All New York teams could make playoffs except Yankees, Mets

Here is something that New York should not have in common with the rest of the country, but suddenly does: The end of summer is marking the beginning of the sports calendar.

All five of our NBA and NHL teams made the playoffs in the spring for the first time since 1994. The Giants are coming off their first playoff win since the 2011 season. The Jets are the belle of the preseason ball.

That makes seven teams with some degree of relevance starting their seasons between now and late October.

The two we have playing games right now are relevant only for their failings.
