Two Fridays ago we had an unimaginable loss against the Yankees and the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup. Last night we had a Yankee blowout against the Mets and the Islanders taking significant steps to rebuild their franchise, while the Rangers continue to swim in mediocreville.
Aside from some walks here and there this game was not on Mike Pelfrey. You had to feel bad for him in that second inning when bloop after bloop followed error after error.
This game was so in the bag that I feel asleep at 4-1 in the 7th. The eyes opened at 9-1 in the 9th; what a surprise. Early in the game at 4-0 all you wanted was a hit off C.C. Sabtathia, who was perfect through four.
Brett Gardner is slowly ascending the hate list.
As for the NHL Draft (another night of channel flipping during a Met-Yankee game), this was the first time in years you saw some joy from Islander fans. I like it- it's good for the rivalry. If the Islanders move to Kansas City, where's the fun in that? What would become of Ranger-Island- rather, Rangers-Chiefs games then? It would be no different than Rangers-Nashville.
Stay away from Dany Heatley. The guy run himself out of two cities AND has a bonus payment of four million due in addition to his seven million salary this season? Leave Ottawa with that headache unless they want Wade Redden back.
