In early December, after Sheldon Keefe called the team “essentially lifeless” following a bad loss, I wrote an article titled, “Essentially Lifeless: The New Jersey Devils Organization is Faltering, Part One: The Roster.” Over the past few days, Jared, and I have written articles about Tom Fitzgerald and the front office, while Gerard wrote about […]

Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our bi-weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: If the Yankees have offered Cody Bellinger an AAV OVER $30M, and he’s […]
It should come as no surprise that stripes play an important role on the sweaters and jerseys worn throughout hockey history. Stripes can add contrast, be used to separate jersey segments, accentuate logos, or provide a look that others may not have for a touch of uniqueness. We saw the New York Rangers use thicker stripes on their Winter Classic jerseys to help create that old-school look while the Florida Panthers used stripes to really add contrast and a pop of colour to their jerseys. Stri...
Ever since he was drafted fifth overall by the Astros in 2015, Kyle Tucker has been a well-known name in baseball. By the time the three most prominent outlets put out their top 100 or 101 lists in the winter of 2015-2016, Tucker was a consensus top-100 prospect in the sport. And by the time […]
Last night was ugly for Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, who turned the ball over three times in a blowout loss to Indiana. Moore is considered a top prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft Fernando Mendoza is likely to go first overall to the Raiders. Moore has been linked with the Jets as a possible option […]
Let us take a moment to revisit the Dodgers’ first World Championship as a nice throwback 70+ years later. The series started with the Dodgers dropping the first two games in the Bronx before storming back to win the next three in Brooklyn. The Yankees forced Game 7, and the Dodgers prevailed in a shutout […]
On November 9, 2024, the Mets sent reliever Eric Orze to the Rays in exchange for center fielder Jose Siri. At the time, Siri was seen as the 2025 version of Harrison Bader: a glove first defender with some potentially interesting offensive skills. It didn’t come without controversy*, and it didn’t necessarily look like a […]
The New York Knicks (24*-14 and clinging to third in the Eastern Conference) are in the midst of a challenging West Coast road trip and a bona fide slump. They’ve won just once in their last six games, and four of the last 10. Their defeat of the Clippers at home on Wednesday did little […]
It is well known that the New Jersey Devils were heavily in on Quinn Hughes. The Vancouver Canucks ended up making a deal with the Minnesota Wild and sent him there instead. There have been reports and rumors of who may have been included in the deal to acquire this third Hughes brother by the Devils, and it may have caused some unintended damage to the team this season. The Devils are 6-13-1 in their past 20 games going back to the start of December, have lost three games in a row, and lost s...
A poor record, significant injuries, and lackluster play have the 2025-26 Rangers headed nowhere. But will rock bottom propel them up, or will they break out their shovels and continue to make the hole deeper?
Welcome to the weekend, folks! The Bruins will host the New York Rangers at TD Garden in an early afternoon game, making it one of those times where a standalone preview doesn’t make a ton of sense. Instead, you get: the Public Preview! Preview Skate? Either way, it’s a two-for-one deal. The Rangers come into […]
Del Pratt is not a name that is well-remembered in Yankees’ history. It was over a century ago, only one of his seasons even overlapped with Babe Ruth, he wasn’t with the team very long, and there weren’t any World Series championships during his tenure. If anything, Pratt is most known for being traded to […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
So, were we all jazzed up by the big Kaleb Ort waiver claim?? The Yankees added someone to the 40-man roster from outside the organization!

It's been heavily speculated that the New Jersey Devils would like to get off the last 2 1/2 years of defenseman Dougie Hamilton's $9 million cap hit to alleviate their difficult cap situation. Speaking on The Sheet with Jeff Marek , insider David Pagnotta says the particular construction of Hamilton's 10-team trade list could be a sticking point for the Devils. The Devils would like something to happen. They've had a lot of discussion... I heard that his 10-team list is very strat...

It looks like the Knicks just can’t get things quite right, can they? Phoenix made New York eat their four L in five attempts, and the folks won’t have it any easier going forward with a few more West Coast games on the horizon. Here’s a little of what was said on Friday night. Mike […]
This morning, the temperature in Phoenix, Arizona, was in the forties, as it was back in New York. Different city, same stuff. Tonight, the Knicks turned the ball over 18 times and lost a game. Different city, same stuff. Yet again, New York (24*-14) stumbled out of the gate, falling behind early to the Phoenix […]

The Knicks (24*-13) open a four-game West Coast road trip tonight against a quietly strong Phoenix Suns (22-15) team, who, despite limited national buzz, has won seven of its last nine behind Devin Booker and a solid supporting cast. Tonight, the Suns will be without Jalen Green and Jamaree Bouyea, while the Knicks remain short-handed […]
The Nets are coming off the kind of loss that fans are not unhappy about. It may have been brutal, losing on a bank shot at the buzzer at home, but the game was a revelation. Egor Demin has shown a clutch gene ever since Summer League, but on Wednesday vs. the Orlando Magic, he […]
