Once upon a time the Giants were 3-2, riding a three-game winning streak, making it seem like that 0-2 start against the Lions and Cardinals was an early-season hiccup and making believers out of everyone, including me. Then again, it’s never been hard to make a believer out of me when it comes to the […]
The football season is over in New York and for the Giants and the way things are going for the Yankees this offseason, the baseball season might for me might go the same way this football season did. Up in Boston, the Patriots are chugging along and look like they are headed back to at […]
Stay afloat. That’s what the Rangers’ game plan has been through the first 18 games of the season thanks to injuries and that’s what they had somewhat done up until 10 days ago. But in their last six games over those 10 days, the Rangers have gone 1-3-2, earning just four of a possible 12 […]
Once again the offseason started too early for the Yankees and that means that once again my offseason for not talking about the Yankees started early too. But unlike the real baseball offseason, mine is already over. The GM meetings have come, the Winter Meetings are around the corner and before you know it, pitchers […]
I usually make the picture for the weekly picks of either Eli Manning or Tom Coughlin, but I couldn’t help but choose Perry Fewell looking like most people walking through McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on their way to their return flight home. Fewell’s look and demeanor sum up how his defense played last […]
I’m thinking of going to a comedy show in New York on Sunday night, which would force me to miss the end of the Giants-Seahawks game. So I have to make the decision between moving from the couch on a football Sunday, going out, paying for a round-trip cab, admission to the show and food […]
El Duque was always my favorite Yankees pitcher. His first start for the Yankees came on June 3, 1998 when I was 11 years old and at the end of sixth grade. His high leg kick, the way he changed speeds and the way he pitched in big games helped mold me into the fan […]
I can’t believe we are in Week 9 of the season. Let’s recap the first eight weeks. Week 1: 8-8-0 Week 2: 4-12-0 Week 3: 9-7-0 Week 4: 6-6-1 Week 5: 10-5-0 Week 6: 6-9-0 Week 7: 8-7-0 Week 8: 8-7-0 That’s four winning weeks, two losing weeks and two .500 weeks. The only problem […]
The Giants desperately needed a bye this week to get healthy and get things in order before starting a crucial, season-deciding four-game stretch against the Colts, 49ers, Seahawks and Cowboys. And I desperately needed a bye week from the Giants because I just don’t know if I could handle watching them this Sunday after what […]
Two steps back, three steps forward, one step back. This picks season feels a lot like the Giants’ season once again.
