccurate and “consistently inconsistent” during training … Continued
Joe Benigno predicts the Jets' first 5 games. Ladies and gentlemen, he's back 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WhPRSn3M4W — WFAN Sports Radio (@WFAN660) August 11, 2022 MUST. FREAKIN’. WIN. I will be honest: I was skeptical about Joe Benigno’s WFAN return. Still am. Not because of Benigno. The guy is a legend. But because it just felt like … Continued
Details remain scarce about Craig Carton’s new FS1 show. We know it is expected to be a morning show that launches in the fall. Carton’s WFAN colleagues, Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti, have made it clear the venture has their blessing. Fox tried (and failed) to hire ex-Jets lineman Damien Woody away from ESPN to … Continued
ESPN’s “The Captain” wrapped its deep dive on legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter on Thursday, putting a cap on the storied career of a storied man. The series didn’t unveil much we didn’t already know. Jeter has a winning attitude. He expects those around him to have the same high standards he sets for himself. … Continued
So FOX had a big idea for Thursday night’s “Field of Dreams” broadcast between the Cubs and Reds: A hologram of the late Harry Caray singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch. And then, inexplicably, they followed through on it. An all-time “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” only possible through … Continued
It was a start. And that’s about it. There is only so much to take away from the Giants’ 23-21 win over the Patriots in Thursday’s preseason opener — a thriller as preseason openers go. But they did look competent. Which is an accomplishment for head coach Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen given how incompetent … Continued
The Giants have completed their first preseason game of the 2022 season. Which players’ stocks are rising? Which are falling?
Isiah Kiner-Falefa is the Yankees‘ biggest liability and it’s not even close. He was the biggest liability even when Joey Gallo was on the roster. Again, it wasn’t even close there between the former Texas Rangers. Kiner-Falefa is a net-negative in every single phase of the game. He’s a below-average hitter despite his ability to … Continued
What to watch for during the Jets’ preseason opener vs. the Eagles.
Ever since the summer began, the NL East was viewed by most as a two-team race. The reigning world champion Braves got off to a slow start. But the return of all-star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was what the team needed to get hot. With a 14-game winning streak in early June, the Braves were … Continued
The bar was on the ground for the Giants’ offense for myriad reasons. And they did manage to hop over it. Quarterback Daniel Jones and the starters worked two drives in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Patriots in Foxborough. And lo and behold, it wasn’t a complete disaster*. Which is an accomplishment given how poorly … Continued
The NBA will retire Bill Russell’s No. 6 jersey across the league in a move that doesn’t come as a huge surprise. The league office announced this via press release: “Bill Russell’s unparalleled success on the court and pioneering civil rights activism deserve to be honored in a unique and historic way,” said NBA Commissioner … Continued

A brief disclaimer before we dig into the latest nugget of Kyrie Irving–Nets intrigue: It comes from longtime NBA reporter Ric Bucher, who has had a rough week. Bucher reported on Colin Cowherd’s show that Ben Simmons had left the Nets group text chat after his teammates pressed him to play Game 4 of the … Continued
The Jets have signed veteran offensive tackle Duane Brown as expected, according to ESPN. They were kicking the tires on the five-time Pro Bowler before Mekhi Becton fractured his kneecap, so it makes sense to follow through now that Becton is likely done for the season. Some thoughts … Further details are needed on the … Continued
Keith Hernandez is catching a lot of heat from Phillies fans. He’s even catching strays from the Phillies’ radio booth on NBC Sports Philadelphia. So much so the Mets legend is texting the Philly guys about it. According to @JohnKruk, Keith Hernandez texted @TMacPhils about what the Phillies broadcasters have been saying about him on … Continued
Joey Gallo had his True Dodger Moment on Wednesday night, blasting a pinch-hit, three-run home run in an 8-5 win over the Twins. And he is off to a decent start in Los Angeles on the whole. Gallo is batting a robust .267 (4-for-15) in blue with a double and two runs. A whole month … Continued
There was a great deal of hand-wringing during the 2021 season about the Yankees’ radio and television broadcast crews refraining from making road trips. And rightfully so. The pandemic had moved to a manageable place by the spring, so it was no longer a safety issue. It was a cheapness issue. Audacy and YES Network … Continued
Eli Manning has purchased a minority stake in NY/NJ Gotham FC, part of the National Women’s Soccer League.
What to watch for in the Giants’ preseason opener vs. the Patriots this Thursday night.
The Yankees have lost three straight series in a row. They look far from the dominant team they were earlier this season. Getting swept by the Cardinals last weekend triggered a team meeting and a big win in Seattle on Monday. It was a blip on the radar thanks to Tuesday’s mistakes-littered extra innings loss … Continued
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPA0kh0al7Y We wrote Tuesday about how former Mets right-hander Nelson Figueroa unexpectedly came out of retirement to start the first game of an impromptu doubleheader for the Staten Island FerryHawks. The 48-year-old did not get the win in his first professional outing in eight years. But he certainly did his job. In case you missed … Continued

We hate to be a buzzkill. But the recent Shohei Ohtani–Yankees trade discourse is skipping over an inconvenient reality. The Bombers are clearly interested. General manager Brian Cashman reportedly made a serious offer to the Angels before the trade deadline. But remember: Ohtani wanted absolutely nothing to do with New York when he arrived from … Continued
Endeavor, the massive sports and entertainment agency, bought up a bunch of minor league baseball teams last year as MLB was pulling off its massive farm system reorganization (some would say destroying it). And now it has divested itself of them due to pressure from the MLB players association. From The Athletic: Under pressure from … Continued
We focus on Aaron Judge’s home run total. That’s the universal measuring stick for sluggers, one romanticized for generations. But it is a flawed metric when assessing the special season Judge is having for the Yankees. The historic numbers we know are no longer cut-and-dry in the post-steroid era world. If Judge hits 60, that … Continued
Here are a couple of Nets drama quick-hitters to add to Tuesday’s Nets drama roundup: Kyrie Irving doesn’t hate Sean Marks and Steve Nash. The Post reported earlier this week the mercurial point guard held animosity toward the general manager and head coach. Not the case, says Shetallia Riley Irving, his agent/stepmother. “I am not … Continued
The Mets are going to see a lot of the surging Phillies over the next few weeks. Keith Hernandez will see nothing of them. And he says that is by design. The beloved SNY analyst and Mets great has caused an uproar in Philadelphia after claiming he has requested the network exclude games involving the Phillies … Continued
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPA0kh0al7Y Remember Nelson Figueroa? Brooklyn native, bounced around the big leagues for a decade, including a few years with the Mets. Also pitched in Taiwan and was a studio analyst for SNY. Anyway, he’s now the pitching coach for the Atlantic League’s Staten Island FerryHawks. And on Tuesday, at the age of 48, he’s pitching … Continued
