Keefe To The City

Beginning on Wednesday, the Rangers will play three games over four days and five games in eight days. Their opponents will be the Penguins, Flyers, Bruins, Sabres and Red Wings. The Rangers could get Adam Fox back next week, and hopefully, during these challenging eight days, Mika Zibanejad will break out of his scoring slump.

The Rangers wrapped up their five-game, season-long road trip with a 3-2 overtime win over the Jets in Winnipeg to go undefeated on the West Coast and in Western Canada. Tom Dianora of Blueshirt Banter joined me to talk about the wildly successful road trip and the state of the Rangers as they return home.

The Rangers left for their season-long, five-game road trip after a dismal performance against Nashville at home. Unlike past seasons, the Rangers are racking up West Coast and Western Canada wins, having won won their first three games with two to go. Chris Lopresti of WFAN and SNY joined me to talk about the first-place Rangers and their impressive start to the season.

The Rangers opened their season with a 5-1 win over the Sabres in Buffalo. Every Rangers fan should be buzzing after the best 60-minute effort the Blueshirts have provided in years. I know I am. So is Brian Monzo, and he joined me to talk about the impressive season-opening win.

The Yankees are three games under .500. They are in last place. They have lost seven straight games. They have won one series since June 25. Somehow, their manager thinks they will turn the season around.

The Yankees have four games left until the trade deadline: three against the Orioles and one against the Rays. With 60 games to go, the Yankees are still 2 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot and still need a starting left fielder, which they have needed since last season.

Yankees fan Bobby Milone joined me to talk about the impending trade deadline, who the Yankees should target and what they should be willing to give up.

The Yankees continue to be a mess. The mirage that was them sweeping a historically-bad team in the Royals over the weekend was followed by a humiliating 9-3 loss to the Mets at home.

The Yankees lost again to the Angels, and this time they only managed to score one run on two hits. Aaron Boone was as annoyed as ever with the media questioning his players' lack of production, and the Yankees as a whole are in a really bad place.

The Yankees opened the "second half" of the season with an embarrassing series loss to the NL-worst Rockies. The offense couldn't solved Austin Gomber or Chase Anderson and their nearly-7.00 ERAs, and now the Yankees are in last place in the AL East and two games out of the last playoff spot.

After the recap, Andrew Rotondi of Bronx Pinstripes joined me to talk about the state of the Yankees with now 68 games remaining.

The Yankees don't know when their superstar and only productive bat will return. Their center fielder doesn't want to come off the injured list. Their prized free-agent starting pitcher hasn't thrown a pitch this season. Their five veteran bats making a combined $95.7 million can't field. They are now 3-6 against the White Sox, Red Sox and Mets since last week and the team's owner called them a "championship-caliber" team just a few days ago.
