The Yankees Are Pissed At ESPN
It’s barely June, and the New York Yankees have had seven games postponed due to rain or snow, plus one game suspended in the sixth inning.

Mets' Stadium Fire Works Too Well As A Metaphor
The Mets, who sit at .500 after an 11-1 start to the season, and with its roster suffering injuries at roughly the rate of the Crimean War, are currently in Atlanta for a series against the Braves, so they weren’t around to watch part of their stadium catch fire earlier today. (The flames were conta...
Yet Again, We've Reached Peak Mets
On Tuesday, Mets co-ace Noah Syndergaard underwent an MRI exam that revealed a strained ligament in his pitching index finger.

The Yankees Got A Ridiculous Out Thanks To Their 10th Fielder Mr. Backstop
In the 10th inning of a thrilling Yankees win over the Astros, the New York battery of Aroldis Chapman and Gary Sanchez used a ricochet off the backstop to force a threatening runner off the bases. Chapman’s 100 mph fastball missed Sanchez’s glove at first, but bounced right back to the alert catche...

Rudy Giuliani Celebrates 74th Birthday By Getting Booed By Yankees Fans
Today is Rudy Giuliani’s birthday. The former New York City mayor and lifelong buffoon and current lawyer to Donald Trump decided to put on a Yankees cap and a World Series ring and head on down to the Bronx to celebrate the big 7-4 by taking in an Astros-Yankees afternoon game. So how’d it go? ...
After Just One Season Playing For The Knicks
Poor Enes Kanter. Once so youthful and sturdy, with a shock of the darkest, most luscious hair. Still just 26 years old, and now grey as a heavy November sky. Playing for the Knicks will age even the strongest of us prematurely, I guess....
There Is No Nicer Pitch Than This 69-MPH Quick Pitch
Sometimes a batter is in there stretching out like he owns the place, and gets fooled by a quick pitch. That’s pretty fun. Baseball should have lots of those. But Saturday’s Mets-Brewers game featured an entirely different kind of quick pitch—a slow as hell one, thrown almost by accident....
Mike Trout Reduces The Yankees To Cannon Fodder
Unbelievably, Saturday morning there were things Mike Trout had not accomplished in a game of baseball. For example, he had never bunted for a home run, nor had he ever killed a dragon with a baseball bat. It turns out he had also never had a five hit game. You can now scratch that last one off the ...

The Yankees eked out a narrow win over the Angels Friday night, in a game in which Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton combined to go 1-of-13 from the plate. But that crummy hitting doesn’t mean the game was entirely without highlights from its marquee players—hearty lad Aa...
Arsenal Have A New Manager, But Still Don't Seem To Know Who They Want To Be
Arsenal have been in the midst of an identity crisis for some time now.

Cops: Lenny Dykstra Arrested After Uber Driver, Who He’d Threatened To Kill, Drove To Police Station
Lenny Dykstra has long since ceased to be a former baseball player with the Mets and Phillies. Now he’s just a semi-famous man who is occasionally in the news for something. Usually it’s not great.

José Bautista Is Somehow Hitting Fifth For The Mets Tonight<em></em>
Just a few days after the Atlanta Braves told José Bautista that he was too washed up to play third base for them and cut him loose, the once-great slugger has moved across the division to sign a one-year deal with the New York Mets. He’s not only on the active major league roster for their game ton...

Fox News Dedicates Entire Segment To Spewing Bullshit About Jemele Hill Being "Unemployed"

Saquon Barkley Might Be Worth It, If The Giants Take A Page From The Patriots
We all had a good time dunking on Giants GM Dave Gettleman a few weeks back, after Gettleman didn’t hesitate to draft running back Saquon Barkley before shaking his cane at all the analytics eggheads who questioned the long-term value of selecting a running back with the No. 2 overall pick. It’s tru...
