Yankees Blast Nine Homers in Beatdown of Rays

 The suddenly red-hot Yankees spanked the Tampa Bay Rays out at Steinbrenner Field, Tuesday night, to the tune of 13-3, as New York got back to flexing it's power with nine home runs, tying a club record. 

The last time the Yankees offense was this potent was on March 29 when they corked nine bombs in a 20-9 beatdown of the Milwaukee Brewers that sent baseball fans into a tizzy over the use of the turbo bats. 

Remember those days!? 

Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton each launched a pair of home runs in the win, and Aaron Judge cracked his 40th moonshot of the year. All three players contributed to hit back-to-back-to-back home runs for the Bombers in the first inning to take a 3-0 lead. 

Jazz Chisholm and Ben Rice also went deep for the Bombers. Even newly acquired Jose Caballero hit a solo shot in the ninth to cap off the scoring against his former team. 

Since joining the Yankees at the deadline, Caballero is hitting .364 in 11 games with two homers and four RBI. 

As for Bellinger, he continues to be a stud for the Yankees. Three more hits for the lanky left-fielder, raising his average to .272 on the year. 

The Yankees have now won four in a row, including their sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend. The Yankees who looked dead a couple weeks ago, are now just 4.5 games back of Toronto in the AL East, and suddenly lead the wild card with both Seattle and Boston slumping.

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 ...

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...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
