The Giants Get A Big Win In Washington

Hold the casket, cancel the flowers, the Giants aren’t dead yet. Faced with a 17-3 halftime deficit, the Giants showed a lot of heart and some very good defense for a change as they rallied to win 24-17. more ›

Quick Hits: Tiki to NBC; 'Evident Progress' by Thomas

Quick Hits: Tiki to NBC; 'Evident Progress' by Thomas

  • The Knicks under Isiah Thomas as coach seem to be doing something right. They are on the verge of matching last season's win total before they even reach the All-Star break and Jim Dolan is happy. The Star-Ledger reports that Dolan told the players before Saturday's loss to the Utah Jazz that Thomas doesn't have "anything to worry about right now." While we agree that the Knicks have made progress since last year, it's hard to imagine a team that can get any worse than the dreadful '05-'06 Knicks.

    Tiki Wasn't Ready- To Retire

    Tiki Wasn't Ready- To Retire

    They really tried to blow it, but Tiki Barber wouldn’t let them. After building up a 27-7 lead the Giants held on for dear life and survived 34-28 over the Redskins. Barber had his finest game as a Giant, rushing for 234 yards and three touchdowns, including a pivotal 50-yard TD in the fourth quarter. more ›

    Knicks Lose Again

    Knicks Lose Again

    Maybe this has escaped the notice of the Knicks’ management, but their team cannot play defense. Gilbert Arenas took advantage of New York’s defensive ineptitude last night, scoring 46 points in just three quarters of the Wizards 110-89 victory. To make matters worse, Stephon Marbury reinjured his shoulder during the first half and missed the rest of the game. more ›

    A Bad Trip to Washington

    A Bad Trip to Washington

    The Giants had their chances, but they just couldn’t stop the Redskins when it mattered. Santana Moss went wild, scoring three TD’s, two of them on receptions over fifty yards, as Washington beat New York 35-20. The win keeps the Redskins in the playoff hunt and leaves the Giants facing a big game in Oakland next week if they want to win their division. more ›

    Putting a Stop to Livan and the Nats

    Putting a Stop to Livan and the Nats

    The Mets won despite some Bad News Bear-like action on the basepaths. Gothamist has seen softball leagues with better baserunning. With the bases loaded and no outs in the 6th inning and a chance to blow the game open. While they did manage to score 3 runs, it seemed like there was a chance for many more. Ramon Castro was thrown out at first base for the 1st out after a ball hit David Wright in the back. Livan Hernandez, who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time, out of position and backing up the catcher in of the plate, picked up the ball and threw out Castro at first as he rounded the bag. The other two outs came on a double play to Jose Guillen in right field. Miguel Cairo hit a fly ball to short right field that Guillen caught and doubled up Marlon Anderson with. more ›

    Mets Fall Short

    Mets Fall Short

    A 9th inning rally by the Mets put their only runs on the game, but was stopped short when Brian Daubach flied out to end the game with the tying run at 3rd. Gothamist has no idea why Willie Randolph turned to Daubach, who is hitting a stellar .087, and not Miguel Cairo who was on deck when the final out was made. more ›

    Yanks Continue to Beat Up on O's; Contreras in Florida

    Yanks Continue to Beat Up on O's; Contreras in Florida

    7 games vs. the Orioles, 70 runs and 7 wins. Yankee management has got to be thinking, "can we schedule some more games with these guys?" Last night the Yankees jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead on an Alex Rodriguez home run in the 1st inning. Mike Mussina, making his first start since he injured his groin 10 days ago, got off to a rocky start, but managed to pick up the win. Mussina gave up a three run home run to Miguel Tejada in the first inning, but settled down after that. The Yankees never looked back. A-Rod added another home run in the 7th inning and Derek Jeter had a homer in the 2nd, as the Yanks posted yet another win over their American League East rivals. Tonight Jon Lieber tries to get his 6th win of the year, as the Orioles counter with Erik Bedard. more ›
