The Texas Rangers scored twice but the New York Yankees scored nine runs. No team in the American League is very good right now except for the team the Rangers have played like six times in the last two weeks, which happens to be the team they played today. The Rangers won two of those […]
The Brooklyn Nets plan last season was not some mystery. From Media Day back in September, it’s been about “playing the probabilities” and “flexibility.” Could you call it tanking? In response, Nets officialdom did everything but paraphrase the fictional prime minister in the British House of Cards TV series: “You might very well think that; […]

Throughout the first two games of this series the Knicks have been able to slow down the Sixers’ offense in a way they really hadn’t experienced in their first-round series against Boston. On top of the 4-of-19 shooting performance that sunk them in the fourth quarter of Game 2, they’ve really struggled to take care […]
I can still remember exactly where I was when Bartolo Colon hit his first career home run, ten years ago today, May 7, 2016. I was throwing away a poopy diaper. My son was three months old, and after feeding him, my wife handed him off to me for some dad time while she rested. […]
Monday night, the Knicks won by TKO. Last night, they won on points. Tomorrow night, they may have to fight with one arm tied behind their back. While the absence of Joel Embiid for any extended time dooms any chance the 76ers have of winning this series, his absence in Game 2 was an ironic […]
Jasson Domínguez exited today’s game against the Rangers after a scary collision with the left field wall. Brandon Nimmo, Texas’ leadoff hitter, sent a line drive to left, which Domínguez caught before ramming into the wall. Domínguez immediately went to the ground and Aaron Boone and the team’s trainers quickly ran to the outfield. The left fielder was […]
1927 The Comiskey Park upper deck officially opened to fans, as 37,000 fans streamed in to watch the New York Yankees crush the home team, 8-0. The upper deck added 23,200 seats to the ballpark’s capacity. It was a tight contest until the ninth inning, when Lou Gehrig capped a six-run frame for the Bronx […]
Mitch was ill, Embiid was sore, and the Sixers are growing sour. New York swept the home half of their second-round series, and it’s now time to do the same, only a few miles out southwest. Here’s the latest from a delightful Game 2 victory. Mike Brown On Anunoby’s injury: “I haven’t talked to anybody. […]
It’s getaway day game time at the Stadium! The Yankees are up bright and early for a 12:35 pm start as they host the Rangers, seeking to win their sixth consecutive series. The Bombers outslugged Texas and handed a second loss to Jacob deGrom in the opener, before suffering a second defeat at the hands […]
We continue to look at upcoming free agents from the New Jersey Devils organization, turning from two depth defenders a week ago now to two depth forwards. Both Brian Halonen and Marc McLaughlin spent some time in New Jersey this season, but most of their time was with Utica in the AHL. Each brought production […]
Prior to Thursday afternoon’s game against the Rangers, the Yankees called up right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck. The 27-year-old has been with Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre all season, and will likely make his big-league debut against Texas. Across seven starts and 37 innings to this point in 2026, Beck’s results have been so-so. The righty has managed […]

Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
Both this season and last, there’s been lots of focus on whether we’d make the playoffs. Whether we’d ‘sneak in’ on the final day, be ‘in and around’ the playoffs for the new season or be able to ‘get back in contention’ over the final few weeks. And eventually, a sense that, although ‘at one […]
The Yankees bullpen has stabilized somewhat of late, posting a sub-1.00 ERA in the month of May. A lot of this is driven by a left-on-base rate of around 90-percent, which is likely to regress from its unsustainably high point. All the same, leads have felt safer than in the first few weeks of the […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 7, 2026 against the New York Yankees: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Paul Blackburn for the Yankees. Texas plays a very early game in New York today. It is the final game of the road trip, and will determine whether the Rangers win or lose this […]
The March trade by the Miami Dolphins sending safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets is officially in the books. With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend behind us, teams have introduced their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft behind us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included draft picks. That includes a deal made earlier this offseason that sent quarterback Geno Smith from […]
The Yankees broke their five-game winning streak on Wednesday, their offense finally getting stopped as Yankee Killer Nathan Eovaldi dominated them once again. Their last two losses both came at his hands, as he tossed seven shutout innings in their series in Texas before going eight strong with just an Aaron Judge solo shot blemishing […]
The Rangers' draft lottery played out in the worst possible way, Toronto somehow won the right to draft Gavin McKenna, and Hartford fired its entire coaching staff. Eric and Joe sort through all of it—live—in Episode 83 of Blueshirt Bandwidth.

At the conclusion of the 2025 NFL season, four teams ended up with 3-14-0 records: the Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, and the Arizona Cardinals. As a franchise, the Cardinals set a new team record for the most losses in a single season. When the NFL draft was slotted, the Raiders had […]
Meet the Mets The offense showed up in a big way in the Mets’ 10-5 win over the Rockies. Marcus Semien led the offensive charge with a four-hit night that included a home run. Juan Soto also went deep leading off the game to set the tone early on. The pitching struggled a bit, but […]
