The Yankees didn't "Work in the Rain" on Seinfeld Night

  When it rains it pours! The rain soaked away 38 minutes in the Bronx tonight and continued in the 9 th and 10 th inning as the Boston Red Sox storm back at the last possible second to steal the opener of a weekend set against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Masataka Yoshida hit the game tying blast into the right field seats in the 9 th and Ceddanne Rafaela hit the eventual game winning home run into monument park in right center field in the 10 th . This loss comes at the worst possible time given the fact that Nestor Cortes was sharp throwing six innings and only surrounding a solo shot by Romy Gonzalez in the 5 th inning. This coming off the heels of poor starts from every starting pitcher over the weekend. Luke Weaver danced out of trouble to set the Yankee bats up for some insurance in the bottom of the 8 th they ultimately needed but couldn’t secure. With this loss, the Bombers have now dropped four in a row, and five consecutive home games, falling to 54-36, a...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...

Juan Soto Returns And Gerrit Cole gets closer to Cy Young Caliber

  Juan Soto and the New York Yankees responded yesterday afternoon in Toronto with an 8-1 drubbing against the last place Toronto Blue Jays. After being inserted into the lineup at the very last minute, Juan Soto got the Bomber bats going with a single in his first at-bat, followed up by Aaron Judge’s 31 st home run of the season off the batter’s eye in center field. Soto returned after missing just his 5 th game all season and was his usual MVP candidate self. “[My hand] was a little swollen, but I think it was in a spot that I could help my team. I was feeling good warming up, and I know I had a pretty good chance to win a ball game today, so I went for it.” Soto had that first inning single, and two walks in his unexpected return. Even though the dynamic duo got the scoring started, they weren’t the stars of the afternoon. That came from two bench players that because of the recent injury troubles have gotten the chance to play. The first, in his best game in his young career ...
