Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
In the myriad of barrel-scraping offseason content that always involves player ratings, rankings or any debate-stirring comparables, finding Brooklyn Nets has become its own game of Where’s Waldo. At least that guy wore a red hat and sweater to make himself stand out. Neither Brooklyn’s color scheme nor their roster has helped them establish a […]
The BK Block, the section of Barclays Center dedicated to members of the Brooklyn Brigade and other long-time fans, will be “paused” for this season, according to sources both in Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, the Nets parent company, and the Brigade who have collaborated for seven years. In an exclusive statement to NetsDaily, a BSE […]
The Brooklyn Nets announced Wednesday that Fanbo Zeng, the 22-year-old 6’11” small forward who is one of China’s top young players, has been waived. The team also waived Malachi Smith, a 6’6” shooting guard who they had signed Tuesday in their effort to get to the salary cap floor under the CBA. Later Wednesday, the […]
Monday’s 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets was a doozy. Jake Allen played the first two periods in net for the New Jersey Devils, ceding the crease while up 2-1 due to cramping. Jacob Markstrom thus played the third period, and everything was going well for the first 19 minutes and 30 seconds he […]
Rays infielder Taylor Walls has been named one of three American League finalists for a Rawlings Gold Glove Award at shortstop, joining Texas’ Corey Seager and Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. Despite appearing in only 101 games, Walls’ 18 defensive runs saved were third most among major league infielders behind Toronto’s Ernie Clement (22) and […]
The Washington Wizards beat the New York Knicks, 120-103 on Monday on the second night of a back-to-back in the preseason. Washington is now 1-1 and has some positive momentum before heading into their next game. We have already written a bit about the likelihood that the Wizards will be one of the worst teams […]
It’s early and all that, but the Islanders really need a win — hell, even an extra-time loss — to avoid all the terrible associations that would come with an 0-4 start. Buffalo and San Jose are the only other winless teams thus far, and that’s not great company to keep. Worse, their opponent on […]
One Zag is out, another one in. Just a month after his 25th birthday, the Brooklyn Nets forward Drew Timme was waived after averaging 12.1 points in 28.2 minutes on a 44.1 field goal percentage in nine games played in 2024-25. He also chipped in 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Along with this […]
The Carolina Hurricanes are hitting the road for the annual State Fair road trip, and it’s a brutal six-game swing that gets started tonight at 10:00 PM ET against the San Jose Sharks. The Canes are one of just three undefeated teams left in the NHL, having knocked off the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia […]
The New York Islanders have zero standings points through their first three games but 18-year-old (and TOI leader) Matthew Schaefer has a point in each game. That could be a harbinger of how the 2025-26 transition season will go, we’ll see. It’s only three games in, but their power play is still whiffing, their franchise […]
Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ first two games of the season, which were mostly bad except for two new guys who were actually trying to win. We asked them for a couple of wins, something they haven’t started a campaign with in ages. They did not do that, losing in Pittsburgh and against Washington […]
The 0-2 Islanders’ homestand continues tonight (duh, this afternoon) with a visit from the Winnipeg Jets, who’ve opened the season by announcing a long-term extension with one of their franchise players, Kyle Connor, who promptly scored a hat trick in their season-opening loss. With some line mixups during Saturday’s home opener, no wins yet, and […]
Another early game on tap for the Winnipeg Jets ( 1-1-0 ) as they head out on their first road trip of the 2025-26 NHL campaign, as they set to square off against the New York Islanders ( 0-2-0 ) when the puck eventually drops at noon Central. The True Northers split their opening home stand versus a couple of Western Conference foes, while the Long Islanders clashed with a couple Metropolitan Division rivals only to walk away with a couple of narrow losses ( 4-3 PIT/4-2 WSH ). Injur...
The Islanders’ home opener was a disappointment, with the team neutralized by the Capitals in the first period, before they made it a little interesting later on in a 4-2 loss. In what may be a refrain this season, the main bright spot was Matthew Schaefer, who led the team in minutes played by a […]

What Lies At The Heart Of The Yankees' Season-Threatening Lost Weekend In Toronto Zach Braziller, Post Somewhat lost amid the [ALWC series win] was the underwhelming offensive performance in that three-game series. The Yankees moved on in spite of their lineup's shortcomings. It hasn't gotten better in the ALDS, a major reason the Yankees will face elimination in Game 3 in The Bronx trailing, 2-0. Look, the pitching has been abysmal. Max Fried laid a complete egg on Sunday, hammered for ...

If rooting for (or against) former Nats in the playoffs is fun for you heres the list Blue Jays : Max ! although they left him off the ALDS roster as he struggled at the end of the year. Jacob Barnes would also get a ring if they are generous (release by Tor in August) Yankees : Amed Rosario is it, though they have regular season Nats villain DJ LeMahieu and post-season Nats hero, Trent Grisham. Tigers : "Garbage" Kyle Finnegan was acquired by Detroit in a trade. Tanner Raine...

Yankees - 000 001 000 - 1 6 0 Blue Jays - 110 000 44x - 10 14 0 " By the end, the allegedly super polite Canadians were co-opting a famous Boston-favored phrase: 'Yankees S—!' " Yankees Unravel Late In Brutal ALDS Game 1 Loss To Blue Jays Greg Joyce, Post The good vibes the Yankees carried across the border are apparently worth nothing in Canadian currency. . . . The biggest Yankees bats came up small in key spots, Luis Gil got tagged in an abbreviated start and then Lu...
Red Sox - 000 000 000 - 0 5 2 Yankees - 000 400 00x - 4 8 1 "I guess the Yankees are bound to beat us in the playoffs every 22 years or so." – Petagine in a Bottle (SoSH) Cam Schlittler's pitching performance (8-5-0-0-12, 107) was the only story worth telling from the Yankees' 4-0 win in the deciding game of the ALWC series. Schlittler spent his evening steadily – and seemingly without effort – firing fastballs at 100/101. He spotted his pitches extremel...
Against the New York Jets in Week 4, the Miami Dolphins got the win, but their defense remains a significant concern this season.
Red Sox - 002 001 000 - 3 6 0 Yankees - 200 010 01x - 4 10 1 If Thursday's Game 3 ends up being as evenly-matched as the first two games, fans of both teams will be completely exhausted. Game 2 was packed with no less tension, elation, anxiety, relief, and terror as Tuesday's opener. Boston manager Alex Cora stayed with starter Brayan Bello for only 28 pitches and ended up using six bullpen arms. The Yankees slipped home a run against Garrett Whitlock in the eighth and ...
