Barcelona jetted out to Newcastle today ahead of the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Eddie Howe’s side at St James’ Park on Tuesday night. Hansi Flick’s side will be aiming to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition as Barca seek to lift the European Cup for the […]
The NBA play-in tournament is just over a month away, making every game count. With that, we’ve decided to give you, the fans, a watching guide. We’ll keep this post updated as much as possible, so you know exactly which non-Knicks team you should be rooting for and against going forward, with a deep postseason […]
Perhaps the projected starter with the most to prove in a Yankee uniform—looking to establish himself this spring training in a new organization after an injury-riddled campaign with the Marlins—Ryan Weathers gets the opportunity to face a rather strong Mets lineup despite its many absences with multiple superstars competing in the World Baseball Classic. Even […]
The Jets are going to need to bring in at least one veteran quarterback this offseason. Unfortunately the options aren’t exactly great. Below I’ll rank the quarterbacks based on my own personal preference. I am beginning with the premise that there is no veteran quarterback worth trading for. Maybe that changes, but I don’t think […]
Mets Lineup Freddy Peralta – RHP Yankees Lineup Ryan Weathers – LHP Broadcast info First pitch: 1:10 PM EDTTV: WPIX, MLBN (out-of-market only)
The NFL’s legal tampering period begins on Monday. That is the point where free agents can start negotiating contracts with all teams. Prior to the legal tampering period, players are only allowed to negotiate with their current team. Across the league teams will look to lock in pending free agents at the last minute to […]
Meet the Mets Despite allowing two solo homers, Kodai Senga had a really good outing in his spring debut yesterday. “Really good signs,” manager Carlos Mendoza said of Senga’s performance. “We saw it from the very beginning when we’re watching live BPs on the backfield. It’s not something that I’ve seen the two years that […]
Trocheck remains a Ranger—for now. In this week’s Media Bytes, we unpack the deadline decisions, Carrick’s exit, Othmann’s fresh start, and why the real fireworks may be coming this summer.
For much of the offseason, Carson Benge has seemingly been guaranteed a starting spot in the outfield somewhere. It looked like it might be center field when the Mets were pursuing Kyle Tucker. Then it looked like it was going to be a corner (first left, then right) once Luis Robert was acquired. Sure MJ […]
While he had a perfectly nice major league career, the name Jim Bouton is probably only going to evoke one thing, and it’s not his pitching. While he was able to get the chance to do it because he was a major league pitcher of some regard, Bouton is most famous for his 1970 book […]
Say, whatever happened to those Knicks that were a disgrace to basketball during a 2-9 stretch, which saw them play some of the worst defense the NBA has ever seen? Wait, what do you mean that team has now been the best defense in basketball for six weeks? It’s been a weird year. The Knicks […]
The Knicks (41*-23) play the Lakers (38-25) today at crypto.com Arena in a nationally televised contest. The Knicks have won seven of their last ten games, while the Lakers are six and four over the same span. This game marks their second and final matchup of the season. When they last met on February 1, The […]
Last Devils Game On Saturday afternoon the Devils beat the New York Rangers 6-3 at the Rock. The win was the Devils 4th win in a row, and Jacob Markstrom’s 4th win in a row, in which he’s started 5 games in a row for the Devils. The Devils went up 1-0 1:06 into the […]

The Yankees have spent a lot of time talking about their pitching this spring, Brian Cashman making a point to praise the high upside arms the team will have at their disposal throughout the season. To be sure, the thought of Gerrit Cole arriving midseason to reinforce a rotation that should already include Max Fried, […]

The Spurs are having arguably their best stretch of the season, following a win against the Clippers in their return home from the Rodeo Road Trip. San Antonio has only dropped one of their last 15 games, and it was to the Knicks, another contender that is firing on all cylinders. The success has been […]
Bo Horvat scored with a nifty backhand on a breakaway as the Islanders continued their insane overtime record (9-0) and salvaged a win from their California swing, defeating the San Jose Sharks, 2-1. Brayden Schenn made his Islanders debut and was a presence for both the regulation goal for and against, settling in next to […]
New York Post | Mark Sánchez: After yet another bullpen session on Saturday, Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón got some good news. He is set to face hitters next week, for the first time since going under the knife to remove loose bodies from his elbow in the offseason. Rodón is healthy, but the Bombers have […]
It’d be nice to simulate to the end of the Brooklyn Nets’ season by adding 20 losses to their ledger and populating social media with a few Nolan Traore highlight reels here and there. Alas, they do have to play the games, and on Saturday evening, the Nets faced the East’s #1 seed — the […]
The San Jose Sharks welcome Matthew Schaefer and the New York Islanders into SAP Center for the second night of back-to-back games tonight. This is going to be a tough go-around for the Sharks, as the Islanders had a chance to rest up for the game. New York was in San Jose, watching the Sharks play against the St. Louis Blues last night.
New York is doing well this season and is, surprisingly, in a playoff spot as of this evening. The Islanders sit in third in the Metropolitan Division, w...
Greetings from Brooklyn, NY, where your intrepid reporter and family are visiting his stepson in beautiful Bensonhurst. Also on the road: the New York Knicks! Our heroes kicked off their five-game road trip with a merciless slaughter of the Nuggets in Denver on Friday night. This week they continue to earn their frequent flyer miles […]
It’s absolute nonsense that a game featuring so many top prospects and recent graduates wasn’t televised, but then again, maybe we’re all better off for not having seen this matchup on Saturday night. The Yankees really didn’t bring much to West Palm Beach, with a sextet of pitchers walking more Nationals than they struck out, […]
First Period The Devils took the lead just over a minute into the game, with Cody Glass finding Jesper Bratt for a one-timer past Jonathan Quick! Bratt shot the puck at the center of the net, but the play developed so quickly that Quick was completely unable to get across. 1-0, Devils. Unfortunately for the […]
