Podcast: Andrew Rotondi

Andrew Rotondi of Bronx Pinstripes joined me to talk about the Subway Series, which starting pitcher the Yankees need and how to optimize the batting order.

Brett Gardner

The Yankees were shut out for the first time all season on Sunday night, and against the Mets of all teams. But after winning on Friday and Saturday, the Yankees won the first half of the Subway Series and have a three-game lead in the loss column in the AL East. It’s a good time to be a Yankees fan, but there’s always room for improvement, and as Yankees fan, I always want the room for improvement to actually be improved.

Andrew Rotondi of Bronx Pinstripes joined me to talk about the Subway Series, Masahiro Tanaka being unable to run the bases, which starting pitcher they want the Yankees to trade for, the batting order, what Giancarlo Stanton has to do to avoid being a disappointment and the return of Dellin Betances.

Podcast: Jared Carrabis

The Barstool Sports blogger joined me to talk about the Yankees-Red Sox series and A-Rod’s final visit to Fenway Park.

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox

Another Yankees-Red Sox game and another loss for the Yankees. In his final visit to Fenway Park, A-Rod was on the bench as Joe Girardi said, “We’re trying to win games,” which meant there were better options than A-Rod to play. The better options went 0-for-8, including leaving the bases loaded in the ninth inning.

Jared Carrabis of Barstool Sports Boston and Section 10 Podcast joined me to talk about the Yankees-Red Sox series, A-Rod’s last visit to Fenway Park, the near brawl on Tuesday night, if the Red Sox are a playoff team and what life would have been like if A-Rod was traded to the Red Sox.

Podcast: Andrew Rotondi

The Bronx Pinstripes blogger joined me to talk about all things A-Rod with his Yankees career coming to an end.

Alex Rodriguez

There are four games left in the A-Rod Yankees era. After 12 years and 12 seasons (it would have been 13 if not for 2014), A-Rod will no longer be a Yankee when the Yankees play the Rays on Saturday afternoon at the Stadium.

Andrew Rotondi of Bronx Pinstripes joined me to talk about A-Rod’s retirement announcement, Joe Girardi lying about playing A-Rod in his final four games, the A-Rod era, if the Yankees should have traded for A-Rod in hindsight and how A-Rod’s time with the Yankees will be remembered.

Podcast: John Jastremski

The WFAN host joined me to talk about the end of an era with Mark Teixeira and A-Rod announcing their retirement.

Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira

Three days after Mark Teixeira announced his time with the Yankees and as a Major League player will be coming to an end at the season, Alex Rodriguez announced that his time as a Yankee and as a Major League player will be coming to an end on Friday. In the past week, the Yankees have completely changed the franchise and closed a book on their most recent successful era.

WFAN host John Jastremski joined me to talk about this disastrous Yankees season, the end of an era with Mark Teixeira announcing his retirement and A-Rod being forced into retirement, the other big-money contracts that should be bought out or moved and what the future looks like for the Yankees.

Podcast: Brian Monzo

The WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer joined me to talk about the Subway Series and New York sports.

New York Yankees vs. New York Mets

After four days in Queens the Bronx, the 2016 Subway Series is over. And after four games, neither fan base has bragging rights following the 2-2 series split. The only bragging rights left to be had this season are in the postseason, and right now, it doesn’t look like either team will be heading there though the Mets have a much greater chance of doing so.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about the Subway Series and if it still has juice, the Jay Bruce trade, whether or not Jeurys Familia should be trusted, Mark Teixeira’s aggression at the plate and on the bases and why Yankees fans are happy he’s retiring and if the Mets are a playoff team. We also talked about the upcoming seasons for the Rangers and Giants.
