Knicks Offseason Update (Episode 268) 04.08.2021

It's been a few since we've last talked Knicks basketball. Since then they've drafted a few kids in the first round, made some free-agent acquisitions by adding veteran swingman Evan Fournier and bringing a few guys back from last year, and more. We discuss it all in the latest show.

Yanks Buy, Then Sweep -- Four-Month Progress Report (Episode 267) 02.08.2021

We are back to discuss all that's been going on lately with the New York Yankees. They made some blockbuster deals, swept the Marlins in Miami, and we get into the four-month progress report later, while grading Cashman's deadline as well. We also touch on some UFC, the Olympics, and more.

Yanks Take First Series Back From Break (Episode 266) 20.07.2021

The Yankees took two games out of three in their first series back from the All-Star break against the visiting Red Sox. Prior to the two later games the Yankees had lost their first seven versus Boston this season. But they got it together in Game 2 with a gem from Gerrit Cole and then scored nine runs in the final game on Sunday. We discuss the series, talk UFC Vegas 31, and more. If you're watc...

Yanks Prep For Second Half (Episode 265) 16.07.2021

As the second half of the season is set to begin, we briefly go over some players who need to step up, players who’ve been called up, discuss the Yankees’ odds, and more.

Yanks Enter Break With Another Dud -- Pre-Break Progress Report (Episode 264) 12.07.2021

After an inconsistent three and a half months of the season, Aaron Boone's Yankees looked like they were finding a way to head into the break on a high note. They took two from Seattle, the first two from Houston, and had a five-run lead in the ninth inning on Sunday night. But for the third time in the past two weeks they allowed at least six runs in the ninth to blow the game. The Astros walked...

Yanks Take Two In Seattle -- With Mike L Talking UFC (Episode 263) 09.07.2021

The Yankees began their road trip this week by taking two out of three in Seattle. Your casual fan will tell you they won the series but at this point in the season if the Yankees are to make a run for the wildcard they need to start sweeping teams, especially clubs like the Mariners. They could not complete that accomplishment this afternoon but as I said I do not care much anymore -- I am simply...

Yanks Get Bossed In Subway Clash (Episode 262) 05.07.2021

The Yankees keep finding ways to lose and that's what bad teams do. Aroldis Chapman is a mess and the excuses for Aaron Boone need to stop. We go over the subway series and more. Who even cares?

Yanks Have Dishonored Their Brand -- Three-Month Progress Report (Episode 261) 01.07.2021

This team is done and so am I. We give out halfway mark progress reports, discuss the state of the team, and that's all. I'm sorry. I am just tired of it.

Yanks Flop At Fenway (Episode 260) 28.06.2021

The Yankees got swept this weekend at Fenway in front of over 30,000 fans. They are now 0-6 versus the Red Sux this season and have no business winning the division at this rate. They can't beat anybody in the East and have remained mediocre all season long, equating to a 40-37 record which lands them in fourth place at the moment. The wildcard hunt even remains grim, too. And despite having a tra...

Yanks Beat A's In Opening Series 2.0 (Episode 259) 22.06.2021

The Bombers followed up their sweep from Buffalo with a series win over the Oakland A's at home. It was the first time since 2019 where Yankee Stadium was open for full capacity. The Yankees had a strong series of games where they came back from deficits in two of them with clutch hitting and good enough pitching. While Taillon sucked on Friday, Domingo was bailed out by Nestor in Game 2 on Saturd...

Yanks Sweep Jays -- With Greg From YCP (Episode 258) 18.06.2021

After an abysmal 5-13 stretch, the Yankees finally showed some life in Buffalo. They swept the Jays in three games thanks to some powerful offense. Gary is hot, DJ is swinging the bat well, Gio & Stanton had some big moments, and Gerrit Cole went eight innings! We discuss the series and also had a conversation with Greg from Yankee Crazy Podcast.

Yanks Get Swept In Philly (Episode 257) 15.06.2021

This Yankees team is flat out bad. From ownership to the front office to management to the players themselves, the Bombers have some real soul searching to do. They are running out of time quicker than they think.

Yanks Choke Away Sweep (Episode 256) 12.06.2021

It looked as if the Yankees ran into the perfect remedy to put an end to their recent misery. They went out and dominated offensively against the Twins. Gerrit Cole had the perfect response to all the hearsay, a lot of guys started to hit, and even the final game looked promising as well. But Aroldis Chapman simply did not have it in the ninth inning on Thursday when surrendering two devastating h...

