Mets’ Pete Alonso loving Tampa homecoming: ‘Truly a blessing’
NY Post
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Pete Alonso in one sense is living the life of a normal working stiff this weekend.
And he’s loving it. The Mets first baseman and Tampa native (he still resides in the area) awoke in his own house Friday and drove to work. It was an odd feeling for somebody used to the grind of professional baseball life, in which hotels and buses on the road are the norm.
You don’t need to be a fortune teller — just a Giants fan well-versed in Murphy’s Law — to see the future headline now.
The Jets dropped their third straight game and eighth in their last nine on Sunday, a 26-21 loss to the Seahawks that sends them to 3-9 this season.
Bills fans maybe had a little too much fun in the snow Sunday night as Buffalo defeated the 49ers, 35-10.
The Mets have identified their next starting pitching project.
The Knicks reached the three-quarter pole of the basketball season Sunday night, and if they wanted to celebrate the occasion, they couldn’t have asked for a better patsy. Right now, the poor Pelicans are everyone’s favorite Homecoming Game, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram bedecked in sweaters and strapped to the injured list.
Christian McCaffrey left Sunday’s game with a knee injury after he suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury and it may be the reason his 2024 season ends.
Perhaps one day this current stretch, or this season, will represent a changing of the guard within the Rangers.
Aaron Rodgers blows out 41 candles on Monday.
Incompetence against the East continued for the Nets, as did their misery against the Magic.
There is still fight in New York.
