NY 500 IV

NY 500 #4
Man do I love this time of year! The Yankees and Mets are still in the playoff race, the Jets and Giants had interesting Sundays respectively. The Yankees after taking two out of three against the Tampa Bay Rays, are still two games back of the second wild card spot are playing very well, and their offense is on fire thanks to Gary Sanchez and Mark Teixeira this time around. The pitching has been surprisingly good for the supporting cast. Tanaka has shown again that he is one of the best pitchers in the game getting his thirteen win of the year after starting the season only getting one decision in his first ten starts. The New York Mets if the season ended today would make the playoffs by only a half game over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets come off a blow-out rubber game win, winning 10-3, getting Seth Lugo his fourth win. What both the Yankees and Mets are doing right now is just mind blowing due to the players that are on both rosters. It will be an extremely entertaining last couple of weeks of the MLB season.
For the New York NFL teams, polar opposite Sunday’s and emotions coming out of week one. First off, for the Giants, it was a tight, lucky, and well played win for the G-Men in Dallas, Texas. Welcome back to Victor Cruz, who salsa’d his way back into the league catching four balls for thirty-four yards and of course the score. The Giant defense, who cost them so many times last year, came up clutch, thanks to a blunder by Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams—who cut up field instead of running out of bounds on the last play of the game. So, for my many of my good friends that are huge Giant fans, rejoice for now, the defense and the money shoved that way, paid off tenfold against Dak Prescott. Up next is bonafided first ballet Hall of Famer Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. For the New York Jets (whom I briefly recapped yesterday after the game) here we go again Jets fans. The AFC East apart from the Patriots all lost yesterday, which is a nice silver lining for the devastated hearts of all Jets fans. For a game that the Jets had to have against the Bengals due the fact that Tom Brady is not playing for the first four games. So for Jets, this is a most have game on Thursday Night in Buffalo if the Jets still want to compete in AFC East division.

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
