Day 37

Fresh Start_37: Tebow Time
If you haven’t heard by now, Tim Tebow played his first game of organized baseball since his high school days. Tebow didn’t just make an impact he made his mark in the game. His first pitch, first at-bat Tebow hit a homerun to left center. This like everything else in Tebow’s athletic career. This is up there with the playoff win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, or the National Championship when he was at the University of Florida.
This is unlike Michael Jordan when he quit basketball to play baseball. Tebow had no career in the NFL and was doing he doing really well on the SEC Network. Now I will not blow this out of proportion because it is Single A baseball, and it is only one game. It is a nice story and whether or not a twenty-nine-year-old will make it past Single A ball. It is highly unlike that Tebow will make it to the Major Leagues or even make it to Triple A. What I like about it is, it adds to the Hollywood story that is Tim Tebow, while also qualifying him for the Most Interesting Man in the World. Tebow is no doubt one of the most interesting personalities that go by the way side do to his athletic resume. We all know about the Heisman Trophy and the National Championship, as well as the long throwing motion, and the NFL Network special. The Playoff win and read option phenonium was fun for a while, and seeing the success of a college football superstar. The Jets signing was where it all went wrong. As a Jet fan I didn’t like the signing or understand it. I would say it was the Jets and the locker room at the time was the reason Tebow’s NFL career came to an end. Yes, his throwing motion and accuracy where a huge component in the NFL teams determining that he won’t play. The spotlight that Tebow has been so used to for his whole life, got too bright in the Big Apple and made everything else in his NFL career spiral out of control. I am happy for Tebow and am interested to see how far he will go.

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
