Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac here with another Sports Report for ya! Baseball, basketball, football, and soccer in the news! But first!
Man…the Yankees without Aaron Judge are just…and pardon my language…but they are doo-doo without Number 99.
NEW YORK, NY – APRIL 25: Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees takes the field to start the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on April 25, 2018 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
The Yanks are 9 and 14 since the Captain went on the I.L. with an injury to his toe. Judge hurt his toe making a fanstastic catch the Dodgers a few weeks ago and has been missing ever since. And the Yankees look like a much different (and worse) team.

Martinez #28 of the Los Angeles Dodgers during the eighth inning at Dodger Stadium on June 03, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)
That’s just a winning percentage of .391. Furthermore, the Yanks have only scored 78 runs in 23 games…which is just an average of 3.39 runs a game. Awful.

If the Yankees don’t get Judge back soon…I’m starting to get nervous that this will be a lost season for the Bronx Bombers. Where have you gone, Aaron Judge? We need you back! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents!
NEW YORK, NY – AUGUST 13: Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees rounds the bases after he hit a home run in his first MLB at bat during the second inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on August 13, 2016 in the Bronx borough of New York City.

Mets Dominate Houston
The Mets crushed the Astros…11 to 1. Met starter Max Scherzer threw eight innings only giving up the one run…he picks up the win. Francisco Lindor hit his 14th home run of the season and had 5 RBI in the game. The Mets improve to 34 and 38 for the season.

Warriors' Green Enters Free Agency
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.6 million player option and will become a free agent. A four-time All-Star, Green has been the Warrior’s heart and soul in terms of defense and hustle. Thought he would retire a Warrior.

Antonio Brown Kicked Out Of Arena Football
Insane story here. Trouble-making star wide receiver Antonio Brown owns an Arena League football team…or at least he used to. Brown and his entire team have been kicked out of the Arena League for failing to pay dues. Brown is the same guy who took his jersey off during the game and was asked to leave by his coach. He’s also been suspended by the NFL for other infractions. No good.

Messi Becomes Ambassador For Saudi Arabia
Lionel Messijust signed a $25 million deal with Saudi Arabia’s tourism authority, and it stipulates that he can’t say anything that would tarnish Saudi Arabia’s reputation. He’ll be doing a few commercials, and posting about his trips to Saudi Arabia…he just won’t say anything bad or it’s curtains!
