The Worst Possible Outcome
The beleagered Mets were swept last night by the Dodgers 9-1. The Mets are off today and definitely need to do a little soul searching. The Mets have now lost 10 of their last twelve and face the Yankees on Friday. The Yankees have won eight straight. The only thing that's saved the Mets is the fact that the Braves are as bad as we are right now and as a result the Mets have maintained a two-game lead in the division. The bad side of this is that the Phillies are also not only two games back while Florida is still in the running at five back. The Mets are doing everything they can to insure a pennant race.

In other sports news, reports indicate that Yankee Jason Giambi may be suspended by Commissioner Bud Selig as a result of his steroid remarks. For those who do not recall, Giambi basically admitted steroid use and said baseball owes an apology to the fans. I personally thing this is the wrong approach to take. Giambi should be praised for being honest. A ham-fisted apporach to this would only discourage players from coming forward. One thing Selig should consider is an amnesty for players who admit to past use so long as they disclose what they know publically. After all, steroid use in the past was pretty much encouraged by the owners so long as nobody got caught.

Golf fans should note that the US Open starts today as well. Enjoy!
