R.A. Dickey and All-NBA Team Voters: Stock Down


If R.A. Dickey's stock couldn't go further down, he gave us reasonable evidence to do so today. After the Amazin's earned a nice win on Friday against the Astros, a series they desperately need to take, who else but R.A. Dickey would pitch an awful outing when he needs a win. Dickey, winless since opening day, gave up eleven hits and six earned runs, in five and third innings pitched. The Astros, arguably the worst team in baseball right now, smacked R.A. silly today in Houston, as the Astros smacked two solo shots to blow the game wide open. Overall, with today's outing, R.A. Dickey doesn't look like his stock is going up anytime soon.
Next, the All-NBA Teams came out today with Amar'e Stoudemire making Second Team All-NBA, but Melo was nowhere to be found! Carmelo may have not his best year this year. However, it was worthy of recognition.  At least third team would be something. How in the world does LaMarcus Aldridge get a spot over Melo? I'll even say that Melo was better than Al Horford who made Third Team All-NBA. Almost every single statistic Anthony has is better than Aldridge, except rebounds and field goal percentage, but Carmelo plays in the three spot opposed to the four. In conclusion, for one to say that LaMarcus Aldridge is better than Carmelo Anthony, is nothing but pure garbage.
