Congrats to the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays defeated the Texas Rangers tonight in game 163 for the right to play game 164 for a chance to officially win the Wild Card in Cleveland Thursday night.... but more importantly is the fact that the Rays have a guy who wears a Chewbacca mask after they win...Congrats on your win again Tampa Bay but if that thing isn't move quality THEN IT IS NOT OKAY!

Mets off-season player moves
Who I want the Mets to get - Andre Either, Jacoby Ellsbury, Giancarlo Stanton, Shin Soo Choo (or whatever), Jose Reyes, the Abreu guy, Robinson Cano, Tim Lincecum, Brian McCan, Josh Johnson, and a solid amount of bullpen guys.
Who the Mets will get - No one.
"Things just ain't looking bright. You have to find a bright spot. There ain't no light at the end of the tunnel, though, it looks like." - Cliff Floyd
Sure there is Cliff, it's the light of a giant oncoming train of losing seasons coming toward us!
I'd love to do a full season wrap up of the Mets and look for positives but let's be realistic, when your best player needs tommy john surgery and you have the worst medical staff in baseball, when your owner refuses to retire the best player in the history of the organizations number so that he can make more money on another ceremony, when the owner says they won't make the World Series, when for the majority of the season their highest home run hitter was at 10, and when they have never had a winning season at Citi Field what is there to say? They stunk this season and it wasn't pretty to watch.
Maybe next year..

I miss fat Rex Ryan
Sure, Rex Ryan is probably at a healthier weight now that he slimmed down over the last couple years... but the Jets have gotten predominantly worse the skinnier he's gotten! As if somehow Rex's fatness was directly proportionate to the Jets winning, and if that's the case Kansas City has a certified winner on their hands.
But in all seriousness, when Rex first got to New York he was this big boisterous, confident, brilliant football mind who finally got his chance to be a head coach and was gonna take it to the rest of the league for passing over him. He was talking Super Bowl Parade routes, he was talking of a #1 rated defense, and he brought something to the Jets they've really never had in their whole existence, baring one year, 1969, when they actually won the Super Bowl, and that's confidence!
The Jets were not gonna let anyone push them around, no one was gonna come to the Meadowlands and beat them and they were going to go on the road and be unafraid of the challenge. Plus, Rex wasn't going to "kiss Belichecks rings" and that was no better shown than when the Jets beat the Patriots in only his second game.
The Jets were unafraid, they were confident on offense, defense, and special teams, and despite the fact that they somehow snuck into the playoffs in 2009 they stuck to Rex's guns and it worked. They beat Cinci and San Diego on the road and gave Indy all they could despite injuries on both sides of the ball. But it was a great start and had Rex's confidence through the roof and so went the confidence of the team and that of the fans.
In the off-season the Jets added a Super Bowl MVP winning wide receiver to their offensive arsenal, they added a tough, smart defensive super star in Jason Taylor and Rex was back to his Super Bowl parade route ways and it was AWESOME! The Jets weren't afraid, they were the best team in the NFL that season and there was no question.They added one of the best running backs of the past 10 years who was having a resurgence in his career and they were running the ball down teams throats, daring them to stack the box and when they did Sanchez hooked up with Holmes, Edwards, Keller, Smith, Cotchery, LT, Greene, and on the defensive side we DARED teams to throw the ball, they couldn't, the Jets stacked the box and blitzed like crazy, and had 2 of the best cover corners in the league.
The 2010 Jets were unlike any other Jets team before in that they were able to go to places that haunted them previously and win. A late season game in the snow in Pittsburgh usually spelled disaster but they were able to get a win there after 2 straight bad games including being blown out in New England, they went on the road in the Wild Card playoff round and didn't just beat the Colts, but shut down Peyton Manning the very same guy who tormented them in the AFC Championship game the year before, then they went on the road to New England where they had just previously lost a month earlier by almost 40 points and battered Tom Brady and really had their way all day with the Pats. And even though the season didn't end the way it should have they were truly willing to go toe to toe (no joke intended) with anyone and everyone led by their fearless fat leader.
2 straight AFC Championship games, 4 road playoff wins in 2 years, and an 11-5 record (one of the best in Jets history) was nothing to shake a stick at, this team truly was going in the right direction, things seemed good, however...
The Jets dismantled their entire team before the 2011 season and the rest is history. They brought in a guy who shot HIMSELF in the leg . Rex started losing weight, then Holmes threw the ball at a 49er corner, Sanchez butt fumbled and it all went to sh*t. Now Rex is skinny and Geno Smith is trying to put the ball behind his back while Bilal Powell runs around doing nothing and they have the receiving core of a low end high school (commack).
The days of Rex cursing freely and saying things like "lets go get a damn snack!" are over and replaced with visions of another 6-10 season and Woody Johnson wiping his ass with his "Romney Ryan" bumper sticker and wads of hundred dollar bills. The confidence is gone, the ground and pound is gone, the good defense is gone, and all that's left is a skinny reminder of what once was, what could have been and what will never be.
