Furn Talk

HEYYYYOOOOOOOO!!! Sorry for the abnormally long break, but welcome back to Furn Talk Volume 7. This is going to be my analysis on the postseason and potential moves during the offseason for both the Yankees and other MLB teams. So, unless you live under a rock, you know that the Yankees once again did not make it to the world series. If I am being honest, we did not deserve it. To the Yankees credit we steamrolled the Minnesota Twins in an ALDS series that looked like we were playing a minor league team. Houston moves on as everyone expects. On the National League Side the Dodgers are out again on a hot Washington Nationals team, and the Braves won against the Cardinals in 5 games. Then the CS comes about. The Red- Hot Nations and their stellar Starting Pitching Rotation, which we will get into later, got through the lackluster Cardinals. But on to the more important series. The Yankees were not the team of the Regular Season. They were stranding runners, striking out in big situ...

Furn Talk Vol. 6  12up image @lfurns11 Twitter @lfurneri11 instagram HEEEYYYYYOOOOOO!!!!! It is Volume 6 of Furn Talk. Was on vacation last week so I couldn’t get around to it. But this week we are back with some awesome MLB talk! So let’s jump right in!! In other MLB news the Cubbies outlasted the Buccos in the Little League Classic Sunday Night which was cool to see. Love to have in the interaction with MLB players and the youth. It’s great for the game. The NL East Divisional Race is heating up and it should be awesome to see how it plays out. The Indians are back climbing the leaderboards as they have made quite a comeback led by Fransisco Lindor and Some awesome Starting Pitching. But the Twins will still remain on top.  Chicago Tribune Image Amidst the high quality talent in the AL East, the Yankees are still the best Team in baseball. Talent and Power up and down the lineup. Now let’s dive into it. The Yankees in 2 weeks swept the O’s twice and split ag...

Furn Talk Vol.5 @lfurns11 Twitter @lfurneri11 Instagram HEEEYYYYYOOOOOO!!! Happy Monday and welcome back to Furn Talk, a place to get away from the awful stresses of the world and talk Yankees and Baseball! Gonna be a juicy one this week so many things to cover including the trade deadline. SOOOOO let's jump right in. Fox Sports Image Trade Deadline: Well this was a hard part of the week to swallow. After having a Starting Pitcher ERA of over 11. It seemed like a pretty apparent sign for Brian Cashman to get a solid Starting Pitcher at the deadline. But the asking price was too high for the Yankees. While it seemed to be looking alright, since the Dodgers, Astros, and Red Sox didn't make any moves, the Astros acquire Zack Greinke at the Deadline making easily the best Starting Rotation in the American League. The Astros now have Verlander, Greinke, Cole, and newly acquired Aaron Sanchez of the Blue Jays. 3 of those Names will finish Top-10 in AL Cy Young Voting. Grea...

Furn Talk Vol.4  7/2 9 /2019 @lfurns11 Twitter @lfurneri11 Instagram HEYYOOOOOO!!! Happy Monday to all my fellow baseball fans. Furn Talk, Vol. 4. Is coming your way RIGGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT NOW! There is a lot to talk about but  f irst we will talk about Non-Yankee News. As usual, we will talk about the Mets first. The Mets get Marcus Stroman for two pitching prospects their No.4 and No.6.  A ll I can say is ,  Why? The Mets just confirmed that one of their Starting Pitchers is leaving by getting Stroman. I guess the Mets are kind of close in the Wild Card Race, but they have a below .500 record. So, it doesn’t make sense to get one of the most highly coveted Trade Pieces in this upcoming deadline. It just does not make sense. The Mets NEED prospects and young talent ,  because the older former Yankees that the Mets keep getting just stink (Todd Frazier, Cano, Hechavarria, etc.). So, they give up  high  prospects to get an older Pitc...

Furn Talk Week 3 7/22/2019 @lfurns11 Twitter @lfurneri11 Instagram HEYYYOOOOO! Happy Monday Ladies and Gentlemen! This is Furn Talk Volume 3, here on this Monday Morning. But for us Yankees fans we are smiling ear to ear. More to come later. Boston Globe Picture In this week’s edition of Non-Yankee news, the NL East is an absolute disaster. The Mets lose on a pop-up walk off, ala Luis Castillo. Nothing new here, just another Mets season derailing right in front of our eyes. The entire division is an absolute joke aside from the Braves and Nationals (who would be destroyed if they played in any good division). This division has been lacking talent on both sides of the ball. In reality the only divisions worth even paying attention to are the Dodgers (Nobody else in the NL West matters), the AL West, and the AL East. I would bet a lot of money that the champion this year will come out of one of those divisions and the Dodgers. The NL Central has consistently underperfo...

Furn Talk Week 2  7/15/2019 @lfurns11 Twitter @lfurneri11 Instagram New York Post Image Ladies and gentlemen Happy Monday! You’re probably dragging through your workday today, but hopefully I can provide you with just a little bit of life to make your Monday a little bit better. In non-Yankee news, the Mets finally have something to cheer for, Pete Alonso has undoubtedly had the best first half of any Mets rookie ever, and arguably one of the best Met first halves ever. This kid is special, and I hope that he can actually bring some life to an organization that has been deprived of talent. Denver Post Image Maybe this can spark the Mets to start a run in the second half in a mediocre NL East division. Jeff McNeil will hopefully stay hot and if Syndergaard and DeGrom actually show up, this team is still in the hunt, despite a poor first half, and getting swept by the 2 nd  worst team in the MLB (Marlins). Now onto the Yankees. Folks, there is a proble...
