Good morning, New York sports fans! Settle in with your morning cup of joe and tour the regional sports scene with us today.
↵Three Post-Season Questions For The New York Yankees: The status of Jorge Posada, the starting pitching and the backup catcher are among the questions. Bartolo Colon might have helped answer one of them Thursday night as he got shelled by the light-hitting Tampa Bay Rays in a 15-8 Yankee loss.
↵New York Mets Ready To Make Changes To Citi Field Dimensions: Hooray! The real question is, why did the Mets build a stadium with dimensions that rival Yellowstone National Park in the first place? The Mets, by the way, damaged the St. Louis Cardinals' post-season hopes on Thursday with a six-run ninth-inning, rallying for an 8-6 victory.
↵NBA Lockout: League Set To Cancel Beginning Of Training Camp, Preseason Games: Well, NBA fans this is not good news. Expected, but not good. If you don't have a favorite NHL team you might want to get one.
↵Red Bulls' Rafael Marquez Calls Out Teammates: Marquez basically said he is better than his teammates, and all of the defensive problems the team has had are on them, not him. Not a good idea, and there is some strong sentiment that he isn't right about that, either.
