NYC Sports Fans: A Spoiled Bunch
Even Spike is spoiled...although, being a Knicks fan does mean he's suffered too.
New York City is considered the center of the universe. Ask any native New Yorker, they’ll be all too happy to tell you. It is a city where you can do almost anything, see almost anything, eat almost anything, and meet almost anyone. Choices are abundant here. And, for the most part, that is a great opportunity.
Until it comes to sports.
Let’s look at all the teams in the New York Metro area. For sake of argument, the New York Metro area will consist of teams that are geographically located within New York City (all five boroughs), on Long Island, and in the eastern New Jersey area (the Meadowlands, specifically). Baseball fans side with either the New York Yankees or the New York Mets. Football fans can pick between the New York Giants or the New York Jets (neither of which play in NY, mind you). Hockey fans hit the trifecta with the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils. And let’s not forget about basketball fans who can either root for the New York Knicks or the New Jersey (for now) Nets (expected to move to Brooklyn for 2012-2013 season).
Red Sox Wanted Mets Catcher Barajas
From Mark J. Miller, Yahoo Sports:
Even though Victor Martinez just returned from the disabled list and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in a 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim yesterday, the Boston Red Sox are looking to add a catcher before the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline passes and the team had discussions with the New York Mets about bringing catcher Rod Barajas to New England, according to WEEI.
The Sox were offering reliever Ramon Ramirez for the catcher, WEEI reports, but that now appears to be off the table since Barajas went on the disabled list yesterday.
Ramirez, who has a 4.69 ERA, is making $1.55 million this year and will have salary increases for the next two seasons.
