Another Loss
While Base10 was heartened by the Mets win against the Twins on Monday, they lost last night to Minnesota ace Johan Santana. Santana pitched a complete game shutout in a 9-0 win over the Mets. We fans hope that tonight's game which pits a hot Oliver Perez against a struggling Scott Baker will go the other way. Click here for a preview.

In other sports news, the Wimbledon seedings were announced. Hardin is the number one woman (with Base10 heartthrob Maria Sharapova as number two). Roger Federer is the men's number one seed. You can read all about it here. Play starts on Monday.

The Jets just completed a minicamp and the news is mostly good. According to reports, Chad Pennington looked pretty good. The biggest distraction so far is the Pete Kendall situation. Kendall wants to renegotiate his contract or be released. So far the Jets haven't indicated they will do so (bear in mind Kendall did sign a multi-year deal last year). Finally, in an interesting side note, the Jets met with several soldiers from Fort Bragg during the last day of camp. The soldiers even participated in some drills. Interestingly, Coach Mangini cancelled the last minicamp workout instead opting for "off-site teambuilding" with the army guys. Base10 takes this to mean that they went out drinking with the soldiers. Good for them!
