Don't forget about Baseball

The 2014 World Series Tonight 8:07 EST on Fox


Many people might have forgot that baseball is still going on, with the long break that the majors has taken so they wouldn't have to compete for viewers with football over the weekend. What baseball should have done was schedule Game 1 for this past Saturday at like 4 pm or something like that. The college football games this past week were absolute blow outs, and it was every single nationally wide broadcast-ed game. MLB could have got the game over before the Irish and Florida State squared off at 8:30 EST on Saturday night. They could have Game 2 last night because not many people are interested in two teams that aren't relevant in the NFL today. Anyway it is a huge ace off tonight in Game 1 and thanks to Mike Trout, Derek Jeter, and the AL All-Star team the Royals have home field in the fall classic. I am extremely excited to see whats in store because I believe that this is the greatest postseason games and talent wise that baseball has seen in a long time. Every night would go above and beyond what happen the night before. James Shields is on the Bump tonight for the Royals.  Big Game James is 1-0 with a  5.80 postseason ERA this year. In the other dugout the Giants are sending Madison Bumgarner who is 2-0 with a 1.43 postseason ERA in 31 and two thirds innings this year. Two very good pitchers with two very good pitches and both now how to pitch in Big Games. Bumgarner has the upper hand pitching in the World Series twice before. Once in 2010 and again in 2012. The Giants who are building a mini dynasty going to the Fall Classic ever other year, and winning every other year for the past 5 years. Look for both MVP's of the Championship series Bumgarner and Cain to have a big impact on their respective teams and the series as a whole. I honestly don't have a clue who is going to win the Series this year both teams are well rounded and play their way of baseball extremely well. If I had to pick I would have to pick the Royals in 7. I say this because they are the hottest team in the game with the best defense and pitching and that's why they have got this far and will continue until the World Series trophy is sitting in the Big K.

Don't forget to watch the Fall Classic on Fox and also follow on your way out!

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
