NY 500 X

NY 500 #10
A nice weekend in sports in the city of New York. The Jets and Giants both won in exciting fashion. Geno Smith is out for the season with an ACL injury and didn’t look horrible in his short action Sunday going 4/6 for ninety-five yards and a touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick managed the game and did everything he was supposed to do and walked out of the building with a nice win. Landon Collins in London absolutely dominated the game against the Rams. He had eight tackles that was tied for the lead in the game and also had two interceptions. He returned one all the way back, and it was nothing short of the Top Play of the weekend and deservedly so was in the top ten on Sportscenter. Collins ran through the entire Ram offense in the pick six, breaking poor offensive linemen ankles and ran over a couple Rams falling into the endzone. The Giants defense was the story of the game, ending the Rams offensive possessions with three straight interceptions. Jeff Fisher and the L.A. Rams are glad they got out of London alive and well after the defensive onslaught.
Moving onto hockey where the Rangers dominated the weekend with back to back wins on Saturday and Sunday against the Caps and Coyotes in respective days. The Rangers are playing as well as you can this early in the season. The Rangers are fourth in the league in scoring and thirteenth in penalty killing (which plagued them last season) and are 4-2 playing really good hockey. The Islanders are 3-3, eighth in scoring, and first in penalty killing and are a decent team in the early part of the season. The Islanders also had a good weekend, winning on Friday against the Coyotes and Wild. The Rangers beat the Islanders in the season opener in the Garden and the game of hockey is very good, and if you are an unhappy NFL fan, go watch your local hockey team.
Lastly, since this NY 500 is very late, I will talk about the Knicks season opener in Cleveland. The self-renowned “Superteam” got absolutely stumped on ring night in Cleveland by the defending champs. Melo scored nineteen points, with Porzingis having sixteen points and seven boards. Derrick Rose didn’t get injured surprisingly scored seventeen points in his Knicks debut. This Knicks team will not be able to compete with the top dog in the East but played a nice style of basketball, and just like the Golden State Warriors, will have their struggles and have to find their brand of basketball. Knick fans calm down, this team is a good team, and will make the playoffs as a middle of the pack team. The Nets open in Barclays center tonight against the Boston Celtics. Let’s have another great weekend in New York sports in the best time of year

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
