We needed a good week. After being swept by the Mets and losing two out of three to the Red Sox, the Yankees began to turn things around by sweeping the Indians at home. The series was particularly cathartic for Mark Teixeira, who, upon returning from the disabled list a…
Rookie right-hander Zack Wheeler is supposed to be promoted to the New York Mets in time to start on June 17 against the Braves in Atlanta. Jeremy Hefner, Shaun Marcum and Dillon Gee are officially on notice. But the funny thing is, as wretched as the Mets have been playing…
When someone asks me where I envision my future career, my answer always seems to catch them off guard. “I want to work in baseball.” “Oh, really? How, uh, interesting.” That’s usually how the conversation goes. I’m sure most people don’t really understand what goes on behind the scenes in…
Despite the fact that he hasn’t come close to playing a game this season, Alex Rodriguez is once again front-page news. The rehabbing Yankee third baseman could face a 100-game suspension if allegations that he was linked to Anthony Bosch and his Biogenesis anti-aging clinic are true. Bosch is accused…
The Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners got through 13 innings last night, and still, there was no score. Finally, after hours of shutout baseball by both teams, the White Sox broke through in the top of the 15th with a five-run “offensive explosion.” Chicago seemed poise to win the…
Only the Mets could figure out a way to win four straight games from the Yankees and still, by the end of the same week, elicit laughter and mockery from Yankee fans. Indeed, the Mets, four-game sweep notwithstanding, are—or should be—the laughingstock of baseball now after dumping three straight to…
Maybe if the Yankees take this weekend’s series against the Red Sox everyone will forget about the Mets debacle. Then again, maybe not. Regardless, the downtrodden Yanks certainly began to turn things around Friday night. In a 4-1 victory over the Sox, there was lots to celebrate, unlike this past…
Now that the Mets have secured their first victory in a season series over the Yankees since 2008, can they actually use the momentum gained from conquering their crosstown counterparts as a springboard to better things? History has shown that it can happen—and sometimes, that it doesn’t happen at all.…
It’s nice to see that Daniel Murphy still cares. The oft-overlooked but remarkably steady Mets second baseman has batted .397 in his last 63 at-bats since breaking an 0-for-18 skid that had seen his batting average dip to .258 on May 11. After his 2-for-4 performance with two RBI in…
The Trenton Thunder confirmed this afternoon that Yankees third baseman Kevin Youkilis will join an already scheduled Mark Teixeria on a rehab assignment in Trenton tomorrow and Thursday when the team takes on the Erie Seawolves at Arm & Hammer Park. Both players were expected in uniform for a 10:35…
Okay, so what if you do send Ike Davis down? Then what? The Mets limped out of their three-game sweep at the hands of the Reds with a 17-27 record that promises almost assuredly to get much worse with three games against Atlanta and then four with the Yankees over the next…
This past weekend, the Yankees did something they haven’t been able to do since 2010: they won a series at Tropicana Field. However, the series wasn’t without its low points; Curtis Granderson went back on the disabled list after getting hit with another pitch, and CC Sabathia expressed heartfelt disappointment…
