WFAN’s Mike Francesa aka “The Sports Pope” likes to remind everyone he is an expert on sports. A perfect example is the below video. Watch Mike rattle off statistics at a highly accurate rate: He also likes to talk politics, history, and now he is a food critic! Mike recently had a Shake Shack burger […]
We all know Bronson Arroyo is a fan favorite of WFAN’s Mike Francesa, but it appears he is fast becoming a commercial star. In addition to annual winning 15 games and pitching 200 innings he finds time to jam in this commercial for JTM Breezeway. Did anyone ever eat this stuff?
Matt Pignataro of Seven Train to Shea is spending some time out in the Cactus League. As you may already know, Matt does some work for a Texas Rangers affiliate in Spokane, Washington. Today he passed along information regarding the Mets scouting Bronson Arroyo. While talking to Matt via text, he told me that rumors […]
Fantastic news out of Metland this morning, and I don’t mean the return of Jose Reyes (though that is, of course, wonderful). Joel Sherman writes in the New York Post that the Mets are actively shopping Gary Matthews Jr. Sherman speculates that the reason to do so is that Matthews Jr. won’t like being a […]
Howard joined me tonight to talk about the latest on the hot stove. We kicked it off talking about the “small” possibility of Johnny Damon returning to the Bronx, and what that means for the Yankees lineup. Can Jorge Posada continue to produce even entering his age 38 season? We give you why that might […]
With Jason Bay in the fold, the Mets certainly seem to have enough offense on hand to get the job done. If Carlos Delgado comes back healthy, and the Mets can work something out, it’s a bonus. Yet, that starting staff behind Johan Santana – John Maine, Mike Pelfrey and Oliver Perez – is clearly […]
Spoke to Joe Demayo last night and we have some Mets nuggets for the rumor mill: - If Carlos Delgado doesn’t get reinjured and shows solid mobility the Mets will resign him. The feeling is mutual since he prefers to play first base instead of being a full time DH. - Many feel it’s still […]
So Jason Bay, pending physical, will play left field and bat fifth for the Mets in 2010. I outlined the reasons why I think this is a good deal earlier today. What’s next for the Mets? Probably announcing the Bengie Molina deal, however I am sure we will start to hear more rumblings after the […]
Here we go again. The Yankees are going into a collective slide. They have now lost 6 of 10 games and have seen 4 games trimmed off their lead over the past 2 weeks. The Yanks are now 1-3 on the West Coast trip from hell, as they lost another game to the “Asinine Angels […]
- The bulge opened up by the Yankees is certainly not insurmountable. Even after last night’s loss they still have a five game lead in the loss column. You can’t write Boston off, but a playoff spot is looking very good at this point. Going into last night’s action there was a 93% probability the […]
Our main Yankees source down in Tampa called us on Monday night to talk about the team’s chances of picking up a pitcher via the waiver wire. The way things look at the moment, and things could change, Yankees management does not expect to pick up any “pitcher of substance” that could help the team. […]
Now that the dust has settled on the trade deadline frenzy we can look at where the Yankees stand. It was a great day for those in the organization that have pushed Brian Cashman to be conservative with all his top prospects. Meanwhile, those that were concerned about the pitching and the Red Sox making […]
Frank is hearing that Arizona and the Yankees are talking about pitching. A starter/reliever package from what he was told. Nothing as come to fruition and he is working on more details. Wouldn’t Chad Qualls look good in the eighth inning? Especially if Hughes, as Peter Abraham mentioned today, is being worked back into the […]
We’re just a few scant days away from the non-waiver trading deadline and many Yankee fans are wondering what Brian Cashman has up his sleeve. We’ve been told by our main Yankees source that the team is still looking to upgrade both the pitching staff and the bullpen. Because it is a “sellers market,” due to the large […]
Let’s put the Roy Halladay stuff aside for a bit when we talk about the Yankees pitching. Sergio Mitre will be going tonight against the Orioles and, despite my prediction that he will become the next Aaron Small, you have to think that he won’t fare well with his 1.5 National League WHIP. This isn’t […]
