This Week on the Blog

The Yanks kicked ass all week, the Giants drafted well, the Rangers backed themselves into a corner, and the Knicks did nothing.  This week is now do or die for the Rangers, and buiness as usual for our other three teams.  Let's take a look.

Yanks: I might have to start writing up all the wins again, because our plan is working. Not only does Aaron Judge have Babe Ruth's old job - HE'S DOING IT!!!! The sky is the limit for humble, team first kid, and it's been a joy to watch.  The crazy part is that Bird can do it, too, and we've already seen Sanchez do it, and he'll be back next weekend.  And let's spend a moment on Severino, who's falling right into the ACE track we saw for him two years ago.  Kudos to the kid for coming back so strong.  I said a few weeks ago, because the team is so young, it could be great at home and have trouble on the road. They are 11-1 at home and hat trouble on the road, till they got to Boston.  Who are these guys?  How fun is this?

Rangers: The Rangers are down 2-0 to an inferior team, and Hank has fallen back into what was his regular season form. Yesterday's loss was unforgivable, and they have literally backed themselves into a series of do or die games.  We'll see if they can bounce back -- and if by doing so they run out of gas for the next series. It's good that they're getting two days off between last night's dumpster fire and Tuesday's game three.

Giants: The Gmen had a typical Giants draft. Typical in the sense, that it looks like they have once again taken a mold breaking, playmaking athlete in the first round. The pick of Engram is just like their picks of Odell, and JPP. They'll be applying a sublime talent to the H-back, move TE role. Frankly, I'd just send him to the receivers room, but they'll probably play around with some blocking at the line. He's contentious and will try hard there, but I'd rather see him blocking downfield for Odell, Sterling and Marshall, when he doesn't have the ball. Likewise, on screeens, where he's not the target. I''ll do a longer draft review in the next few days, but think of this pick as another JPP or Odell.  Because he is.

Knicks: the Knicks still haven't gotten together with KP, though one Asst. Coach Josh Longstaff is heading over to Latvia to help coach Team Latvia while KP is part of it. Apparently, it's good they didn't send Kurt Rambis, as KP is rumored to dislike him.

Alright, Monty's on the bump in about 90 minutes, so let's go, Yanks!  Have a great week everyone!
