Part of my day job involves fact-checking information. Plus, I also have a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to stories that seem too good to be true. So when I saw a recent claim about a longtime trade offer involving Derek Jeter, I immediately called shenanigans on it. And sure enough, my initial […]

The world’s smallest violin. Playing just for Randy Levine! Leave it to New York Yankees president Randy Levine to make the team’s point on revenue sharing so poorly, that you have no sympathy for what could be a potentially be a valid point of view. Why this clown, who, to steal a line from “The […]

Remember how Squawker Jon and I waited in the cold for two hours on Presidents’ Day to get free Mets tickets? And how I almost froze my tuchis off, the day after running a 10-mile race in single-degree weather and getting hypothermia? Anyhow, you may remember that the Mets ended up giving us a better […]

How will the Mets do this year? Who will be the breakout player? I was one of the participants in Playing Pepper, an annual survey of bloggers from each team from Daniel Shoptaw of Cardinals blog C70 at the Bat. Other questions involved evaluating the offseason and which team we enjoyed beating the most. I […]

We’ll always have Ruben Tejada walking onto the field on a broken leg with his Mets-themed cane to help inspire the Mets to the World Series. But we won’t have infield depth with Asdrubal Cabrera on the DL and David Wright not having played in a game yet because the Mets apparently think that shedding […]

I was looking at SportsSpyder.com, one of my go-to sites (if you want to see the latest articles on whatever team you follow, go there!) to see the latest on the Yankees. And I just saw this article from Deadspin, about the repercussions of the Yankees’ new ticket policy. The New York City Football Club […]

I turned 49 a few weeks ago, but I still feel pretty young. Aside from being in the best shape of my life, thanks to adopting a fitness regimen I have stuck to, I think a lot of that has to do with my attitude. IMHO, nothing ages you faster than being closed to new […]

It’s official. John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman will be back in the Yankees’ broadcast booth this year and the next, something that was talked about a few weeks ago. WFAN recently announced the news with some hyperbolic comments that made my eyes roll so much, they’re still at the back of my head! Let me […]

The Mets were in World Series form in their first 2016 meeting with the Yankees today. Unfortunately, by that I mean they blew the lead in the ninth inning, which they did yesterday as well. It’s only spring training, and closer Jeurys Familia was not involved, but it would have been nice to beat the […]

Donald Trump and Paul O’Neill at Trump’s victory speech last night I was fixing supper after working out tonight, and minding my own business, when Donald Trump came on to blather about his presidential campaign victories tonight. If that weren’t painful enough, I nearly lost my lunch (make that dinner!) when I learned that 1) […]

So Chase Utley’s dirty slide inspires a major rule change, but MLB can’t bring itself to uphold Utley’s measly two-game suspension. As the Daily News’s Anthony McCarron writes, “you can pretty much circle May 9 as the date when Utley will get the real penalty for the dirty slide that broke Ruben Tejada’s leg last […]

I really don’t like talking politics on the internet, and even less so in this blog. Jon and I have tried to keep this blog as an escape from the “real world.” I get into enough arguments about Yankees-Mets or Yankees-Red Sox; I don’t need to fight political arguments, too! Until now, that is. I […]

Hal (Rip Van Winkle) Steinbrenner has finally woken up from his winter snooze to talk to the press. Specifically, ESPN New York’s Wally Matthews. And specifically, to say that he and his siblings are not selling the team, and will keep the team for the next generation of Steinbrenners. Oh goody — another generation of […]

I was on the Sully Baseball podcast twice in the last few days. Click here to hear me yak with my friend Paul Francis Sullivan about MLB retirement tours. Click here to hear me talk about the Yankees’ ticket debacle.

I love “The Flinstones,” while Jon thinksthey are a cheap “Honeymooners” ripoff. And they said it wouldn’t last. Today marks the 10th anniversary of Subway Squawkers. That means we — and especially me! — have been annoying people for 10 long years. (Actually, I’ve been annoying people for my whole life, but it’s been 10 […]
