  • Tong Bounces Back: Mets Beat Padres 6–1 as Alonso & Nimmo Go Deep; 2-Game WC Lead

    The Mets handled business on a Thursday afternoon at Citi Field, beating the Padres 6–1 behind a sharp rebound from rookie Jonah Tong and home runs from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo. Tong struck out eight over five innings and allowed just one run as New York clinched the series and widened its cushion for the NL's final Wild Card spot. Alonso homered in the first (his fourth straight game with a HR) and later added a sac fly, while Nimmo broke it open with a three-run shot in the third. With the win, the Mets are 79–74—two games up in the Wild Card race—with nine games remaining.

  • NFL WEEK 2 PREVIEW

    • Buffalo is coming off a wild comeback vs. the Ravens, winning 41-40 after erasing a 15-point 4th quarter deficit.
    • The Bills are dealing with injury issues up front. Ed Oliver is ruled out.
    • Rookie T.J. Sanders and maybe other young defenders will need to step up.
    • The Jets, despite a narrow loss in Week 1, showed life: a strong running game (Breece Hall), good yards, a dynamic offense under Justin Fields.
    • Betting lines favor Buffalo by about 6-7 points. The over/under is moderate (~47-48).
    • Key matchup: how well can the Jets' front line & secondary slow down Josh Allen, both pass and run. And how will Buffalo fill the gap missing Oliver against a Jets run attack.
    • Prediction: Seems likely Bills win a tight one but Jets cover, maybe final score around Bills 27, Jets 20 / Bills 24-21.
    • Giants @ Cowboys

      • Both teams enter 0-1. Giants stumbled vs. the Commanders (21-6 loss) with anemic offense.
      • Russell Wilson is the starter for now, despite criticism and pressure, with rookie QB Jaxson Dart looming if things don't improve.
      • Giants defense, especially the edge rushers (Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter), must impose themselves. Cowboys O-line has shown weaknesses, especially in pass protection. Giants could exploit that.
      • Cowboys are also looking for improvement after a close loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Home opener helps.
      • Cowboys favored by ~4.5-6.5 points. Giants want to avoid 0-2; plus the history leans heavily toward Dallas.

      • Mets Fall Out Of Playoff Spot With 8th Straight Loss

        After Saturday's heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the Rangers, the New York Mets have now dropped eight straight games — their worst stretch since 2018. Rookie Brandon Sproat threw six strong, scoreless innings in his Citi Field debut, and Juan Soto smashed his 40th home run of the season, but the bullpen faltered late. Edwin Díaz couldn't close it out, giving up the go-ahead hit in the 9th to Wyatt Langford. With the loss, the Mets' lead in the NL wild-card race has evaporated: they now trail the Giants in the loss column and no longer control their postseason destiny. We break down what went wrong, look at the standings and scenarios, and assess what's left for this roster with the regular season winding down.

        • NFL Week One Recap: Jets & Giants Fall, Overreactions, and Who Should Worry

          Week One of the NFL season is in the books — and it brought drama, questions, and classic overreactions. On this episode of Locked Up Sports: New York Sports Talk, we break down the very different vibes for the Jets and Giants after opening losses.

          The Giants' offense once again sputters, failing to score a touchdown in a season opener for the third straight year, sparking immediate questions about the quarterback situation. Meanwhile, the Jets showed promise in a close battle with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, but still walk away with an 0-1 record.

          Around the league, we separate fact from fiction: Who should be worried after Week One? Who should feel optimistic? And which “overreactions” might actually be real warning signs?

          If you're a Jets fan, Giants fan, or just an NFL diehard, this is the perfect breakdown of Week One
