Jets Fans Will Suffer

The NY Jets completed a woeful 0-4 preseason last night. There performance during training camp was one of the most disappointing in recent years. The Jets did score last night on a Greg McElroy TD pass for the only touch down of the four game preseason. 

Jets fans have suffered mightily since the days of Joe Willie and this years team will add to their frustration.This Jets teams is pitifully bad, coached by a big mouth flash in the pan. Look for the Ryan era to come to a sudden crash after the Jets finish last in a 4 team division as the Jets go 4-12.

Mets Winning Ways Continue

The NY Mets won for their forth time in as many games last night as Matt Harvey won his 3rd Major League game against 3 losses. Once again Harvey contributed to the Mets win with his bat, glove and arm.  Harvey singled to left recording his 3 RBI of his embryonic Mets career and fielded his position flawlessly as he pounded the plate with strike after strike.

Lucas Duda hit his 13th HR a line drive that push the Mets ahead of the Phillies in their 3-2 win and he saved the victory with a fine catch in left field. The Mets win tied them with the Phillies for 3rd place and the players are determined to finish ahead of the Phillies and Marlins.

The dream lives as the Mets go for 5 in a row in a matinee with Jon Neise going against Kile Kendrick.

Mets On A Little Roll

The Mets pulled out a hard fought win last night over the home standing Phillies 9-5 in extra innings with 4 runs in the top of the 10th. The Mets pounded the Phillies for 14 hits on their way to their 3rd win in row. The boys from Flushing showed character with the win, coming back from a 4 -1 deficit as Ryan Howard accounted for all the runs with a grand slam off of Chris Young. DWright was in the middle of the Mets scoring outburst with 2 Hits, 2 Runs and 2 RBI. The first five batters in the Mets line up accounted for 10 of the teams 14 hits.
The Mets bull pen led by Bobby Parnell who was lights out, gave the Mets the chance to stay in the game with 4 scoreless innings of work.

Tonight young Matt Harvey goes for his 3rd win against 3 losses against Tyler Cloyd who was 15 - 1 at AAA and who is making his major league debut. Lets see is the Mets can keep the train moving forward with 4 in a row.

Is a miracle taking place?  LGM

So What About the Jets

I watched the Jets preseason game this past Saturday and came away shaking my head wondering just who will score for the Green and White this season. Mark Sanchez looked like Mark Sanchez and there lays the problem.

Sanchez took the Jets to the playoffs his first two years with the team because of a fabulous defense and an offense that ran the ball and ran the ball eating the clock and the time the other team's offense had to spend on the field. Saturday their was no rhyme or reason for what ever the Jets did on offense. There was no flow, no rhythm and the Jets went another half with the starters getting shut out of the end zone again by the Panthers defense.

The once heralded ground game never got going as Shaun Green needs huge holes to get to daylight and the offensive line just does not provide that. Without a running game Sanchez and the Jets are going nowhere fast. There just is not enough scoring power on an anemic offense to generate a sustained drive for the NY Jets.

Mets Go For 3 in a Row

Jeremy Hefner pitched well enough to win yesterday at Citi Field and if not for a managerial brain freeze and a subsequent misadventure by Lucas Duda he would have. Terry Collins could have replaced the clogging Duda with a much better outfielder in Jason Bay, but it seems that thought slipped the skippers mind. The Mets won on the second homer of the day for Ike Davis a walk off in the bottom of the ninth.
The Mets starters have a era hovering around 2.0 but sadly, timely hitting has vaporized into thin air and the Mets scoring continues to be an issue for the struggling team. Tomorrow the Mets open a 3 game series against the Phillies with Chris Young going against the now 3rd place team from Philadelphia.

The Volunteers Will Surprise

The 2012 edition of the University of Tennessee Football Team will surprise many people most which will be the rival coaches in the SEC. The Volunteers took a hit last week when star wide out Da'Rick Rogers was suspended from the team, but luckily the Vols are as deep as any team at the receiving corp. Look for Bray and company to put up points and be very stingy on defense. Vols go 9-2 with losses against Alabama and USC,


Lets Go Vols

The Volunteer Defense

The Volunteers defense last year finished 28^th in the nation. In the SEC that means a 6-7 record. To beat Alabama, Florida, Georgia you need a world class defense and the Volunteers just may have one of the best defensive teams not only in the country but in the SEC.

