To the 5 Boroughs
(Sip will not be contained today. Below find pieces about the Braves' odd negotiating strategy with Tom Glavine, and another about the Yankees' winning bid for Kei Igawa.)
NEW KNICKS! OLD GIANTS!!! COOP'S RANGERS!
Not sure if anyone else caught it, but the Knicks topped LeBron and the Cavs last night. A lot of good came out of this game.
Eddy Curry and Q played their best games of the season. The Knicks held LeBron under 30 despite playing zero team defense. Oh, and, Nate Robinson officially cemented himself as a circus act with ihs failed showboat dunk attempt.
But these Knicks are so back!
After being embarassed in a home and home with the Bulls, the early jokers of the Leastern Conference, they go on to beat the East's best.
It doesn't make a lot of sense.
But neither does the NBA.
I'm with the boys in Section 423. Give me Balkman and I will give you my heart back.
That guy is the rarest combination of terrible basketball player and ugly dude. I mean, at least Sam Cassell can shoot the basketball.
NEW GIANTS!
When the New Mets sit so far out of the spotlight (the biggest thing happening to them is a potential movie starring Jose Reyes and Jake the Snake Roberts: "Black Hammer White Lightning II"), my attention shifts to the men in Blue.
I wrote earlier in the week how this team has fallen apart.
Pretty obvious there, Sip.
But last night I saw an amazing stat: Over the last three seasons the Giants are 21-10 in games where Michael Strahan plays and 1-10 in games that he doesn't.
Stated simply, they are an 11-5 with the Gap tooth captain and the worst team in football without him.
The focus of this GIANT meltdown has been Eli, Plax, Coughlin and even Tiki opening his mouth.
But, as much as we New Yorkers hate excuses, there has been little mention of the unjuries.
Osi 5 Games. Strahan 3 games. Amani 3 games, Big Luke 2 and change.
It's not just a coinicidence that without their 2 pro bowl ends, the pass rush has stalled.
And it's no coincidence that without our left tackle and #2 possesion receiver our offense has stalled, especially considering that the backups are Big Bobby Whitfield and Tim Carter.
The Giants' strength on D was always their pass rush, which has been non-exsistent. On offense they had balance.
I really think a Giant turnaround can take place. We need to get lucky this week against Dallas and get some of our boys back.
Most importantly to me, though, I HATE the Eli bashing. It is the epitome of New York fans being fickle.
He's had a rough stretch. The kid is young. We all expected Montana this year and through 8 games we were very happy.
He's had a bad stretch. Take a look at Big Ben and then just calm your horses.
This kid will be back and we will all love him again.
VCD,
Sip
Oh, and the Rangers lost in a shootout the other night. GET THE PUCK TO BEUKEBOOM!

Eli is buttcheeks , bro. We agree to disagree.
A'ight, they're not *my* Rangers Sippy. I told you - I am no longer emotionally invested in hockey anymore.
I thought they won in a shootout the other night though. Shows you how much I follow them now
