MIKE Francesa is such a relentless­ly transparen­t jackass. Naturally, he’s not going to disclose the number of subscriber­s to his app — if it’s doing poorly.

At the start of Sunday’s second half, Eli Manning was forced to change helmets. Reader Mark Dantonio: “Think he told the equipment man to make sure it’s marked ‘Game Used’?”

The YES broadcast team of former catcher John Flaherty and former pitcher Al Leiter made for an easy, breezy, pay-attention team throughout the Yankees-Twins series this week — even if Flaherty went Mike Mayock on us when he said, “[Minnesota catcher] Mitch Garver is a good thrower of the baseball.”