The Vols under new defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri, who was Alabama’s linebacker coach the past three years have gone to a 3-4 scheme with the front 3 anchored by Maurice Couch 6’2 299, massive Daniel McCullers 6’6 390 and Daniel Hood 6’4 295. 

The D line will be backed up by 4 of the most active linebackers in Tennessee recent Vol history Herman Lathers (75 tackles), Curt Maggitt (3^rd team freshman All American), AJ Johnson (1st team freshman All American) and Jaques Smith. 

The defensive backs are led by Prentiss Waggner, Eric Gordon, Marsalis Teague and Justin Coleman. All four backs are athletic and fast.

The Volunteers have the talent on defense to be a very special group of players. Look for the Vols defense to swarm and tackle, two specialties of Sunseri led teams. The Vols will surprise the SEC this year and one reason will be their defense.

Lets Go Vols

Ownership Must Go

I could not write about the Mets this morning, I had to write about something fun, College Football, in particular The Volunteers of Tennessee. I needed some time to think happy thoughts and distance myself from my thoughts of my beloved Mets.

The really sad thing about the state of the Mets for this 50 year veteran of watching the Metropolitans is I have seen it all, I have actually seen Mets teams that would make this team look good. I have seen the Mets from the days when Casey said “can anyone play this game” to the thrilling moments in Mets history that are etched in Mets fans minds; Fans storming the field after game 5 of 1969 World Series, Rusty Staub, bat in hand with Willie Mays telling fans to stop throwing crap at Pete Rose in left field after his fight with Buddy Harrelson in the 1973 playoffs, the ball hit by Mookie Wilson rolling through Bill Buckner’s legs as Ray Knight races home to tie game 6 of the 1986 World Series and game 7 heroics.

As I watch the second half failure of the Mets the only conclusion I can come up with, it is time the Wilpon family sells the team. What has happened on the field is in direct relationship to management’s financial problems.  

The players we are sadly watching today are the same players we watched in June when they were in contention. We all knew they were playing on a thread. I don’t want to say over their heads, because I believe if all the parts of the Mets were to work at the same time, they would be contending. I think any team whose parts all work at the same time will contend. The Mets of June were contending and even then, all the parts did not work (Bull Pen, No Power)

The failure of the second half has shown the gaps this team has: no consistent power, no bull pen. The Mets of June scored lots of runs for a healthy starting rotation, injuries to Santana and Gee have hurt the Mets, I am actually encouraged by the starting rotation. You cannot ask for a better teammate or representative of the Mets than in Cy Young candidate RA Dickey, add Neise, Harvey, McHugh, Gee, and a healthy Santana you have the makings of a very good starting rotation next year.

The Mets must bring back DWright. This has to be the number one priority of Mets management. He is the face of the team, just like Chipper Jones has been the face of the Atlanta Braves. If the Mets let Wright walk they maybe letting another star walk into the arms of an eastern division foe. The Braves would love to have David Wright walk into the shoes of CJones.

The Mets needs of today will be the needs for next year as well, a bull pen that can hold a lead and power. The Mets have had two power hitting catchers in their 50 years, Carter and Piazza. The Mets desperately need a right handed power hitting catcher. The player I would love to see is another ex Volunteer J P Arencibia. He is under contract with Toronto through 2017, the only way he will end up in Flushing is via a trade and the Blue Jays will want gobs for his services. Power hitting catchers are very much at a premium in MLB and there are slim pickings on the free agent market.

The NY Mets need quality arms in the Bull Pen. The addition of Mejia, Familia and Carson will have a big impact on the team as has Josh Edgin this month. Look for the Mets to continue to seek pitchers for the pen.

Ike Davis and Lucas Duda must hit for power for the Mets to turn the ship around next year. The Mets will continue to struggle if the big guns shoot blanks. Bay is obviously done so in reality they have three outfield positions to fill.

The Mets have many missing pieces but the biggest missing piece is ownership that is committed in restoring the Mets to excellence.

Let’s Go Mets

What is Going on in Big Orange Country

The University of Tennessee football program took a major blow (no pun intended) when wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers was suspended for numerous failed substance abuse test. Dooley and Co will have to replace his 9 TDs and 1000 yards receiving. All World, Justin Hunter is back, how back we will soon see. Hunter who tore his ACL in the Florida game last year missed the Olympics this summer (world class hurdler) because of the injury and he may not be the same deep treat he once was.

