No Toppin’ Tanaka!

Posted by | May 15, 2014 | , , |

The Yankees signed pitcher Masahiro Tanaka to a 7 year, $155 M contract after going 24-0 with the Ratuken Golden Eagles of Japan. Tanaka has been MONEY this year! After shutting out the Mets and completing a game for the 1st time in his MLB career, he is 6-0! The Mets put out rookie Rafael Montero for his 1st career start last night. Montero pitched well but was charged with the loss in the Mets 4-0 loss. The momentum went from the Mets to the Yankees after switching from a hitter to pitcher friendly field. Yangervis Solarte and Mark Teixeira had solo-homers in the win. Tonight, Jacob DeGrom will make his 1st start in a NYM uniform while the Yankees put out Chase Whitley also making his 1st career start. This is Derek  Jeter’s last and 93rd Subway Series game, the Mets are set to give the Captain a gift tonight. The Spurs (West) and Heat (East) clinched their Conference finals last night after 2 big wins. Yes, it is still possible for a NBA Finals rematch from last year… The Rangers have found their opponent in the Montreal Canadiens for the Eastern Conference finals after Montreal beat the Bruins in Boston. 4 wins to the Cup! LETS GO...

Mets Win Slugfest #2

Posted by | May 14, 2014 | , , |

The Mets had another terrific night hitting vs. the Yankees scoring a season high 12 runs in a 12-7 win.  This is now 6 straight for the Mets vs. NYY and they are en-fuego right now. If they play like this in every game, they could be an elite team. The Mets had some great performances, Eric Young Jr. scored 3 runs despite 0 hits on the night. Daniel Murphy went 1-3 with 2 runs, 3 run homer and another RBI to make it 4. David Wright went 3-5 with 2 runs and 2 RBI’s. Curtis Granderson is rocking against his former team in this series. Last night he went 2-3 with a 3 run bomb with 2 runs and walks. Juan Lagares went 1-4 with 1 hit, RBI, and run. Lucas Duda went 2-4 with a RBI and Ruben Tejada went 2-4 with 2runs and a RBI. It’s nice to see the Mets have a total of 6 players drive in a run last night. Zach Wheeler pitched well going 4.1 innings and pitching a career high in pitches. He let up 5 runs and got 2 K’s. Wheeler’s improvement is coming. Daisuke Matsuzaka finally got his 1st relief win of the season, he struck out 4 batters and only let up 1 run.  Vidal Nuno took the loss for the Yankees giving up 7 runs (5 earned)...

Mets Win 5th Straight vs. NYY

Posted by | May 13, 2014 | , , , |

Mets 9 – Yankees 7… The Mets took game 1 of the Subway Series after 2 great comebacks and awesome hitting. If the Mets are gonna keep this up, they need to do what they did last night. Only 2 of the Mets 9 runs came on a hit other than a HR. The Mets hit 4 homers vs. the Yankees last night.  Bartolo Colon pitched like himself last night with another 6 run outing but struck out 4 and walked 0. Colon’s tires and 18 win season with the A’s last year is certainly in the books but he should find a way to improve a 2-5 record. The Mets hitting went well with 14 hits. David Wright went 1-5  with a RBI groundout in the 1st inning and a run.  Eric Young Jr. had a 2 run blast, 2 runs and 3 hits in the win. Curtis Granderson went 2-5 with a 2 run homer against his former team. Lucas Duda and Travis d’Arnaud solo homered and d’Arnaud added a 2nd run. Lastly, Chris Young had a big night going 2-4 with a go- ahead 2 run blast.  For NYY, Brett Gardner went 2-5 with a Grand Salami in the 2nd. Derek Jeter went 3-4 in the loss. Yangervis Solarte had a big night going 3-4 with 2 runs and a RBI. Marcus Thornton was charged with...

Subway Series Preview…

Posted by | May 9, 2014 | , |

On May 12th – 16th, the Mets and Yankees will play in another Subway series to decide the bragging rights of the Big Apple. Here is a report on the series… Mets Projected Lineup 1- Juan Lagares- CF, (.316 AVG) 2- Daniel Murphy- 2B, (.308 AVG) 3- David Wright- 3B, (.277 AVG) 4- Curtis Granderson- RF, (.175 AVG) 5- Chris Young – LF, (.246 AVG) 6- Lucas Duda- 1B, (.266 AVG) 7- Travis D’Arnaud- C, (.200 AVG) 8- Ruben Tejada- SS, (.183 AVG) 9- Bobby Abreu – DH, (.176 AVG), (only DH @ Yankee Stadium, PH @ Citi Field) 9- Pitcher (@ Citi Field) Mets- (Record as of May 9th – 16-17, 4th place in NL East, 3 Gms. back from 1st).  The Mets hitting must be up to the task against this Yankee pitching. In the 3 games the Mets will face (in order) – Hiroki Kuroda, Vidal Nuno and Masahiro Tanaka.  Tanaka is 4-0 on the year and the Japanese , monster money pickup by the Yankees is paying off with him throwing with a 2.53 ERA.  NYM will put out (in order)- Bartolo Colon, Zach Wheeler and Jenrry Mejia. Overall, the Mets starting pitching staff has been good, but Bartolo Colon has been lagging with a disappointing year so far. He is 2-5 with a 5.36 ERA. The bullpen has been a mess for the Mets,...

Rangers Go Down 3-1 vs. Pens

Posted by | May 8, 2014 | , , |

The Penguins have taken so many advantages of Ranger mistakes and turned them into benefits, especially defense which showed last night. The Penguins scored 4 goals on King Henrik Lundqvist yesterday mostly on defensive mistakes.  The Rangers needed a big boost from the crowd, only boo’s came out. Now Down 3-1 in the series and 3 more games in Pittsburgh, the Rangers are in big trouble, they need to win their next 3 to win the series. They need more shots and GOALS! They have only scored 5 goals in the series. The Pens have scored 12! The Rangers must get something going in order to win. The NFL Draft is TODAY! I am psyched! I wonder what awaits with the Block-Buster trades and great or horrible picks. I just worry about the Jets doing something dumb, well, the’ve definitely learned before (Brady Draft, Marino Draft.)  So, J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS! The Mets have now fell to under 500 (16-17) after losing to the Marlins 1-0 on ANOTHER walk-off hit by the Fish. That is 3 walk-offs given up in their last 5 for the Mets, (11-10 to Colorado, 4-3 to Marlins and 1-0 to the Marlins). The Mets need to pick themselves up and score some runs. They have been shut out in their last 2. Hopefully they can move up in the NL East order now a...
