Day 32

Fresh Start_32: Chris Bosh
Earlier today the Associated Press got word that Chris Bosh did not pass his physical to participate in the Heat’s training camp due to the blood clots that he has been dealing with for about two years now. Bosh who despite the blood clots might be one of the best players in the NBA. Considering the clots and the inability to be on the floor for his team. It is taking its toll on Bosh; not just with his health but with his physiological state. With Dywane Wade now gone in Chicago, Bosh is the only remaining player from the days of the “Big Three”. Bosh is an All-Star when healthy and one of the best stretched power forwards in the game today.
What Chris Bosh has to think about now, with thirteen seasons under his waistband, he has to consider retirement. He has had a good career including two rings, nine All-Star appearances and was the best power forward for a period of time during his career. He earned both of the contracts he got from the Heat. I feel bad for Bosh and how his career is coming to end. I never wish an injury on anyone and certainly not an injury that endangers someone’s life the way that the blood clots have for Chris Bosh. Bosh took to Facebook Live to have a Q&A with fans and named it “Chris Bosh rebuilt.” It is an interesting turn for Bosh—being someone in his position and turning to a live video format instead of holding a press conference. It shows the way that media is moving and possibly might see athletes do something like Bosh did on Facebook.
Looking at basketball he would finish his career today with an average of 19.1 points per, 8 rebounds per, and a block per. Bosh finished a 33.5% from three-point land, which is three points better than the league average last year. I hope Bosh can come back from this for good and play at least one more season. But I would advise Chris Bosh to not push this and hurt himself more than basketball ever can. So, Chris Bosh I wish you a speedy healthy recovery and hopefully I can see you on the floor in the near future.

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