The suspension of Rodgers does hurt the Vols potent offense but not as much as people may think. First, Hunter even at 90% is the best wide out in college football at 6'4 he is a gazelle with hands. The Volunteers also have highly recruited Corarrelle Patterson 6'3 215 a Jr College transfer from Kansas and healthy TE Mychal Rivera who many believe is better than Jason Witten was at this stage of their careers. The Vols also have Zach Rodgers who is a very capable wide receiver who runs great routs and has sure hands. Knoxville fans will get a chance to see home grown Cody Blanc who has now moved up the depth chart.

The Vols will have Heisman candidate Tyler Bray back from injuries as well, from all reports Bray and his 6'5 frame is up for the task of leading the Volunteers to the top of the very talented SEC East. Bray who has been compared to another 6'5 former Vol has a rocket for an arm and his accuracy is not in question.

Bray will also have Rajion Neal to hand the ball off to and look for the speedy Neal to run to daylight. Neal will have an offensive line that maybe bigger than some NFL teams. Four starters return who have over 80 games under their belt.

I look for Bray and company to put points on the checker board, the big question is will the Vols defense be able to stop the likes of Florida and Alabama. Tomorrow, I will report on the state of the Volunteer Defense, Special Teams and my thoughts on how the Volunteers will fair.

Lets Go Vols!

Mets Continue Slide

The New York Mets continued their dreadful free fall towards the bottom of the NL. The same team was scrapping game by game up until the All Star break. Since the midway point the Mets have been playing some of the worst baseball in their 50th year of existence.

The Mets have laid down for the last 8 weeks and many believe managements refusal to make any trades and spend money, said to the players, season is over. In any case the Mets have given up and it is very event by their play.

On a positive note Collin McHuge was impressive in his first start of his major league career. 7 innings, 0 Runs, 2 Hits 9 Strike outs.

Its Football Time in Tennessee

Being a native New Yorker I never had the opportunity to see college football in a historic venue until I moved to Knoxville and became a Volunteer fan. My first experience of walking into Neyland Stadium and seeing the orange and white checkerboard end zone gave me goosebumps, watching the Volunteer Pride of the South Band form the power tee and seeing the team running out on to the field led by smokey is a must see experience for any football fan.

This years Volunteer team with a Heisman candidate quarterback in Tyler Bray and two world class receiver in Da'Rick Rogers and Justin Hunter will surprise the best football conference in America. Coach Dooley will have the boys in Big Orange Country ready for Florida, Alabama and the rest of the SEC. No small task since Alabama the defending national champs is ranked #1 again in most polls with Auburn and Florida right there in the upper crust of college football.

Can Anyone Play This Game

Last nights Mets game was their season in a microcosm. The first 5 innings of the game Chris Young is pitches a  perfect game second half of the game was ugly. The Mets meltdown against one of the worst teams in the MLB is frustrating and sad. I and many other fans will dispatch this game and this season to that foggy part of our brains where we rarely go to or as Casey Stingel said "Can anyone play this game"

LGM

How Low Can You Go

The NY Mets sinked to a new low last night losing to the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field. RA Dickey received very little support in his search for his 16th win. The Mets were stymied by a rookie pitcher with very little stuff and the game was lost when Dickey could not hold a 1-0 lead. I think the Mets hitters believe RA must pitch a 1 hitter every game to win. It maybe the only way they win these days as the inconsistency has reduced the team to struggling status.
Tonight it is Chris Young's turn in trying to to win one for the Mets. Maybe DWright will give the Mets fans something to cheer about and his 200HR as a Met. LGM

Mets Come Limping Home

The Mets ran into a very hot Nationals team and Gio Gonzales yesterday at Nationals Park as the team from DC improved their record to a MLB leading 75 - 46. The Mets on the other hand were never in this match as Jeremy Hefner was over powered by the hard hitting Nats.

Tonight, the Mets send RA Dickey to the mound, seeking his 16th win of the season against the lowly Rockies, a team decimated by injuries and the owners of 73 loses.

