Joining me tonight is Tim Bontemps of the New York Post. Tim covers the minor leagues for the Post, and was in attendance for Zack Wheeler‘s debut in St. Lucie. He will also give his thoughts on whether Jesus Montero and Manny Banuelos can help the Yankees down the stretch. I will discuss the Yankees […]
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 […]
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda thinks David Cone is one fine writer. “I think it was one of the best articles I’ve read,” Lasorda said of the newspaper column the New York Mets pitcher penned the day before he started Game 2 of the National League playoffs. Among other things, Cone said in the […]
Update: According to Francesa, the Mets called him today to say that Terry Collins was “only kidding” about his comments in the Phil Mushnick story. I always believe the truth lies somewhere in between. Apparently Jeff Wilpon personally called Mike to clear the air. As always, there is always a misunderstanding at WFAN. It’s never […]
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 […]

I haven’t been live to any stadium this postseason, but I found the […]
Update: In speaking with Licata he says there was never an issue between him and Carton off the air. He disputes the report by our source regarding SNY and Pine Belt Chevy. Look for him to set the record straight in the near future on “Sal Licata Radio.” It’s 6 AM and I have not […]
Everyone assumes based on past Yankee philosophy the team will draft a high school arm with the 32nd pick on Monday. Two names mentioned by Tim Bontemps of the NY Post that we haven’t delved into yet are University of Michigan OF Ryan LaMarre and Clemson OF Kyle Parker. LaMarre had a thumb injury that […]
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 […]
