Brian Cashman had the final say on the A.J. Burnett/Joe Girardi fiasco with Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on WFAN. Joe and Evan have done a nice job with Cashman the last couple of weeks. It’s amazing what an interview can produce if you allow your subject to speak. Instead of trying to impress the Yankees [...]

The jury for the Roger Clemens case will be selected today. I wonder how you could get kicked off jury duty in this scenario. Think if Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin read this site I would be allowed on the jury? Especially this post. *** Michael Kay has been on a roll with his stupidity lately. This [...]

The guys at Nomaas call the Yankees three game sweep of the Brewers a “sausage fest.” *** By the way… using the Pythagorean Won/Loss formula, which uses runs scored vs. runs allowed to calculate a team’s record, the Yankees are the best in baseball at 50-28. Going into yesterday’s game they were averaging 6.11 runs and 9.61 [...]

On Friday, Joe Benigno interviewed Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated on WFAN. During the segment, Verducci opined the Yankees currently do not have enough starting pitching, and they should try to acquire a left handed starter. He points out the heavy lefty hitters on the Red Sox (Gonzalez, Crawford, Ortiz) as the main reason to [...]

Want to know my feelings on this situation? Read this piece I wrote a while back. (h/t to Ted Berg) This is why I like Evan Roberts, he understands the issues on a deeper level than 99.9% of the hosts at that station. Best line is when Joe Benigno says Ryan Church is a better [...]

I realize that we are at a point of saturation with the stories, memories, and discussion of late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. I figured to cap the coverage at NYBD I would share my personal story about “The Boss” since everyone else has been doing so the last 24 hours. Back in July of 1995 [...]

Derek Jeter didn’t even know there was such a thing as the Sports Illustrated jinx, saying the “last time he was on the cover was before Game 6 of the World Series, so there is your jinx.” Well, what Jeter should know is that appearing on the famous sports magazine’s cover isn’t guaranteed to cause [...]

Wanted to share one last thought about the rain out rule courtesy of author Danny Peary. Peary recently released a book called “Roger Maris: Baseball’s Reluctant Hero.” Yesterday I opined on the debate that Evan Roberts and Joe Benigno had regarding the Mets rain shortened 5 inning victory. I said the league should go by [...]

I was listening to Evan Roberts and Joe Benigno today while they were discussing the rain shortened Mets victory from Sunday night. So far this season both local teams have benefited from a rain shortened victory, but is that a good thing? Evan Roberts argued no, while Benigno cited “100 years of history” for reasons [...]

Greg Hopps of the Seven Train to Shea made a great point yesterday about yesterday’s John Harper column in the Daily News. In the piece, Harper continues to discuss all angles with respect to HGH and Jose Reyes overactive thyroid. Harper isn’t alone, WFAN’s Craig Carton has flippantly stated he believe Reyes health is directly [...]

It’s music to my ears that others are starting to realize the substandard product produced by WFAN. For about two years, this site has been a pioneer in holding WFAN accountable. I have to admit, the real source of discontent started with the “Unauthorized WFAN Forum” at mikefrancesa.com. If not for those guys, and the [...]

Have you been wondering why Mike Francesa “suddenly” had the Jason Bay hot stove scoop, when for years the FAN produces zilch during the baseball offseason? Have you been annoyed at the lack of quality Jets coverage, by the #1 Sports Pope in the country? It seems the better the Jets do the more grief [...]

- The AL may be better than the NL in all offensive categories, but man do they need to practice some bunting. Girardi would have been better off sending a pitcher up there to sacrifice instead of Swisher. I know real men don’t bunt, but you might want to start practicing in the Bronx, especially [...]

That was the quote that came out of the great Joe Benigno’s mouth as he was being interviewed by Kim Jones and Adam “The Bull” last Wednesday. I heard this during my two plus hour ride to Trenton last Wednesday, where I covered the AA Eastern League All Star Game, and have been thinking about [...]

Thought I would share a press release about the upcoming Sid Rosenberg and Joe Benigno books. You can read more about it at sidrosenberg.com Maxx Sports and Entertainment today announced that two clients, longtime New York and Miami radio host Sid Rosenberg and current WFAN midday host Joe Benigno, have signed book deals with Triumph [...]
