Knicks started the defense of their NBA Championship last Tuesday against the Sixers.....And tonight they start their defense of the NBA Cup against the Sixers.
Knicks were dominant in the 4 games they played in Philly last year.#Knicks
Maybe tonight's result was the best thing for the Knicks. I expect them to be fired up and go on the kind of run they had on the playoffs and pile up a string of wins and an impressive record early.#Knicks
A lot of people laughed at me about Jake Bauers.
Bauers actually hit a pair of homers for the Yankees in Chavez Ravine on that June Saturday in 2023 when Judge broke his toe crashing into the cement wall base.#Yankees
Big hit by Jake Bauers off the lefty. He's no Ben Rice (or Spencer Jones), but I still love the guy.#Yankees
Need I remind any Yankee fan here that during the disastrous season that was 2023, he was my favorite player by far.....Mr. Jake Bauers.
Proud of what he's become.#Yankees
I know the Yankee higher-ups love Boone, but after 9 years, it's time for a new voice. It's that simple. #Yankees
Once the Knicks got rolling in last year's playoffs, they sustained their dominant, superior play from round to round as they advanced.
I hoped the Yanks would keep rolling after looking so awesome and dominant against Boston. But they couldn't sustain it.
Reflects poorly.
Absolutely unforgivable to lose 3 straight in the ALDS to the Rays....
Especially after how the Yankees looked in the Red Sox series.
Especially with Cole, Schlittler and Fried starting the 3 games.
There must be accountability. #Yankees
Just allowing Grisham the opportunity to accept the qualifying offer was a doomed decision that negatively affected the season. I know Dominguez was awful, but maybe if he had confidence going into the season that the position was his, he might have blossomed...or maybe Spencer
Jones gets that spot out of spring training. But gifting that position to a lazy, underachieving player who was due to revert to his norm brought negative vibes (and negative on-field results) from the outset. It was poor management and Cashman must be held accountable.#Yankees
Can't see how Boone survives yet another ALDS loss.
It's the same story every year. Win 93 or 94 games, and then lose to a division rival or the Astros in the postseason.
And Hal doesn't care. And Cashman makes excuses.
They're hurting the franchise legacy.#Yankees
Yankees reminded me of the Knicks in this Red Sox series. Kind of biding their time and going through the motions in the regular season and then MASSIVELY turning it up a gear once the playoffs start. #Yankees
Yanks can start 8 lefties tomorrow vs. Sonny Gray. In Yankee Stadium, that's quite an edge.#Yankees
If the Yankees win tomorrow, they are going to the World Series.
I'm STILL more afraid of the Red Sox than the Rays.#Yankees
Rice also homered off Bello in Game #2 of last year's Wild Card. #Yankees
2024: 93-69 reg. season (World Series)
2025: 94-68 reg. season (lose in ALDS)
2026: 93-68 reg. season (we'll see)
#Yankees
I don't care if Lombard makes errors. The guy can hit. He's fearless. He gets big hits...and he's a winner. He'll get big hits in the playoffs.
Tonight's win might not have mattered in the long run....but in the short run, it sure was uplifting. #Yankees
