The Warren…err, Wilpon Commission came back and gave up their report. Apparently a lone gunman did it. Omar Minaya acted alone.
Speaking to the press before yesterday’s game, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon apologized for Minaya’s slight of Daily News reporter Adam Rubin and said that Minaya felt remorse about the situation.
“[Minaya's] not in a great state [...]

Former MLB catcher Brent Mayne writes a weekly catching tip on his blog dealing with different parts of the game, but mainly catching. Last week’s tip was called Anticipation. As a catcher, Brent explains that anyone can strap on the catching gear and get behind the plate. But if you, as a catcher, don’t know [...]

I think I found it this past weekend in a small town in Rockland County, NY.
It’s called the “Collegiate Development Football League.” Based in the little town of Hilburn, the CDFL really is the “second chance” for 18-24 year olds who feel they can still play the game at a high level. The brainchild of [...]

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY— The Ducks endured losing its staff ace when Ken Ray’s hot started landed him a minor league contract with Cleveland’s organization in May.
While the Ducks didn’t win the first half division crown, quality pitching propelled the club to a first-place start in the second half. But the Ducks will need to demonstrate [...]

FLUSHING, NY – It was only fitting that the Mets came home right after Paul McCartney vacated Citi Field, because the message they wanted to send was “it’s getting better all the time” but it came out as “it can’t get much worse.”
Yes the Mets botched another firing today when Jeffrey Wilpon’s gang who couldn’t [...]

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY- Timely hits marked a potent offense as the Ducks surged to the Liberty Division’s top spot to start the second half.
But starting pitcher Randy Leek was the victim of the Ducks first offensive cold spell since the season’s midway point. Leek limited Bridgeport to just one earned run in striking out a [...]

BRONX, NY – There is no telling how long this will continue and the New York Yankees will continue to say they are not looking at the standings or the scoreboard. They picked up their eighth straight win and improved to a season high 22 games over .500 taking the second game of a four [...]

According to Marc Spears from Yahoo Sports, the Nets have some interest in Celtics forward-center Glen Davis.
With Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson gone, the team has some holes to plug, but Davis, may not be the answer. The team already has Brook Lopez, Josh Boone, Tony Battie, Sean Williams and Yi Jianlian who can play [...]
