Yankees and Mets 2019 Schedules Released

Yeah, yeah we still have more than a month left in 2018 season, and in the case of the Yankees they hope to be playing deep into October. But, Major League baseball released the 2019 schedule today.

If you are a Mets fan that is about the only left to get excited for. So let's throw a bone to the Mets fan.

The Metroplitans will open up the 2019 season on the road in Washington D.C., March 28, and will continue the road trip down to Miami. This will mark the second straight year that Major League Baseball will begin the season in March, an edict by Commissioner Rob Manfred to create more days off for players.

The Mets home opener is not until April 4 against the Nationals.

In interleague action, the Mets will face the AL Central, with battles at Citi Field against the Twins, Indians and Tigers slatted for next season. The Mets will visit the Twins, Royals and White Sox next year. The Mets and Yankees will play two sets of two-game series next season. One pair will take place June 10 and 11 at Yankee Stadium. The other series will take place July 2 and 3 from Citi Field.

As for the Yankees they will open up next year at home March 28 against the Orioles. Will this be Manny Machado's first game in Pinstripes? Will there be another March blizzard?

The Yankees get their first licks at the Red Sox April 16 and 17 at Yankee Stadium. Oddly their first visit to Boston next year doesn't come until July 25. The reason? They play two games as the "road team" against the Red Sox in London in June.

Regarding Interleague play, the Yankees will be matched up against the NL West. That includes trips to San Francisco, Arizona, and Dodgers Stadium. The Yankees will host the D-Backs, Rockies and Padres at Yankees Stadium next year.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
