YANKEES 6 - Mets 4  W - Shreve (1-0) L - Niese (2-1) S - Miller (7) The New York Mets had every opportunity to take the first leg of the 2015 Subway Series, and they blew it in a barrage of errors and poor execution that would make any manager want to hit the reset button, and take his bumbling ball club back to the basics of spring training. Sunday night's 6-4 loss wasn't just bad, it was awful. Easily the worst performance of the season by the Mets, who reminded us that not only are they human, but the defensive issues that plagued this team coming into the season are indeed true. What hurts most of all is the Mets had a chance in this one. They built a 2-0 lead on Yankees' starter Nathan Evoldi who had nothing in the tank. The guy was truly awful. He was missing with pitches all over the map and the Mets couldn't muster a complete challenge to him. They had him on the ropes, and like a inexperienced fighter they let him go easy. Bottom line is the Mets di...

YANKEES 6 - Mets 1  W - Pineda (3-0) L - deGrom (2-2) The Mets will not be going 159-3 after all. The Mets record setting 11-game winning streak came to a streaking halt in the Bronx in the first game of this year's Subway Series thanks in big part to the scorching hot bat of Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, who destroyed the Mets with a pair of mammoth home runs. A game that was supposed to be about how the Mets were coming of age, ready to grab the reigns of the City from the Yankees, it was the Bronx Bombers who proved New York, for at least one night, is still theirs. Perhaps the moment, the aura of the stadium, and all the hype was a bit too much for Mets starter Jacob deGrom, who had his worst outing of the season, maybe even of his career. Right away the right-hander found himself behind the eight ball when he gave up a two-run blast to Teixeira, who deposited the ball in the right field porch for a 2-0, Yankees lead. Things didn't get any better for deG...

METS 3 - Braves 2  W - Carlyle (1-0) L - Johnson (1-1) S - Familia (7) The Mets keep losing players to injury, and they keep winning games in the process. With Travis d'Arnaud and Jerry Blevins on the disabled list, joining the likes of David Wright, Vic Black, Bobby Parnell, Josh Edgin, and Zach Wheeler, the Mets refuse to be denied thus far in 2015. On Wednesday the Mets won their 10th straight game with a 3-2 come-from-behind win against the Atlanta Braves at home. The winning streak is the longest by a Mets team since 2008. The last time New York opened a season 12-3 it was 1986, the year New York won the World Series. Once again the heroes for this New York team was its plethora of young players, Wilmur Flores, Juan Lagares and, of course, Lucas Duda. Lagares got the momentum turned for the Mets when he robbed Atlanta second baseman Jace Paterson of extra bases when he snagged down a fly ball over his shoulder in the top of the seventh with the Mets trailing 2-1. ...

After a day full of rumors and leaks the 2015 NFL schedule was finalized Tuesday night, with a mega reveal on NFL.com and the NFL Network. Without further adeu here are the schedules. First, we'll take a look at the NY teams, then the primetime games on Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Jets 2015 Season Schedule CLEVELAND 1:00 CBS @ Indianapolis 8:30 ESPN PHILADELPHIA 1:00 FOX @ Miami* (London) 9:30 CBS Bye Week WASHINGTON 1:00 FOX @ New England 1:00 CBS @ Oakland 4:05 CBS JACKSONVILLE 1:00 CBS BUFFALO 8:25 NFLN @ Houston 1:00 CBS MIAMI 1:00 CBS @ NY Giants 1:00 CBS TENNESSEE 1:00 ...

As the leaks keep flying in here is another tasty tidbit from the 2015 NFL schedule release, and this one concerns the battle of New York ... or ... er ... New Jersey, the Giants and Jets. According to Ralph Vacchianno of the NY Daily News, the Giants and Jets will face each other on December 6, 2015. The time of the game and the network, at this moment is not known. The Giants will be the host team for this year's contest. The last time the Giants and Jets met in the regular season, you'd have to go back to December 24, 2011 when the Giants beat the Jets with the playoffs on the line for both teams. The game is best remembered for Victor Cruz's 99-yard touchdown catch and run. The Giants would use that victory as a springboard toward the Super Bowl. For the Jets, the game was the beginning of the end for both Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez with the Jets. The Giants scheudle is almost all complete. Big Blue will face Dallas in week 1, Atlanta in week 2, visit Washingto...

Later tonight the entire NFL schedule will be released to the public, but already, as is the annual tradition, rumors and leaks are coming out all over the place regarding the schedule. Here is what we knew already. The Jets play Miami in London in Week 4. The Bills vs. Jaguars and Chiefs vs. Lions will also play in London Weeks 7 and 8, respectively.  Now for the good stuff that is hot off the presses. According to NJ.com , the New York Jets will open the season at home for the sixth straight season, this time against Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns. An intriguing match-up because both teams are rumored to be hot for Marcus Mariota in the draft, and it would be Mike Pettine's return to the Meadowlands against his old team. Plus if Johnny Football is still in Cleveland, we get to see him handle the Big Apple media blitz for the entire week.  It is surprising in a way since the Jets have been opening at home for six straight years, while the Giants have eith...
