NY 500 XIII

NY 500 #13
*Sorry I didn’t post one these last week, as I said in the update post a couple weeks ago, I am in the middle of the jam packed part of the semester and balancing both this blog and the school work is difficult sometimes. I will continue to do the fresh starts day in and day out, that will not change*
A decent weekend of New York sports. The Rangers didn’t win at all this weekend, thanks to a 3-2 shootout loss last night at home to the Panthers. The Rangers are still the first overall team in scoring and are the third overall team as far as points in the NHL and lead the Metropolitan division by two points. The Rangers are still playing well and the limited times that I have watched the Rangers this season, I am happy with the play of the team. The Islanders only played one game over the weekend and lost to Pittsburgh 3-2 in a shootout.

 The Giants woke up at half time and took control of the game against the Bears and won 22-16. The Giants have now won five straight and are in the thick of the NFC East divisional race. The division that was the worst in the league last season, is playing arguably the best football over the course of the season. The Jets didn’t play and all the Jets fans had a stress free weekend that will be highlighted by a happy and care free Thanksgiving on Thursday. The Yankees and Mets haven’t had any signings and both managers still have their jobs.  

The Nets continued their losing ways with two losses to playoff teams in Oklahoma City and Portland. Brook Lopez is still playing very well and continues to keep the bet that he will be traded before the end of the season. The Knickerbockers beat Atlanta thanks to a typical Carmelo Anthony performance leading the team with 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. Hopefully the post-Thanksgiving weekend will be better for us New York sports fans for everyone involved.

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
