I was watching last night’s Yankees-Red Sox game, and I felt sorry for Michael Pineda during the loss. The look on his face for each of the three home runs he gave up was really sad. Did you know that his 5.56 earned run average is now the highest ERA in the American League among […]

After two batters Thursday night, the Cubs led, 2-0, on a Kris Bryant homer. Squawker Lisa and I were at the game, and I told her it might be over. Starter Steven Matz was reportedly considering surgery for a bone spur. Even if the hurting Matz managed to prevent the powerful Cubs from further damage, […]

Two big things happened in Squawkerland yesterday. I was extensively quoted in a Yahoo! Finance article about the Yankees/Stubhub ticket debacle. Click here to read the piece, and thanks to Daniel Roberts for putting me in his article! And Squawker Jon and I were at one of the best MLB games of the year last […]

I have something in common with Carlos Beltran: a sore right hamstring. In fact, I am currently on the running disabled list because of it! My running coach wants me to get some rest and get this better as soon as possible, so that I will be able to run this year’s New York City […]

I’m glad I didn’t stay up after the rain delay started last night to watch the end of the Yankee game, or I would be fit to be tied. Imagine staying up until 2:15 a.m. to see the Yankees lose! I’m also still pretty irate over StubHub making this terrible deal with the Yankees. Too much […]

From a strictly baseball standpoint, bringing back Jose Reyes is a good move. He hit .274 last year with 24 stolen bases in 116 games. The Mets gave up nothing to get him and only have to give him the minimum salary. But then there’s the reason he was so readily available – a 51-game […]

I was going to do a Squawk last night about the New York Yankees finally coming to terms with StubHub. The Yankees Ticket Exchange is no more, and StubHub will be taking over as the official secondary market for Yankees tickets. But I wanted to make sure I heard the full terms of the deal before […]

Two years ago, future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter was making his final appearances at MLB stadiums across the nation. Fans far and wide were lining up at the gates of each American League ballpark and a handful of National League stadiums to see the career-long Yankee shortstop play in that particular city one final […]

I was looking back last night at the Facebook “On This Day” feature, which showed me everything I posted on June 21. And I saw that exactly four years ago, I posted the following about LeBron James winning his first NBA championship: “Congrats to LeBron James (the A-Rod of the NBA) and the Miami Heat […]

Yes, those are the Subway Squawkers with Jeurys Familia! Last night, Hennessy V.S.O.P. Privilege hosted an event in association with LatinoBaseball.com to honor the Mets closer, and Lisa and I had the chance to ask him a few questions. Even though the Mets have the same record this season as they did at this point […]

I once attended a roundtable for writers put on by Susan Shapiro, where editors from big-name publications like the New York Times gave advice to how (and what) to pitch first-person articles. Many of the details of the event escape me now, but I do remember a sports editor practically begging the audience not to […]

The sport of soccer may not typically see the same level of popularity in the United States as it does internationally, but that certainly hasn’t been the case this month as Copa America Centenario, the special centennial edition of Copa America, takes place on American soil for the first time. With a chance to see […]

So former Met Ike Davis is coming to the Bronx. If only Nick Swisher had been a Met or a Red Sox. Then Brian Cashman might actually bring him up from Triple-A. Let’s face it. If you want the Yankees to pick you up from the proverbial baseball scrap heap, it helps if you have […]