LGM

Mets Win, Jets Crash and Burn

Jon Neise is molding into a very good left handed pitcher for the NY Mets and it could not happen at a better time. Last night he stymied the league leading Nationals on 5 hits before the bull pen came on to get the last 5 outs. The Nationals did not hit the ball hard and the couple of time Neise was in minor trouble he got out of the jams with dominating pitching. Ike Davis' 22 HR was all the offense Neise needed in beating the Nationals and fine themselves in position to win the series today with Jeremy Hefner getting the ball against Gio Gonzales. The left handed dominate Mets will have their hands full of one of the MLBs best lefty pitchers. LGM


The NY Jets did very little well last night, the offense was non existent for the starting eleven and the Jets defense let Eli and Giants move the ball down the field for a 16-0 half time lead. Sanchez and company did not look well as the Giant defense sacked the Jets QB twice and NY was never in an offensive flow.
In the second half Tebow led to Jets to 2 field goals against the second team defense of the G-Men, but he also under threw rookie Steven Hill standing alone in the end zone and on some passes looked awful throwing the ball.
I dont know what Rex Ryan has in store for the Jets this season, but if last nights game was a microcosm, the Jets will be lucky if they can win 4 games this season. The Ryan / Sanchez era maybe over sooner than later.  LGJ

Mets Lose in DC

The Mets came out swinging last night scoring 2 before the Nationals took a swing and Johan Santana was perfect for 3 frames, but as quick as lighting or in this case Michael Morris who cranked a grand slam and Santana was cooked. Brice Harper who was mired in a 4 for 40 something slump went 2-3 with a monster HR in the next frame as the Nationals increased there lead by two.
The gutty Mets tried to come back but came up short and  a 6-4 loss was in the books. Mets fans have seen this before, but this time they also know next year will be better. There is hope for the fans and the boys from Flushing will be better next year.

LGM

                                         Its Football Time in New York City

The home town NY Giants and NY Jets will play their annual preseason game in their home stadium tonight. I can remember my first NY Giants NY Jets game. The Giants were forced to play at the Yale Bowl for a couple of years as they left the Bronx and Yankee Stadium for the NJ Meadowlands and Giants Stadium in 1973. Tonight's game will match the NFL Champs against a Jets team many believe will have a world class defense and a who's on first offense.
The Ryan led Jets have a lot to prove this year. The big challenge for the Jets is being better than 8-8 as they were last year. Confusion at quarterback with Sanchez and Tebow is the big question mark for the Jets along with who is going to run and catch the ball?

LGJ

Harvey Shows His Stuff

Matt Harvey reminded Mets fans 2013 2ill be much better. The rookie fireballer did that last night in Cincinnati retiring the first 12 batters he faced and only giving up 1 run in 7 1/3 innings. The Mets bats came alive as well with Ike Davis and of all people Jason Bay went deep to help the Mets score 8 times, plenty of runs for the stellar Harvey.

Mets arrive in DC for a three game set against the best team in the MLB. Lets see of the Mets can reverse course against the rocketed Nationals. No-Han takes the mound tonight and is looking to rebound against Detwiler after struggling again in his last outing. Santana has not been the pitcher he was prior to the No Hitter and many suspect he is not 100% healthy.

Mets and Dickey Fade Away in Cincinnati

The NY Mets and RA Dickey did not do many things well last night in a 6-1 loss to the surging Reds. Dickey's signature knuckle ball stayed flat and the Reds smacked him around all day. The Mets offense mustered a run late but were never in the game. The reality of a second tier team has sunk in and the Mets are playing out the season, and not doing it very well.

LGM

Sometimes Chicken Sometimes Feathers

The NY Mets lost 3-0 last night in Cincinnati to the very good Reds team. While everyone in the East believes the Nationals and Braves are the cream of the crop, the Reds have very quietly won their 70th game and are 1 1/2 behind the nationals with the second best record in the MLB playing .603 ball.
Last night the Mets had plenty of chances (17 LOB) as did the Reds (23LOB) Chris Young and the relief corp had a WHIP +2 for the game but held the Reds scoreless until Jay Bruce's bomb in the bottom of the 9th.
Tonight will be a different story as RA Dickey goes for a league leading 16th win. Including last night the Mets still hold a 18-12 winning record at the Reds home field, The Great American Ball Park. Lets hope the magic returns for the boys from Flushing and Mr. Dickey.

