This Week on the Blog

This past week showed us again why the Yanks should have kept their powder dry at the deadline, it also showed some Giants progress, the Rangers naming their roster for Traverse City, and KP with a spectacular performance for Latvia in the FIBA Worlds.  Bad but not awful.  Let's hope this week is better.

Giants:  The Giants are making their cumpulsory cuts to 53 today, and they already cut camp standout, Tyler Rudolph. There shouldn't be too many more surprises, though they could grab someone or ones off of waivers, as well as pursue a trade or two. Tomorrow, they can start putting together their first practice squad. We'll see how fluid things are over the next few days.

Yanks: The Yanks continually forget how to hit, and now they have a power outage that is seeing other teams hit homers in the friendly confines but not the Yanks.  Garcia was a mistake. Gray was a clock thing and they have him for awhile, but he's shown himself to be a David Cone type guy, where you wonder how he can be so unhittable in one moment and so careless in the next,  he's got become that conisistent ace or ace-lite he can be when he's right.

Knicks: KP had 27 and 6 last night, with two big putbacks, one of which has scorched the internet this morning. Willy and Kuz also have games coming up. And they still haven't moved Melo, who's been working out in NYC with Frank and THjr. So there they are.  Horny, who may have been the source of KP's early bail out last year, is supposed to go over to watch him soon.  We'll see if that happens. This is a situation that could get nasty, and you know the FO loves David Blatt.

Rangers: The Rangers still haven't added a C, but their motoring along as they always do.  Travers is a week or two away, and then camp.  I'm a little surprised we didn't see more turnover, but this could still be, very much a transition year.

So there it is,  Giants are forming, Yanks are collapsing, KP is good, and the Rangers are fine. Have a great week!
