New Knicks coach David Fizdale prides himself on being a “players’ coach” and James Dolan needed one to grow his young squad. A match made in MSG heaven. But Fiz wants to keep in contact with his team over the offseason and plans to visit franchise player Kristaps Porzingis a few times in Europe on the company dollar. Dolan’s not pleased, and is threatening to eliminate N.Y. Liberty Key Chain Night to offset the costs.

Sing it! “Baby, if you’ve ever wondered. Wondered whatever became of me. I’m living on the mound in Cincinnati. Cincinnati W-K-Har-vey.” Remember this guy? The Cincv Kid had made two starts since parting ways with the Mets, receiving mixed reviews. Reds have made no promises and Matt is pitching to extend his career. Pirates are in town. 20 units on the Reds.

Solid start for Jason Vargas, finally. Pitched a two-hitter over five innings and was removed after his pitch count spilled into the 80’s. Mets won their fourth in row, blanking the Fish 2-0. Victory cuts our losses to -662 nortons.