The Dog Days of August

The NY Mets take the field tonight after winning Sunday night by the skin of their teeth and moving up in the standing. Tonight the Mets send Chris Young who has been spotty at best for the NY nine.
I have a strange feeling Mets are going to go on a run and get back in the mix for the wild card and the division lead. 

On a sad note Johnny Pesky died at 92, one of the great players of his era.

Wake Me When Its Over

The 9th inning of last night's NY Mets v Atlanta Braves was one of the most excruciating ordeals of the season. here you have a struggling ball club, who is out playing a potential league leader until Terry Collins gave the ball to the NY bull pen. Time after time the Mets have gone down to defeat at the hands of their relief pitching and last night that almost happened again. There were time I had to close my eyes because the pain from watching a gem of a pitching performance by Jon Neise go down the drain. 
Luckily the Mets hung on to win 6-5 and gave Neise his 9th win of the season. The issue with the bull pen is the number one reason the Mets will not make the playoffs this year, even with the injuries to the starting pitching, had the pen been at least mediocre the season would be different.  LGM

Mets Continue to Slide

The NY Mets continued their second half slide losing 9-3 to the Atlanta Braves. Johan Santana making his first start since coming off the DL was atrocious giving up 6 runs in 1 1/3 innings his shortest outing of his career. Santana was noticeable favoring his right leg as he walked off the field. Mets brass has to be second guessing itself for bring him back so soon.
The Mets will try to avoid a sweep at home by winning only their second game in the last twelve home starts.

LGM

All Fall Down

It was not a good night for Mets and Jets fans last night as both crashed and burned. The Mets continue their second half slide losing their 23 games in last 44. Matt Harvey gave up a monster Home Run in the first inning and struggles with command until the 4th inning, he then retired the the Braves for the last 8 outs of his appearance. The Mets offense continues to sputter and they never really had a decent scoring chance. Tonight Johan Santana returns from the DL to hopefully right the ship. Lets Go Mets

The Jets did not well all game and if there performance was a microcosm of the up coming season Jets fans will be suffering through a long season.

Mets Rise from the Ashes

The NYMets took a page out of their June play book and won for the first time in the last ten games at home. Mr. Cy Young, RADickey was stellar pitching a 5 hit, 1 run, 7 strike out gem.

The Braves come into NY for a three game series as hot as any team playing. The Braves have won 12 of their last 15 and are staying close to the league leading Nationals, a mere 2 games back. Needless to say this is a very important series for the Mets with a little luck the boys from Flushing may just turn the ship around. Today's game should make all Mets fans smile, it was a glimmer of hope for better times at Citi Field.

                    NY Jets Report 

The NY Jets coming off a very depressing 8-8 year have a lot to prove to their fans. The Jets are as uncertain as ever. Last year's crash and burning has cut a big hole in the swagger of the boisterous Jets. Head Coach Rex Ryan and his team are looking to rebound with a stellar defense and an offense in confusion. Santonio Holmes and rookie Stephen Hill have been fighting injuries slowing down new Offensive Coordinator Tony Spanos' offensive plans. Ryan and Spanos both are counting on the running game to take away pressure put on the shaky aerial attack. The offensive line has been dominated by the defense in practice and has not played up to expectations.

It will be very hard for the Jets to make playoffs this year. Although the defense could be the best ever and number 1 in the league, Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are not quarterbacks that will lead any team to a championship. Time will only tell, Lets Go Jets.

Reyes and Marlins Beat Mets

The Mets and Jon Neise did not live up to expectations Tuesday night at Citi Field by losing 4-2  to the Miami Marlins. Neise gave up 4 runs in the top of the fourth and that was enough for the Marlins as the Mets squandered chances to pull out the game leaving 16 runners on base.
David Wright continues to struggle getting one hit in 5 attempts.

The Mets second half slide has fans scratching their head and management looking to next year. The idea of a wild card berth is slipping very fast for the Gotham 9 as they sink into mediocrity.

Tonight Chris Young looks to stop the bleeding after one of the best starts of his Mets career in SD. Look for the Mets to regain form tonight in front of the home crowd.

