The Mighty Mets, on a comeback from a crushing 3-1 series loss to Philly, showed that they can still play baseball. In spite of losing Pedro, the Mets swept the Rockies in a three-game series over the weekend. Of particular not was El Duque's day yesterday where he got two hits and the first stolen base of his career. Of serious concern are reports that Tom Glavine has a blood clot in his shoulder that may--repeat, may--require season ending surgury.

Base10 didn't see if the Bosox finally won a game against the Yankees last night. He was watching the colts sacrificially slaughter the seahawks in preseason action and saw that the Red Sox ggame was in a rain delay. I'll check later.

The Jets got their first win of the preseason on Saturday. Presumptive starting QB Chad Pennington missed the game for non-football reasons so Paterick Ramsey got the start. Let's just say he wasn't awful against a pretty good Redskin's defense. I was pleasantly surprised to see some pretty good ground yardage from Derrick Blaylock. Perhaaps the RB situation isn't so bad after all. The Jets "D" looked pretty good, but remember this is Washington's anemic offense. Mike Westoff's special teams looked good as well, with rookie RB Leon Washington scoring on a 67 yard kick return. In other Jets news, they acquired RB Kevan Barlow from San Fransisco for an undisclosed 2007 draft pick. The RB situation is looking up! Barlow had a great year in 2003, but struggled in 2004 and 2005 behind what was possibly the worst ofensive line in football. Considering that the Jets have made some srtrides in their line, Barlow might do pretty well here. His stock certainly went up in my fantasy league.

In golf news, Tiger handily won the PGA championship. Base10 didn't watch but know it puts him closer to Jack Nicholas's record.
