The Yankees lost two of three to Washington, but who cares? At least some of the prospects are up.

In this episode we get back into some MMA after going a few months without discussing it here on the show. And UFC Boston this past weekend was very cool! There were some great fights and excellent performances on the main card that I want to discuss, from the O'Malley KO, to the Weili title defense, to Ian Machado Garry's victory over Magny. And what is next for Machado Garry? Can he really beat Wonderboy? Also, why does everyone still hate Aljo? NYY-NYK-MMA Question of the Day: With his win on...

Need a break from the Yankees so we're back with my favorite team in NYC (unless they start losing now too). The Knicks have had a quiet but adequate offseason so far with some marginal moves. Obi is gone, DiVincenzo is a Knick, Josh Hart has been extended, Thibs is still around, and a couple of Knicks are in the FIBA World Cup. All that and more in this Knicks update!

The Yankees had a massive opportunity to take three of four from Houston and walk away feeling confident about themselves. It turns out they continued to be the .500 team they are as they finished the series off with a split. We have lots to discuss, ranging from the rotation concerns, the delusion in the clubhouse, a possible Luke Voit reunion, the German & Rizzo stories, Hal Steinbrenner handcuffing Cashman, Jake Bauers' under-the-radar season, and more!

The Yankees swept the terrible Royals in the Bronx this past weekend. They did exactly what they needed to do, so my outlook hasn't changed much yet.

If this is not rock bottom, I might start watching cricket. The Yankees lost another series against a team they needed to beat, as they enter the All-Star break one game out of last place at 49-22. This team is bad. The Yankees fired Dillon Lawson. We discuss what that means, Boone, the offensive philosophy, Rodon's return, Domingo's early hook, and a lot more in this one!

The Yankees had a massive chance to gain ground on Baltimore. They took the first two games with big hits from Bader. And then came the last two where the bullpen imploded, and Luis Severino continued to bust. In this episode we straight up rant for 20 minutes. I'll probably look back at this and maybe realize it was harsh, but not really at the same time. This is not a serious contender. Boring. Old. Flat. And uninspiring most of all.

This was on it's way to being a very solid sweep against the M's, or even a decent two of three had the Yankees at least lost tonight's game with grace, instead of insulting their fanbase. But in peak modern Yankee form, they did. Domingo German gave up ten runs in three innings while the infield kicked the ball around the diamond (again).
