NEW YORK –By the close of business on Thursday, February 18, the New York Knicks had acquired a seven-time All-Star and two quality guards.  In the process, they had also saved enough money to add two premier free agents either this summer or next.

UNIONDALE, NY— Martin Biron provided the Islanders with consistent production on another occasion. The Islanders goaltender stopped 28 of 30 shots against Philadelphia, allowing only close-range goals from wide open forwards Danny Briere and Jeff Carter.

At F.R.O., you won’t find [...]

The plan began to take shape nearly a year ago. Once the 2008 Yankees’ record slipped down far enough to where both the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox were going to finish ahead of them, the team’s hierarchy knew that drastic changes were needed.
The Bombers had made the postseason 12 consecutive years under [...]

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY— In seasons past the fortnight before the All-Star game provided the home Citibank Park clubhouse with the ambiance of an airport terminal.
Players would arrive and depart in whirlwind fashion with then-manager Dave LaPoint seeking to rectify lineup and rotation deficiencies. LaPoint is still in charge of personnel decisions, though the roster movements [...]
