NY 500 V

NY 500 #5
Well it was a roller coaster of weekend for New York Sports fans. Let’s start off in Buffalo where the New York Jets had an offensive explosion and looked like one of the league’s offenses and the defense took a step back. Eric Decker, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Quincy Enunwa, and Matt Fortè looked nothing short of amazing. This Jets team is looking really good and could quite possibly pull off a great road win in Kansas City next week. In Metlife Stadium on Sunday the New York Football Giants narrowly escaped the New Orleans Saints yesterday. The game was not played well at all on either side of the ball for both teams. If I was a Giant fan I would be concerned about the offense and the defense looks confused at times. Olivier Vernon has not shown up yet to play having only one assisted tackle yesterday and four total tackles last week in Dallas. I am not panicking over five tackles in two weeks, but the offensive lines on the Cowboys and New Orleans Saints have just manhandled Vernon and his huge contract. Matt Fortè has earned his contract in Buffalo Thursday night with three hundred yards and three touchdowns. So far the Giants have over paid for the defense with the offense is stalling as you would expect with a defensive coach.
Moving on to baseball where this roller coaster gets even more wild. The New York Mets took care of business with a bitter ending. The Mets swept the Minnesota Twins but they lost Jacob deGrom for the season most likely with discomfort in his elbow, and will need surgery to repair his ulnar nerve in his throwing elbow. The injury bug has bitten yet again in Queens and damages their chances once the Wild Card game comes around. The Mets will most likely make the playoffs due to the easiest schedule in all of baseball. Now on to the disappointing weekend for the New York Yankees. I could go on for thousands of words about the bombers, but I will say this… STOP PITCHING TO HANLEY RAMIREZ! Ramirez destroyed the Yankees this weekend hitting four homers in four games with two game winners one on Thursday walking off the Red Sox and an eighth inning bomb over the monster. Hanley looks like he is taking the crown from David Ortiz as the King of Yankee Killers. Not only did the Red Sox bring out the brooms against the Yanks, but they also destroyed the chances for the baby bombers to make the playoffs. The run for October is pretty much over as the Yankees are six games out of the division and now four games out of the Wild Card. Seattle and Detroit are red hot and closing in so, it was a great and unbelievable and amazing to watch but I bid the season ado.

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