Yanks Get Degraded By Boston (Episode 255) 08.06.2021

It's time to roll some heads, man.

Yanks Split With Rays In Another Frustrating Series (Episode 254) 04.06.2021

After getting swept in Detroit, the Yankees just finished off a four-game set at home where they split with the Rays. We can talk all we want about "accepting the split" against a team that's owned the Yankees, but the bottom line is this team still has just five more wins than losses after 57 games into the season. At some point they've got to stop settling and figure out. Consistently too, not j...

Yanks Continue To Fall -- Two-Month Progress Report (Episode 253) 01.06.2021

The underwhelming play continued this week/weekend for the Yankees. I have no words except a brief rant, and then we run through the two-month progress report. It's not great. This team is bad.

Knicks Get Stomped In Game 3 (Episode 252) 30.05.2021

The Knicks got abused on Friday night, dropping their first road game of the postseason. The usual issues continued to read their ugly heads. Julius Randle & RJ Barrett were detestable the entire night while Trae Young got what he wanted on the Knick defense. New York needs to figure out a way to get it together on both sides of the hardwood or else this series is not going beyond five games....

Knicks Make Clutch Game 2 Comeback (Episode 251) 28.05.2021

The Knicks bounced back very nicely from their Game 1 loss on Sunday. They got off to another slow start Wednesday but clamped down in the second half while their offense also found some continuity. Reggie Bullock played a key factor, as did Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson, and Julius Randle. We go over the game, evaluate individual performances, and later go through an in-depth film analysis on certain...

Knicks Drop Game 1 (Episode 250) 26.05.2021

After all the wait, the Knicks finally took the MSG floor on Sunday night for their first playoff game in eight seasons. Unfortunately it did not end with a win. The Knicks had major issues defending Trae Young in the lanes all night as the Hawks exploited New York's weak pick-&-roll coverage continuously. Adjustments need to be made in many areas for the Knicks to rebound in Game 2 or else th...

Yanks Sweep White Sox (Episode 249) 25.05.2021

The Yankees keep winning. They picked up an extremely impressive sweep versus the visiting White Sox, who came into this series with the American League’s best record. The starting pitching was fantastic yet again. Monty, Cole, and Taillon kept the streak alive and threw up zeros. On the other end, guys like Gleyber Torres are starting to heat up, Aaron Judge keeps hitting, and we get to a few mor...

Knicks End Season High, Look Ahead To Sunday -- Final Report Card (Episode 248) 20.05.2021

The New York Knicks wrapped up their tremendous regular season with a win against the Boston Celtics. It wasn't pretty -- we almost witnessed another fourth quarter meltdown -- but they pulled away in the end to clinch the four-seed. The Knicks will taking on the Hawks in the first round which begins Sunday at Madison Square Garden. We look ahead to the series, give a breakdown on what needs to ha...

Yanks Cannot Sweep At Camden (Episode 247) 17.05.2021

The first two games against the Orioles went great. Gio Urshela had another magical moment late while the bullpen shut it down. In the middle game Domingo picked up yet another quality start while the Yankee bats pounded O's pitching right away and throughout. But New York dropped the third game of the set when Jordan Montgomery and the pen coughed up the big lead. We go over the series and more.

Knicks Clinch, Now Go For Seeding (Episode 246) 15.05.2021

After a devastating loss to the Lakers earlier this week, the Knicks ended up getting a playoff berth the next night when Boston lost to Miami. For the first time in eight years they will be headed back to the postseason. In this one we revisit some personal memories from the past as a Knicks fan, discuss the playoff seeding, and later dive into the victory over the Spurs from Thursday.

Yanks Take Two At Trop (Episode 245) 14.05.2021

The Yankees took two out of three this week at the Trop. The pitching was sharp in the first two — Gerrit Cole dominated — but Taillon and the pen flopped in the finale while the bats remained lifeless and boring. We discuss the series and what to expect ahead. Later we’re joined by Mike & Anthony, talking UFC, 2K, and more.

Yanks Walk Off Twice On Nats (Episode 244) 10.05.2021

The Yankees took another series victory this weekend in the Bronx. They concluded their homestand at 7-2 with a pair of walk-off wins by Gleyber Torres & Giancarlo Stanton. Torres also got his first homer of the season out of the way. Meanwhile, Yankee starters continue to hold it down. Jameson Taillon, Corey Kluber, and Domingo Germán all gave New York some quality outings. We also discuss so...
