Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
Sean Marks may have been the GM of the Brooklyn Nets for a decade, but his roots lie elsewhere. The native of Auckland, New Zealand, is part of the first generation of international NBA players, as he said among the first 40 or 50. He became the first player from his home country to play […]
The Mets led 3-0, Nolan McLean was perfect through five, and the Twins were throwing a spot-starter in Simeon Woods Richardson, who came into the game with a 6.10 ERA. The Mets also somehow lost, again, giving them an abhorrent 12th-straight loss. They are now 7-16. Yikes. The game was a game of two halves. […]
With the Twins trying to avoid extending their losing streak to 5, Simeon Woods Richardson was tasked with out-dueling the Mets Nolan McLean. The assignment proved to be difficult, as McLean would take a perfect game into the 6th inning. Meanwhile, old nemesis Francisco Lindor smashed a 3-run homer in the third off of SWR, […]
Boy, does it feel good to beat Boston. The Yankees got their heads right over the weekend in their home sweep of Kansas City and carried that momentum to Fenway Park, handling the scuffling Red Sox in the first rivalry meeting of 2026. Luis Gil had little trouble shutting down a brittle Boston offense, and […]
I thought this meter would be better than the hitting meter because the offense has really been the problem. But honestly? It’s not that much better. There are more positive grades for sure, but there are almost as many pitchers mired in the poop right now as the hitters, which is almost impressive. All of […]
As we approach the big day, Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus has posted a last minute mock draft that has the Jets focused on defense. 2. New York Jets: Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State Reese was a unique player at Ohio State, splitting snaps nearly evenly between edge rusher and off-ball linebacker. He recorded 34 […]
The American League East has been a bit of a mess so far this year. The Yankees squandered a strong opening week, but the rest of the division has similarly alternated between dominance and disaster. Entering Tuesday night, everybody is within four games of .500. It’s a perfect time to sprinkle a little rivalry into […]

Anytime the Yankees show up on the schedule, regardless of the standings, it presents an opportunity for either a dramatic shift in mood, or a dramatic amplification of whatever mood is already in place. Tonight is no different as the Red Sox and Yankees meet for the first time in 2026 with the Red Sox […]
According to manager Carlos Mendoza, the Mets are calling up Christian Scott to start Thursday’s game with the Minnesota Twins. Kodai Senga will remain in the rotation for now, while David Peterson will be in the bullpen for at least this turn through the rotation. Due to that, it is likely that a reliever will […]
Listen, there is no good introduction to this other than to just give you a trigger warning because if you read on, you will see the worst meter you have ever laid your eyes upon. And once you lay your eyes upon it, you will not be able to unsee it. I can’t. I don’t […]
Mets outfielder Juan Soto will return to the lineup tomorrow, according to reports. Soto has been sidelined since April 3 with a low grade calf strain he suffered in the first inning of the game that day in San Francisco while running the bases. The Mets won that game, the first of a four-game winning […]
The Red Sox salvaged a series split with the Detroit Tigers thanks to extra-inning heroics on Friday and a magical second half of the Patriots’ Day game. Sitting at 9-13, the Red Sox are in fourth place in the AL East, tied with the Toronto Blue Jays. Now the first place (sigh) Yankees come to […]
Jalen Brunson: C- The 29 points and seven assists will be what people see, and the box score-watchers will say he had a solid game. But anybody watching the game can tell you that he did not. Not only did he shoot just 10-26 from the field and 5-7 from the free-throw line, he took […]
On Sunday afternoon, Aaron Judge did something he had done 89 times previous — tying Mickey Mantle for the second-most such occasions in franchise history. A long, deep fly ball went out toward Monument Park, and Judge went deep in the first inning, giving the Yankees a lead they never looked back from. It was […]
There was a time when BEAT LA! was the rising tide that lifted a bad season or served as a line of demarcation for the team’s competitiveness that year. Then it sort of morphed into a bellwether for the state of the franchise relative to its peers — especially when it comes to the industry’s […]
There’s been a lot of emotion pouring out of the Knicks-verse after the startling fourth-quarter collapse in Game 2 that turned the series from a Knicks stranglehold to anyone’s series. While not quite as jaw-dropping as the collapse against Indiana last year, this one was more methodical. In a way, though, it’s worse because it […]
Game two’s loss on Monday night was a messy amalgamation of inexplicable coaching decisions, selfish play, bad and bad shot-making from both the three-point line and the free-throw line, and it led to one of the most frustrating losses of the season. So what are the biggest takeaways from a loss that I’m sure everybody […]
The Yankees entered their recent series against the Royals needing a serious shift in momentum. They were 2-7 in their previous nine games — a stretch which saw them get one-hit by the Rays, fail to score for 17 straight innings, and surrender 13 home runs and 32 runs total in four games against the […]
The Knicks turned my already-bad Monday into a nightmare. But hey, they didn’t have a timeout! Here’s the latest from inside a burnt MSG. Mike Brown On Atlanta’s desperation in Game 2:“You could tell that they were playing with a level of desperation.” On late-game offense in Game 2:“Down the stretch, we got some pretty […]
A disappointing centennial season still featured individual strides, with key contributors stepping up and others falling short.
The Boston Red Sox are something of a rollercoaster ride… It’s safe to say that watching them has been rather nauseating at points, as the peaks and valleys not only arise with each passing series, but with each game, inning, and pitch. Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the perfect encapsulation of this on Monday, as he was […]
For much of Mets history, fans have been able to find some solace amid their misery in a simple notion: At least it’s not as bad as 1962. With the 2026 Mets mired in an 11-game losing streak, now would seem the perfect time to cue that sentiment once again. The 1962 Mets managed to […]
The 1929 Yankees were riding high. Coming off back-to-back World Series sweeps and with the heart of Murderers’ Row still intact, a team which had been an afterthought for most of its history appeared to be cresting a wave. Then, tragedy struck. Beloved manager Miller Huggins, who’d been at the helm for the Yankees’ turnaround […]
