All Things Yankee
OK so I was going to write my next installment of Down on the Farm but I decided to make this an all-encumbering Yankee post instead. It’s for two reasons. 1) There is a lot of stuff going on with the Yankees right now that I want to talk about. And 2) Out of the 7 guys I have been following in the minors, 2 of them are hurt and one of them was called up to the Majors. So I really only had 4 guys to write about. I will do that at then end of this column after I cover what else there is to cover. So, let’s dive in.

The Boston Celtics won game 5 of the NBA Finals 106-88 and clinched their NBA record 18th Championship. Man, did I love typing that sentence. So, part of me wanted to write this Monday night after the game and just let it be everything I was feeling and thinking at the moment but I decided to wait and let everything sink in. Usually when I write any article, 5 minutes later I think of a bunch of stuff I should have put in it. I didn’t want that to happen to this one. I wanted to take my time and get it a right as I could. So let’s talk about the 2024 NBA Champion Boston Celtics.

It’s been another fortnight since we last checked in with the New York Yankees. It’s another Monday off day and there’s a lot going on right now so let’s head back down to Yankee Land and see what’s happening with the Bronx Bombers. Since we last checked in the Yankees have gone 13-6 and are now 50-24 on the season. Baltimore refuses to lose baseball games and has moved back into a tie for first place after the Yankees went into Boston and dropped two of three. The Yankees are tied with Baltimore and the Dodgers for the best record in baseball (the Yanks have played and won 3 more games than the others two) but things are getting a bit shaky for the Boys in Pinstripes. Let’s dive in.

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Boston Celtics 122-84 in game 4 of the NBA Finals. The loss was one of the biggest defeats in the history of the NBA Finals. Clearly, it’s time for Celtics fans to panic, right? Right?
Continue readingNBA Finals Game 3
The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 106-99 in game three of the NBA Finals. The Celtics now lead the series 3-0 and are well on their way to hanging Banner 18 in the rafters of the Boston Garden. The only question left may be if they will sweep the Mavs and have to celebrate on the road or if Dallas can salvage a game and let the Celtics celebrate in front of their home town fans.
Continue readingNBA Finals Game 2
The Boston Celtics took a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals with a 105-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. This was a bad loss for the Mavericks as the night’s when the Celtics can’t throw the ball in the ocean are the night’s you are supposed to beat them. Failing to do so, even in Boston, can really come back to hurt Dallas’ chances. With that said, it’s great that the Celtics are up 2-0 but this series is far from over. The old saying goes “a series doesn’t stop until the home team loses”. So far, all the Celtics have done is hold serve. I like their chances to finish this off, but it’s anything but a foregone conclusion.

I did not realize how long it has been since I did one of these. It’s been way too long. I really have to make it a more regular column. With that said, it is time to check in with the boys down on the farm. The Yankees minor leaguers who may not necessarily be their top prospects but are the ones I have chosen to follow this season. I have actually added a couple of guys to the list from the last time. We will stat with the five guys from the last column.
Continue readingNBA Final’s Game 1
The Boston Celtics won game one of the NBA Finals in what wasn’t a particularly competitive game. Everyone played well for the Green Team as they cruised to a victory. It is only one game of seven but the Celtics got off to the best start they could have hoped for.

Hey, guess what. There is actually going to be an NBA game played tonight. That’s right! You may have forgotten but the NBA Playoffs are still going and the Finals actually start tonight. The Boston Celtics will take on the Dallas Mavericks in game one of their 7 game series. Let’s look at the match up and see what is going to determine who will come out on top.
