It's New York Yankees baseball or maybe New York Rangers hockey or perhaps New York Knicks basketball or it's a guest appearance at New York Mets baseball. There a few things that are certainties in life and for me, if there's a Rangers or Knicks home game or a Yankee home game, that's likely where I'll be.
So let's play some catchup as I join the blog bandwagon late and attempt to keep up. The Yankees are six games out of the playoffs with 29 to go, 14 at the current Yankee Stadium. I'm not anticipating playoff games for a few reasons such as inconsistent performances with runners in scoring position, spotty pitching even from those with big-game track records. (Sorry Andy Pettitte, you're a nice guy but you just haven't gotten it done recently).
As for the Mets, they have one month to erase the ghost of Septembers past, mainly that putrid final two weeks of the 2007 season when anything did and often went wrong. I'll never forget watching that unfold and being the stands for their final win of the season when they won so decisively to make you believe that they were going to pull through. In the end it was not to be and it cost a classy guy like Willie Randolph his job, but if there's any consolation, it's that Jerry Manuel has a very good personality and is equally as classy.
I'll discuss the Rangers and Knicks at a later date. I'll also share some memories, especially with both ballparks closing their doors in a few weeks. Either way thanks for reading.
