This Week on the Blog

This week has started off well with a Giant win as they head into their bye.  Rangers play again later, and the Knicks start their regular season on Tuesday.  The Yanks haven't done anything dumb in awhile, and we're in pretty good shape.  Let's take a look.

Giants: The Giants just beat the Rams to move to 4-3. They're heading into a much needed bye.  Though they won today, the offense still looks like crap and Larry Donnell tried to give the game to the Rams by fumbling on the first possession.  He's got to go.  So does Brown, and that's all I'm going to say about that.  In general, they're still not getting a passrush, nor can they consistenly rush the football.  Beyond that they make too many undisciplined errors, and that does not reflect well on the new coach.  On the bright side, Landon Collins is starting to look like a pro-bowler.  He actually caught two balls today, and scored by returning the first one is a romp that saw him run about 60 yards on a 41 yard score.  DRC also had two picks, including one to ice the game.  They have a lot of work to do over the bye.


Yankees:  The Yankee kids are doing pretty well in Arizona, and Gleybar Torres looks like a future star.  Bird isn't playing first yet, but he's hitting. Reporters are already trying to pimp old players like Encarnacion to the Yanks, as well as naming every young pitcher as a trade target.  Let's hope the Yanks have a better plan than what's being guessed at.


Rangers: Jimmy Vesey had a break out game last night as the Rangers came back to beat the Caps, 4-2.  Vesey scored twice including the game winner and Pirri had his second, and Nash hit on an empty netter. They play the Coyotes later today, and let's hope they can keep it going. And they still need to trade for a defenseman.

Knicks:  The Knicks will start their season Tuesday against the Cavs.  It's unclear if Rose, who missed all that time, or Jennings will start at the point. Not exactly an ideal opponent to show how far they've come, but we should get some idea of how they will compete.   I have high hopes for the new coach.

And that's about it.  Congrat again to Michael on the new arrival.  I hope baby and eveveryone has a great week.   I think I'm going back to bed.
