ADDITION BY SUBTRACTION?

on the right-That's Amar'e

With Amar’e Stoudemire on the shelf for the balance of the season, it looks like it becomes solely Carmelo Anthony’s team. The overpaid superstar Stoudemire smashed his hand into a glass fire extinguisher door. This is a man who is earning $100 million for the Knicks, and his teammates are relying on to carry and lead them to the Promised Land.

But sometimes subtraction leads to addition, and in this situation that may be the case. Whether or not the Knicks can beat the Heat: history tells me they can! Without Stoudemire in the lineup, and Melo solo, the Knicks are 15-4 as a team.

I’m not saying that Amar’e didn’t make the Knicks a better team, he did make them better losers so to speak, and if you are being paid $100 million by your boss, you owe him good judgment, hard work and a winning attitude, not selfishness. With a club 12-game losing streak in the playoffs, tied as the worst record in the NBA history with the Memphis Grizzlies, the Knicks don’t need distinction, or setting a new record for futility.

Here is the question: Did Stoudemire slap what he thought was plastic because his team lost the game, or because he stunk with his nine shot attempts?

JUST LIKE WASHINGTON

Just like the jokers that occupy Congress the Washington National’s season is starting to come down to earth. With a 5-game losing streak and now everyone is back in the race. Can’t get excited this early in the season for any team. Injuries, getting cold at the plate and losing control on the mound all seem to take part in every team’s season in the course of the year.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE YANKEES?

They seemed to be on the verge of taking over the American League East after the Boston Series, and now are hanging on to playing just .500 ball! The Red Sox were buried and would never survive according to the media, and the Yankees would be the Yankees. Now the Sox are trialing the Yankees by just 2 games as of this writing!

That’s all I wrote, Folks!
