This Week on the Blog

Alright, it was a great week for the Yanks and they've got to keep it going.   The Giants start today and they've got to get it going.  The Knicks and Rangers are holding informal workouts and they'll be getting there camps going soon.  Let's hope for another week of just wins

Giants: The McAdoo Era really begins in earnest as the Giants have travelled to Dallas to take on the symbols of all that is wrong with America.  Not really sure what the Giants are, yet, because Coach McAdoo seemed to be keeping everything underwraps and too vanilla during the preseason.  I don't think he's paranoid, but he really does seem to want to keep things like tendancies and who'll be calling the plays under wraps.  Does anyone really think we're gonna try to run right in a game that matters?  Meanwhile, the defense should be much, much improved and they're going to have to get off to a hot start.  The Giants have historically made most backups they've faced look like Unitas.   They can't do that today, they need to stop Dak early, or he'll be a legend by halftime.  Btw, I have nothing against that young man and was pissed when he went to Dallas in the 4th round.   We'll see who the playmakers are today.

Yanks:  Yankees just need to keep doing what they are doing.  The AAA and AA teams are all in the playoffs.  Charleston may be, too. So the whole organization has been improved and energized by that was done in July.  I wasn't counting on playoffs this year, but it would be an absolute benefit for the kids.

Rangers:  The Rangers still have to trade for D. Also, the Traverse City Tourney is starting soon, and I guess a few Rangers like Hank are gonna play World Cup.

Knicks: Derrick Rose is sticking by his testimony.  Phil Jackson's latest talks have been cogent.  Can't wait for camp to start.

Have a great week, everyone.  Go Giants! Go Yanks!

I will be looking at 3rd efficiency for the defense, and an ability to run the ball on offense.

Didi's inability/unwillingness to walk greatly reduces his value.

Tate's fastball is just about back, however.

According to a Yankees talent evaluator, Tate's fastball has been holding at about 95.5 mph to 95 mph lately and has reached 96 mph. The evaluator added that he believes Tate will continue to add velocity as he tinkers with his mechanics.

Knick cap space largely comes down to their decision on Rose:

Sweeny Murti:
Mason Williams is being called up from AAA.
Aaron Judge likely done for season with the oblique strain suffered last night.

I would start him every day.

I'm seeing a lot of negativity about Derrick Rose. First, this is based on a civil suit not a criminal prosecution. Second, I have no idea what the facts are and my guess is neither do any Knick fans.

So, somewhere between zero tolerance for rapist or abusers and accepting every allegation at face value, lies the correct path.

I don't pretend to know how to strike the right balance here, at least not yet.
