Day 123

Fresh Start_123: The weekend TV guide
I will enjoy this weekend with family and my comfortable couch because I will not have to do much to get some incredible games from both the NFL and the NBA on Christmas day. Starting at Noon EST and ending at about 11:30 EST or so I will have a selection of games you almost never get any time of year. With Christmas falling on Sunday this year the NBA had a tough scheduling predicament to make sure they get the highest ratings they could for their annual Christmas day games. Usually the best game of the day is around 5:30 EST that way the most amount of eyeballs can be in a given household to watch the “Prime-Time game” at 5:30. Instead this year, the Finals rematch of Golden State and Cleveland is on at 2:30 EST which provides a perfect Segway to a crucial divisional matchup between the Steelers and Ravens. After that, you get another divisional battle for a playoff spot with Denver and Kansas City playing at 8:30. If you aren’t completely satisfied with sports you can turn on Lakers and Clippers after the Sunday Night game for the NFL gets over, but with all the excitement, family time, and food I doubt many people from the East Coast will be up to watch that game.

I was curious how the NBA would finagle the schedule around to fit in the NFL’s Week 16 matchups. Christmas day is always and will always belong to the NBA in the sports world, and it is nice that the NFL has setup two hopefully good games. The best games of the days don’t conflict with each other and that makes it easy on the person controlling the remote on Christmas day. So, may Santa Claus bring you what you ask for, drink some egg nog, and kick back and watch some great basketball and football games on Sunday. Merry Christmas everyone!

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
