NY 500 IX

NY 500 #9
This is the weekend that happens every year, where the focus for New York sports fans switch their focus to football, hockey, and basketball. The Nets and Knicks are in the middle of their preseason, while the Rangers have officially started their season going 1-1 last week and have a game later today against a tough San Jose Sharks team. The leader in goals is Chris Kreider with two and new Ranger Mika Zibanejad leads in assists. From the few minutes that I have watched the Rangers, they have looked like an improvement from last year’s team, which lacked speed and play making ability. I will unfortunately not be able to watch tomorrow night’s game because I have class. I will also be late to watch the Jets game tomorrow for the same reason.

For the Giants, they have just picked up a huge win against the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants needed to get this game to still be in the hunt for the NFC East. Odell Beckham Jr. had an incredible game grabbing eight balls for two hundred and twenty-two yards and two touchdowns. OBJ shows again how explosive he can be, and how he can dictate the game with nothing any defensive player can do. With that said, his emotions still ALMOST cost the Giants the ballgame getting an un-sportsman like penalty giving Joe Flacco one last chance to win the game. The Jets play tonight and I am still confident that the Jets can pull out a win, and this game for the Jets becomes a most win, like the Giants, to keep their hopes alive in the division. The Dolphins Bills, and Patriots all won on Sunday and if the Jets want any shot at the playoffs, they have to play the game of the season tonight in Arizona. No Yankee or Met news regarding the teams this week, but possible some to come in the following weeks with the MLB playoffs winding down.

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
