Yesterday was sure filled with New York sports goodness. First, the Jets recovered fom last week's 41-0 fiasco and beat the Dolphins 20-7. Truth be told they did nearly blow a 20-3 lead and the Fish were a missed field goal away from sending the game to overtime, but a win IS a win, after all, and is not a trivial thing in football. The Jets are now 3-3 on the season and face Detroit and Cleveland before their bye. They actually have a reasonable chance of going 5-3 into their bye, which is pretty neat considering the diminished expectations of this season.

Of course, of even greater import is the Mets victory over the Cardinals last night. Even though we were pitching our worst pitcher, Oliver Perez played like a journeyman. In this our-pitcher-that-sucks versus your-pitcher-that-sucks battle, the Met bats came alive and battered the Card's bullpen finishing 12-5. The series is now tied at 2-2 and a victory tonight would be nice. It would insure that the Cards would need to win two at Shea to take the series while the Mets would only need to win one at home. Unfortunately, tonight's game could be delayed or cancelled due to weather.

Tonight we also have the Bears playing the other Cardinals tonight on MNF. Base10 has some fantasy action in this one since he has the Bear's defense and a receiver playing. Long live sports!
