Simply the Best: Predicting the A.L. All-Star Pitchers
Posted: 13th June 2010 by Michael Cohen in MLB
Last week I talked about the biggest snubs that are not getting voted to this year's All-Star Game. Now I want to turn my attention to pitching.
Pitching is back in a big way, as we have seen three no-hitters, two perfect games, and one coulda, shoulda, woulda perfect game by Armando Galarraga. As the All-Star Game approaches, both Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Phillies manager Charlie Manuel will have to ...
Sayonara Omar! Jeff Wilpon’s First Move Should Be To Axe Mets GM Minaya
Posted: 18th May 2010 by Michael Cohen in MLB
Two years ago, Mets GM Omar Minaya went to Anaheim California to deliver Willie Randolph and Rick Peterson a pink slip. Randolph deserved better; if the Mets wanted to fire him, they should have done it that Sunday after the Mets split a double-header with the Texas Rangers at Shea Stadium.
Plus, Randolph brought the Mets out of the doldrums of the Art Howe years, taking the Mets to ...
Dancing With the Enemy: Jason Taylor Set To Put New York Jets on Dance Card
Posted: 10th April 2010 by Michael Cohen in NFL
Believe it or not, at some point over the next few days, Miami Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor will stand next to Woody Johnson, Rex Ryan, and Mike Tannenbaum holding a green and white Jets home jersey with his name on it. All will be smiles, with lots of hugs and kisses to go 'round.
It is hard to fathom that a man who has made his career both sacking Jets quarterbacks ...

Posted: 25th March 2010 by Michael Cohen in NFL
This is what a surprise run to the AFC Championship game can get you.
Your very on television show!
In an offseason that has been full of Jets headliners since they fell to Indianapolis in that aforementioned title game, the latest now has the Jets staring in HBO's annual right for open-mic'd big mouths with bigger egos in "Hard Knocks," a training camp diary that follows a team from day ...
Mike Francesca: New York Mets Will Sign Jason Bay
Posted: 29th December 2009 by Michael Cohen in MLB
The Mets have finally, finally, finally made a move this off-season.
In an off-season full of total disappointment as Mets GM Omar Minaya failed to make plays for John Lackey, Jason Marquis, Randy Wolf, and Roy Halladay, it appears that the Mets will finally make a splash this winter.
According to WFAN radio host Mike Francesca, the Mets will sign outfielder Jason Bay to a long term contract. The deal is ...
New York Jets Have Nothing to be Proud of After Colts Surrender Football Game
Posted: 28th December 2009 by Michael Cohen in NFL
This is not how a team would like to win a game.
Sure, a win is a win, and if you root, or work, or play for the New York Jets, you take every win you can get.
But when the greatest quarterback in the game is removed because Colts head coach Jim Caldwell is willing to treat the remaining games as preseason, you can't feel good about it.
Head Coach Rex ...
You better watch out!

You better cry, and I'm telling you why!
Santa Minaya, and the Wilpon Elf's are coming to ruin your Christmas.
In case you have been preoccupied with holiday shopping, family gatherings, caroling, and way too much egg nog, the Mets have found a way to make the retail economy look like the good ole surplus days of the 1990's.
The Mets have done absolutely nothing this ...

Yes They Can!: New York Giants Still Have a Shot at NFC East Crown
Posted: 7th December 2009 by Michael Cohen in NFL
If you asked a Giants fan on a Black Friday that was black for reasons other than retail stores getting into the black, about their team's chances to win the NFC East, they would tell you: Fugeddaboutit!!
Coming off a Thanksgiving night where the Giants played turkeys to the Broncos Pilgrims, and coming off five listless performances over the last six weeks, one would think that the G-Men could be ...
Suddenly, the AFC East is no longer a shoe-in for the New England Patriots.
Once New England's third receiver, Sam Aiken, jumped into the air to catch Tom Brady's pass near mid-field, then got free of the corner-back and sprinted down the sideline for a 81 yard touchdown to give New England a 21-10 lead over the Miami Dolphins, it looked like the division was firmly in the hands of ...
