NY 500 VII

NY 500 #7
This the time of year, where us New York sport fans get excited each and every day for what is on our tv. For the baseball fans it is a separating time for the city. Usually the Yankees are the ones going into the playoffs hot and ready for a title chase. This year the bombers are sitting this year out, while the Mets are looking to go back to the World Series and actually compete in this year’s series. I have to say to my good friends that are Mets fans, I am happy for you, but I will not route for the Mets even though they are a New York team. The Mets have denied the odds with all the injuries that they have had this season that include David Wright, Matt Harvey, and Neil Walker. At one point in the season, the entire starting infield was one the shelf. The injuries may be too much for the Metropolitans even in the Wild Card game. I wish them luck and hope for some good playoff games from every team involved.
For the hockey teams, it is preseason and doesn’t really matter. I am excited for the start of Ranger hockey, and hope for better season than last. The Giants don’t play until later tonight and it should be a really good game. The New York Jets imploded once again, and snatched defeat in the jaws of victory. The Jets were on a game tying drive which was halted by Richard Sherman and one of the best defenses in the NFL. I really like Pete Carroll and how he runs his team, but this week I don’t like what his team did to mine. The Jets are in a tough place and the schedule with the Pittsburgh Steelers are waiting the big ketchup bottle in Pittsburgh. Geno Smith might have a resurgence in a Jets uniform due to the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick. The play by Fitz has been so incredible awful and straight up unacceptable. I said it yesterday and I will say it today, you have to at least give Geno Smith half of the first team snaps and have him at the ready if Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to play the way he is.

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
