The glory years are what usually spring to mind when you bring up the history of the New York Yankees, whether the days of Ruth and Gehrig, the midcentury dominance of Mantle and Berra, or the 1990s dynasty.

George Lombard Jr. and Elmer Rodríguez are typically regarded as the two best prospects on the Yankees, but the next two are pretty much interchangeable. Some believe No.3 belongs to Carlos Lagrange and No.4 to shortstop Dax Kilby; others have them in the reverse order. In any case, the point stands: Kilby, last year’s first-round […]

Blah, blah, you’ve heard it all before. But it would be a different rookie from the Toronto area […]
The past two playoffs, the Knicks lost to the Pacers despite Jalen Brunson’s heroics. Tonight the Knicks beat beat them 136-110 despite Brunson’s absence due to ankle and cervical owies.

The New York Islanders are solidifying their blueline for years to come. The Isles announced on Tuesday, they've signed former first-round pick Kashawn Aitcheson to a three-year, entry-level contract. Aitcheson is known as one of the best defenceman outside the NHL and is notoriously a bone-crushing defender, who isn't afraid to step up and lay huge hits in open ice. The 19-year-old blueliner leads all Ontario Hockey League (OHL) defensemen in goals (28), power-play goals (15), points (70) and...
The New York Islanders went pretty close to all in this season, as rookie sensation Matthew Schaefer is certainly accelerating the expectations. Schaefer's burst onto the scene and pushed management to sell off some assets ahead of the trade deadline, and expect to see the Isles pushing to make some noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs This offseason, there's inevitably going to be roster turnover, regardless of the outcomes this spring.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper has released a new mock draft where he has the Jets using their two first round picks to address needs at the two most important positions on the field.

Back by (popular?) demand, we’ll try to have game thread posts that are separate from the morning thread and any other posts. Ideally, this is to help people riff in-the-moment (hilarious, heated, or otherwise) while not having the emotional reactions get confused in the morning/daytime threads. You know, like once upon a time. The Islanders […]
The Mets settled for their second tie of the spring as nine innings were not enough to determine a winner in their game against the Marlins. The game ended 5-5, though the Mets at one point led 5-1 until the late innings.
Yankees fans got some good news on Tuesday morning, learning that rehabbing ace Gerrit Cole would grace our television screens on Wednesday against the Red Sox in a one-inning cameo. He’s still probably two months (or more) off from a regular-season appearance, but it’ll be a great sign. He and All-Star lefty Carlos Rodón will […]
