New York Mets: Brutally Honest Outfield Report Card
The 2017 New York Mets outfield came into the season with high expectations, as the group’s power was considered the backbone of the team’s lineup. Sluggers Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson, and Jay Bruce were expected to hit home runs and play adequate defense in the field. Now as the playoffs begin, Mets fans will see both Granderson and Bruce playing for other organizations (the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians, respectively) as they attempt to win a World Series ring.
New York Mets: Brutally Honest Starting Rotation Report Card
The 2017 season turned out to be one of the uglier ones in recent memory for the New York Mets. Underperformance on the field, in the trainer’s room, and in the front office all contributed to overall dysfunction for a team with playoff aspirations. That coupled with the fact that the team’s opening day roster faced some serious turnover throughout the season was a recipe for failure.
The Mane Man: Jacob deGrom Debuts Unfamiliar Look
You know what they say … hair today, gone by postseason! Wait … is that right? Because that’s what New York Mets starter Jacob deGrom just did. He shed his signature look, the curly brown locks, and then had the nerve to actually look GOOD without them. So rude. The 29-year-old went 15-10 this season with his hair so what will he do now that his locks are deGone? And how will fans recognize him on the street this offseason? It’s truly amazing how hair can truly make a person look entirely different.
Mets GM Sandy Alderson Says He'd 'Terminate' Anonymous Front Office Sources
Sandy Alderson isn’t happy with Newsday‘s Marc Carig—or any of the anonymous sources, both in the front office and the clubhouse who spoke with him—and trashed manager Terry Collins in the process. “I was disappointed with the content as well as the timing,” Alderson told reporters, per NJ.com’s Matt Ehalt.
New York Rangers Blueshirt Beat 9/29/17: Rangers Trim Training Camp Roster
The New York Rangers finished the preseason with a 3-2-1 record and have forced general manager Jeff Gorton and head coach Alain Vigneault with some difficult decisions to make. Those decisions are in and they have cut their roster to 25. There were certainly some surprises, as Vinni Lettieri and Boo Nieves were both cut. But the Rangers really liked what they saw from Paul Carey, who will be filling in for the injured Jesper Fast.
Three Reasons For Expanding the MLB Wild Card Game
Believe it or not, the sixth season featuring the MLB Wild Card Game will take place next week. Baseball has had it’s collection of walk-offs, complete games and high drama in the one game spectacle thus far. There’s no doubt it adds an exciting, do or die element to the game. However, the game comes with it’s flaws. Is a single game elimination really a fair and accurate way of determining which of two teams is superior?
New York Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka Utterly Dominates Jays In Win
Masahiro Tanaka made his final tuneup before the postseason and he showed the New York Yankees he’s ready for it, as he registered a new career-high in strikeouts in a shutout win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old has a solid mix of his splitter and slider working on Friday afternoon and punched out 15 over seven innings of work while holding the Jays to just three hits.
Final Yankees Series Has Immense Importance Beyond An AL East Title
The regular season is winding down and this year already has a far better outcome than last year. The New York Yankees have, at least, punched a ticket to the postseason, with the chance to potentially steal the American League East. While those chances are incredibly slim, the Yankees have all the pieces to make that happen. The Boston Red Sox have to take on the Houston Astros. The Yankees are coming in hot. It all has to go just as planned.
Russell Westbrook Gets Paid While Dirk Nowitzki Gets Donations
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the deal starts with the 2018-19 season and is the biggest guaranteed contract in NBA history, six years and $233 million through the 2022-23 season. There is a player option on the 2022-23 season also. “When you play in Oklahoma City you play in front of the best fans in the world, I’m looking forward to bringing everything I’ve got, for them, this city and for this organization. WHY NOT?” he said in a statement.
David Wright Rips 'Cowardly' New York Mets Teammates
“Cowardly” is what David Wright called the players on the New York Mets who decided to anonymously trash manager Terry Collins to Newsday‘s Marc Carig earlier this week. “It was cowardly, in my opinion,” Wright told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News before Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. “I have been very fortunate in my career. I haven’t had too many gripes, but when I did, I went and talked to Terry or whoever the manager is.
Meet Madison Square Garden: Paul Carey Gets Well-Deserved Taste of Rangers Lifestyle
The New York Rangers are ready to put out a solid team for opening night. Paul Carey might be one of those guys making the list come Oct. 5. Paul Carey has played most of his hockey career in the minor leagues, most recently when he was a member of the Washington Capitals organization. He skated for their AHL affiliate, the Hersey Bears, for two seasons. Last season for Hershey, he appeared in 55 games and registered 24 goals with 31 assists for 55 points.
Rangers' Ryan McDonagh, Yankees' Tyler Austin Are Real Life Superheroes
It’s amazing what superpowers children truly believe some professional sports athletes have. That belief brought on some fantastic smiles at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Thursday. Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh was joined by Tyler Austin of the Yankees as the pair made a special delivery of Starlight Brave Gowns to children in the pediatric unit, made possible through The Joy In Childhood Foundation.
New York Mets Would Be Making A Mistake By Extending Jacob deGrom
Jacob deGrom is a heck of a pitcher, arguably one of the best not only in the National League, but all of baseball. He’s also 29 years old and under team control for three more seasons. Which makes a report from FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman, who says the Mets “are expected to explore the possibility of a multi-year deal this winter for [their] ace” all the more puzzling. And it begs the question: Why? Yes, deGrom has been one of the few bright spots in a disastrous 2017 season for the Amazin’s.
