MLB THE SHOW A TRUE LOOK INTO

FANTASY BASEBALL BY MARK HALPERN Baseball has always been and will be America’s pastime. However, out of every 100,000 hopeful players a year, they all have less than a 1% chance at making “The Show.” For the super hard-core guys who fall up short and for kids say 8 and up (yet my six-year-old hasContinue reading “MLB THE SHOW A TRUE LOOK INTO”

BACKFIRING

The Mets lineup is to blame for their start this season, but what they did on Sunday was disrespectful, and there’s only one person to blame.

ROCK BOTTOM?

BY MIKE RIFKIN The Mets lost 2-1 in 10 innings on Sunday, marking the Mets eleventh straight loss as they finished a road trip 0-6 against the Dodgers and Cubs.

Every year since 2020 at least one of them has captured MVP, including the last two years where they each won their respective league MVP. For Ohtani it was his third consecutive MVP (2023 with LAA), Judge will be lookingContinue reading “MVP CANDIDATES”

STEARNS : THE GOOD GUY ONCE AGAIN

BY MARK HALPERN To quote the great Axl Rose “ All you need is just a little patience”. And truth be told the same could be said for Mets fans because this winter has been a tail of two different emotions. They saw homegrown and fan favorites leave.