Lets Go Mets

Mets Come Home

The NY Mets come home to Flushing and their loving fans to face Jose Reyes and the lowly Miami Marlins. Reyes has hit in 24 straight games for the longest hitting streak of his career. The Mets Rubin Tejada, the man who took over for Reyes at Short Stop for the Mets has his own career 11 game hitting streak going and is hitting .321 for the year.
Jon Neise will try to keep his good performances going seeking his 9th win of the season. The Marlins counter with Wade LeBlanc and his 1.35 ERA. Mets have a good opportunity to move closer to 500 against  the struggling Marlins. Look for DWright to bounce back into MVP form. Lets Go Mets

Mets Fall Flat

The Mets and Matt Harvey came out of the blocks as lazy as I was on Sunday afternoon losing to the Padres for the second time in three days. Terry Collins' boys were never in this one as Harvey gave up six extra base hits in 5 innings.
David Wright continues to slide and is now hitting under .330 for the first time this season. The Mets have no time to lick their wounds as the Marlins swim into Flushing for a three game series and only four games back of the Mets in the standings. Miami is ripe for a sweeping having only won four of their last ten. The Fish are led by Jose Reyes and his 24 game hitting streak. Look for Reyes to receive a less than friendly welcome from Mets fans as they look for the Mets to prey on the lowly Marlins.

Sunday Morning Thoughts

The New York Mets won their 6 game in the last 10 for the first time since before the All Star game. Jeremy Hefner proved his worth winning his 2nd game of the year and second consecutive quality start. Jordany Valdespin knocked in 2 runs in a 4 run first inning giving him 25 RBI in just 123 ABs. The Mets are back to a patient approach to every at bat and yesterday's first inning was an prime example of that philosophy.

Today the Mets send young Matt Harvey to the mound for his third start and he is looking to send the boys from Gotham back to NYC on a winning note and a very good west cost road trip after a disastrous two weeks following the break for the All Star game. Look for Jason Bay in LF it may be his last game with Mets as TC and Sandy will have decisions to be made for the remaining of the season. Mets are 8 games out of Wild Card with two months to go, not an impossible task by any stretch of the imagination. In past the Mets have lacked killer instinct lets see how they handle SD today. Lets Go Mets

Mets had their chances

Friday night the Mets had chances for victory last night but could not back up RA Dickey's performance loosing 3-1. Dickey pitched well enough to win but the Mets offense stalled in SD. Today Hefner will try to even the 3 game series with the Padres. The loss last night will ensure the Mets will be below 500. when they return from the road trip. Look for the Mets to rebound as they have to losses over the last ten days. LGM

How do you like them Apples

The Mets are not dead! Did you hear what I said? The NYMets are not dead. After the Mets latest step toward getting their MoJo back in the City by the Bay, the boys from Flushing proved once again this is a long season and they are not ready to concede anything.
Yesterday was a laugher from first pitch as the Mets plated 4 before Chris Young had thrown one pitch. Young was masterful and the offense was in high gear with Ronnie Cedeno stepping up to the plate with a 3 hit 5 RBI day.
Look for the Mets to continue winning ways with Dickey, Hefner and Harvey pitching in San Diego. A rotation, any team would dream of having. Remember, In Dickey We Trust.

DWright Bounces Back as Mets Win

The NY Mets showed fans back in NYC and around the world they are not dead with a 2-1 victory over the western divisions leading Giants and Matt Cain. The Mets bounced back last night with a strong win over SF. Rubin Tejada who showed a little pop in recent days hit his first HR in over 600 ABs. David Wright was back in the swing of things after a day off and had 3 hits for the night.

Mets are still under 500 but playing much better than they were just a week ago. The loosing streak put the Mets in a deep hole, but the last two series have given hope the ship is heading back in the right direction. Tonight's game will be a big test to see if the Mets can take 3/4 from the West leading Giants with Chris Young vs Barry Zito. Lets go Mets.

The Mets slip in SF

The NY Mets trying to right the ship slipped in San Fransisco last night against the Giants and The Freak loosing 4-1. The Mets had their chances and actually led the game 1-0 early on. Rubin Tejada who has been steady all season at SS committed his 3 error in last 6 games with last nights throwing error costing the team a win. Matt Harvey in his second MLB start pitched well enough to win and showed Mets brass and fans he does not back down.

The future is bright even with last night loss. Lets Go Mets!
