I am joined by Kevin Kernan of the New York Post tonight to preview the 2012 Mets and Yankees. We will talk about Michael Pineda, keys to a successful Yankees campaign, and Kevin’s outlook on the Bombers. Also hear me get Kevin’s thoughts on 3 things that will, win or lose, make the Mets season […]

Kevin Kernan went out to Wyoming to catch up with Mets first round pick Brandon Nimmo. A great piece that you should read in full, but this quote from his American Legion coach, Tagg Lain, stands out: “I’ve coached Bryce Harper in the Tournament of Stars. “That’s when I told [tournament officials] that I’ve got […]

Last night, Kevin Kernan of the NY Post talked baseball with me on my radio show. He’s been spending the last couple of days in Port St. Lucie, and had a chance to catch up with David Wright. As discussed earlier in the week, Wright gave the team a “put up or shut up” missive […]

Bad night for Moneyballers, as Tony Siegle, senior advisor of Giants told me, “We’ve shown Moneyball is a bunch of garbage” #MLBless than a minute ago via TweetDeckKevin KernanNYPost_Kernan I am not sure that is completely an accurate statement, but what the Giants did prove is that good pitching and a hot closer will certainly […]

I haven’t been live to any stadium this postseason, but I found the […]

Kevin Kernan of the NY Post suggested today that Roy Oswalt could be the missing piece that would turn around the Mets season. I agree with Kevin that Oswalt could change the dynamic of the Mets rotation and make them legitimate Wild Card contenders, but only with a caveat: Carlos Beltran. It’s painfully obvious the […]

To say the mainstream media is overanalyzing the start of the baseball season is this site acting as “the pot calling the kettle black.” We, after all, try to delve into the details from the Independent League to the majors. Regardless, the amount of over analysis of the Mets and Yankees just 3 games in […]

Kudos to Kevin Kernan of the NY Post for calling out “Nook Laloosh” Chamberlain for his usual clichéd analysis of his pitching. Part of me feels bad for Chamberlain. Yes, I think he still should lose some more weight and doesn’t repeat his mechanics, but the Yankees have created an environment of excuses for the […]

Yankees fans have never had to deal with much disappointment. What was the last “can’t miss” prospect that didn’t make an impact in pinstripes? In 2008 they were fed their first dose of reality as Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy didn’t live up to expectations as the next great trio of Yankees pitchers. […]

Some random Mets thoughts: - I wrote earlier in the week the temptation to use Jenrry Mejia might be too much for Jerry Manuel. I compared Mejia to another local prospect, Joba Chamberlain, who was brought in to save the Yankees bullpen in 2007. Yesterday, Jerry Manuel was talking about Mejia’s cutter being the key […]
