Day 198

Fresh Start_198: So long good friend
The news coming out of the NFL hits way too close to home. Former New York Jet wide receiver Brandon Marshall is signing a 2-year $12 Million contract with the New York Giants. The best Jet receiver in a long time is switching from green to blue in New York and this should be a slap in the face to all Jet fans. Not so much with Marshall because he will go where the money goes, but the Giants just made an entire generation of Jet fans strengthen the Jet-Giant rivalry for years to come.

Personally, this just makes me sick to my stomach because of how soon Brandon Marshall is signing with the Giants. This gives Eli Manning just an incredible amount of talent on offense, especially with the running back class in free agency and in the draft. The Giants now have one of the best teams in the NFL. With the NYPD (New York Pass Defense), a strong defensive line, and now Odell Beckham Jr. Sterling Sharpe, and Brandon Marshall I cannot sit here and say that the Giants don’t have a strong chance on bringing home another Super Bowl. Eli can thank Giants management for giving him another chance for a Super Bowl late in his career.

But, to Brandon Marshall, as much as it is going to hurt seeing him stay and New York to play for the Giants. It will hurt every time that he catches a ball, but best of luck to Brandon Marshall and the New York Giants. I do not hate you completely but just for the current moment. And to every Giant fan; LET’S GO JETS!

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
