Mets Dynamic Duo Harvey, Wheeler Get the Job Done

METS 4, Braves 3 GM1  METS 6, Braves 1 GM2 The future of the the New York Mets was on full display for one entire day and night at Turner Field in Atlanta. A team that has so little to play for in 2013, and seemingly so little to look forward to, left Turner Field, Tuesday night with full knowledge that they have not just one, but now two aces at the top of their pitching staff. We all know who Matt Harvey is. The unquestioned number 1 starter of the New York Mets has been nothing short of brilliant this year; he's flirted with perfection twice, and dominated the competition throughout the schedule. He is well on his way to getting the ball for the All Star game next month at Citi Field. In Game 1 of the Mets' double-header in Atlanta, Harvey once again flirted with a no hitter. He walked only two hitters through the games first six innings, before Jason Heyward reached on an infield single in the seventh that could have easily been ruled an error. Harvey blew away...

Open Mike 06/16/13 Reaction to Jason Kidd Becoming New Nets Coach

In this edition of the Open Mike Program, host Michael Cohen breaks down the recent news that future Hall of Famer, Jason Kidd has signed on to coach the Brooklyn Nets. Is this a good move for both Kidd and the Nets, or a sign of desperation? Michael analyzes.  Michael then brings on Doug Rush of Giants101 and Yankees101 to talk about the latest news surrounding the Yankees and G-Men.  Listen HERE! 

Nets tap future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd as Head Coach

When Jason Kidd officially hung up his basketball sneakers two weeks ago, it was easy to assume that he was ready to accept a life outside of the spotlight. We would see him occasionally at Nets games when they honored him with the retiring of his jersey, and then see him years later during his Hall of Fame induction -- and that would be about it. Never did we think Kidd was ready for this. Jason Kidd is now the Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets . In a move that reeks of both desperation, and serious question marks, the Nets, who failed at wooing the likes of Phil Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Doc Rivers felt the need to make a splash for a head coach. Instead of settling for someone like Brian Shaw, who has been a long time assistant coach with both the LA Lakers and Indiana Pacers, they decided to go with the "sexy pick." As has been proven by the brain trust of Mikhail Prokorov and Jay-Z, the Brooklyn Nets decided, once again, that making money is more important t...

Tebow looking for revenge on Rex & Jets, joins Patriots

It is no story that Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick hates the New York Jets with a passion. The reasoning behind it is one that only Bill can understand, and maybe one day, after he is long retired he'll tell us in a book or something about why he resigned as HC of the NYJ back on a early January Monday in the year 2000. But until that time, Belichick and the Patriots have found more and more ways to undermine the Jets, with a couple of exceptions like New York's shocking playoff victory in Foxboro in 2010. The latest move by the Patriots reeks of "lets see if we can get the fat boy down there fired." The Patriots signed quarterback Tim Tebow on Monday night, with the hope that he can be a big contributor to the football team, not necessarily at quarterback, but as a change-up in Tom Brady's pocket. ...and they did it without needing a "Welcome Tim Tebow" press conference...Woody... . Last season the Jets brought Tebow in because they were i...

MLB Targeting A-Rod for Possible 100 Game Ban, Now What?

Alex Rodriguez already knew his 2013 season is in serious doubt as he recovers from hip surgery. While there is an outside chance that Rodriguez could return to the field by mid-to-late August, the lingering ramifications from his dabbling in steroids from the Biogenesis lab was never going to leave him. Rodriguez, an already admitted steroid user during his time with the Texas Rangers, was supposed to be clean since coming to New York. That was until a story in February revealed that Rodriguez was one of the top clients for Tony Bosch, who ran a chemical/steroid lab in Miami, Florida. Now Major League Baseball is trying to work out a deal with Bosch to provide further information on Rodriguez, Milwaukee slugger Ryan Braun and 20 other players before doling out 100-game suspensions. If there is enough evidence provided by the former steroid supplier, it would give Commissioner Bud Selig tremendous power in handing out suspension. While first time offenders typically receive 50...
