This Week on The Blog

Alright, we've arrived at another momentous week on the blog.  Let's take a look.

Rangers:  The Rangers need to win 8 more games.  And they'lll start on the second half of their mission in just over 2 hours.   We should know pretty early what the style will be.  Will the Lightning try to smother the Rangers like the Pens and Caps did.  Or will they try to bet their skill againt the Rangers' skill?   Yesterday, it looked like Boyle would play, and there is some hope that MZL will be back at some point.  Tampa beat up on the Rangers a few times before the Rangers really got going.  Let's hope they get their payback.

Knicks: Finally, the NBA Draft lottery is happening on Tuesday.  The Knicks will pick no lower than 5th, with a 19% chance of winning the lottery.  Let's hope they do.  There's some thought that they will trade down for multiple ones if they don't end up in the top two or four.  They do need players, so that might not be a bad idea if they're out of luck.

Yankees:  The Yanks have been heading for the tank over the past few days.  Their inconsistent offense is catching up with them, and they may have to re-figure middle relief.  On the plus side, Tanaka will start his rehab assignment

Giants: The Giants will start their OTA's this week, leading up to their full squad mini-camp.   We'll see what kind of news they give us.

So that's pretty much it.  The Rangers have 8 more games to win.  The Knicks will discover their pick.  The Yanks might re-shuffle a bit.  And the Giants will be out on the field with the picks and UDFA's.   Big week.  And I hope it's a great one for all of you.

Shane Greene has an elbow issue. Looks like Whitley may also have a torn ucl and will require TJS.

Capuano (yuck) will fill his role for the time being.

I only saw Ramirez face 2 batters last night but his overall line looks ugly. Pretty much same for everyone else in the pen last night.

Let's go RANGERS!

Pitchers cannot be relied on, especially young ones. If the Yankees weren't so avowedly pitching centric, I would be more optimistic about them.

I think we may end up seeing Judge this season.

I'd rather see Heathcott if Beltran continues to falter. Don't want to rush Judge, though he probably needs to be in AAA.

Stinks for Greene and Whitley. Capuano likely holds it down only until Nova is ready.

@BryanHoch: Yankees announce the roster move: RHP Bryan Mitchell recalled, RHP Jose Ramirez optioned to @swbrailriders.

Stinks that he'll only hold things down until Capuano gets here.

So Collins wanted warm weather and someplace close to home.
