Base10 is on an outing at Monmouth. It is, unfortunately, a pretty dreary day so far. Base10 got some good photos and Mrs. Base10 hit a $128 exacta. (She's probably going to want open a telephone account now).

Actually, Mr. And Mrs. Base10 are not gamblers in any way shape or form, but it is an interesting day. Base10 might even put a few bucks on the Travers later.

In other sports news, the Mets finally lost a game, being beaten by Philly 3-4. Last night's game marked the return of Brian Bannister to the starting rotation. He looked good after he settleds in.

The Jets lost to the Giants 13-7 last night, too. Pennington actually looked pretty good moving the ball, but it's fair to say both teams had trouble putting points on the board. Jets "D" looks good indeed.

Finally, Venus Williams has withdrawn from the US Open due to a wrist injury that has affected her most of the year.

Things are going well for Base10. And let's just say he'll soon be "coming out of the closet" of anonymous blogging with a brand-spanking-new blog covering his professorial responsibilities. Soon, my dear readers. Soon. Please be patient.
