Portada del episodio It Got Late Early For These Two MLB Teams

Descripción

It may still be early in the Major League Baseball season, but for two teams, to borrow a phrase from Yogi Berra, it got late early as the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies fired their respective managers. Managers may not be the ones putting the rosters together (that falls to the head of baseball operations) but when those players don't perform, it's more often than not the managers who take the blame. Mets fans, frustrated by their own team's won-loss record, might have been hoping to see recently fired Alex Cora be hired by the team.   Two things happened. The Phillies called Cora first, and Alex turned them down basically saying he wants to spend time with his kids on the beach in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, Anthony Volpe is expected to come off the injured list and subsequent minor league rehab assignment, but there's more to his return to the team than meets the eye.

With A Game 3 Knicks Loss, the NBA Finals Got A Lot More Interesint

If the cliche that a playoff series doesn't get interesting until the home team loses, then there should be three times the interest in the NBA Finals right now because the home team has lost in each of the first three games so far. On one hand, it's not all that surprising. Despite the fact that the Knicks won Game 1 easily and managed to corral a win in Game 2, the Spurs didn't lose three games in a row all year.  So faced with a loss that would have put them down three games to none, San Antonio found a way to neutralize the New York offense down the stretch of the fourth quarter and take Game 3. In addition to Knicks/Spurs, we're also talking Mike Trout.  Does Angels ownership owe it to him to trade him to a contending team? Follow us on Social Media for more content.

It's A Huge Mistake To Underestimate the Knicks

The NBA Finals begin tonight with the New York Knicks on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. Despite the fact that the Knicks are on a dominant 11-0 playoff run, their detractors will tell you that they didn't face strong teams. We're not buying what the detractors are selling, especially not after how the Knicks buried their three postseason opponents in the final game of each series and ON THE ROAD! And with the MLB trade deadline coming in about 8 weeks, the Mets still don't know if they will be buyers or sellers.   What is complicating their decision-making process is trying to figure out who is compiling the roster and who is evaluating the talent. Hint - if it's David Stearns, the Mets will probably NOT make the right decisions come August.   Follow us on Social Media for more content.

There's Just No Stopping the New York Knicks

The New York Knicks aren't just beating teams.   They're demoralizing them. Currently on an 11-0 run as they await the winner of the NBA's Western Conference series between the Spurs and the Thunder, the Knicks closed out their playoff rounds against the Hawks, 76ers, and Cavaliers with series-clinching wins of 51, 30, and 37 points respectively ALL ON THE ROAD. Granted, the crowds in Philadelphia and Cleveland made it sound as if these games were in Madison Square Garden, but the Knicks have made it abundantly clear that it is championship or bust. Meanwhile, that sound you heard was Jim Monaghan jumping off the Mets bandwagon (gee, that was quick), and with 40% of the MLB season in the books, the Yankees' biggest need is probably a closer. Could there be one available in Boston? Follow us on Social Media for more content.

Look Who's Jumping On the Mets Bandwagon!

Remember that agonizing 12-game losing streak a couple of weeks ago? Jim Monaghan was strongly suggesting that the Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza, saying that he was in over his head and had lost the team (Jim might want to stick with coaching high school baseball and leave the MLB stuff to the big boys). Fast forward to mid-May where the Mets have won 4 of their last 5 series and have a chance over the next 13 games to get themselves into Wild Card consideration. Meanwhile, the Yankees look like world beaters one week and then can't get out of their own way the next. And the Knicks...can't forget about them. Follow us on Social Media for more content.

Go New York Go! The Knicks Are CRUISING!!!

Any fears that Knicks fans might have had going into the recent playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers were quickly put to rest with a convincing sweep in the 4-game series. We're talking a level of dominance that even the most diehard of Knicks fans probably didn't see coming, including a 30-point victory in Game 4 in Philadelphia. You might be tempted to start comparing this New York team to the 1970's-era Knicks that brought home a couple of championships to Madison Square Garden, with Jalen Brunson arguably the face of New York sports at the moment. The Mets and Yankees meet up at Citi Field this weekend with more questions surrounding the managerial longevity of Carlos Mendoza. And it may only be mid-May, but the San Francisco Giants appear to be ready to go into fire-sale mode. Follow us on Social Media for more content.
