The Mets completed a sweep of the Atlanta Braves last night with a 5-4 win.  Slugger Carlos Delgado went 5-for-5 at the plate, driving in 3 runs including the walk off game winning single in the 9th.  Delgado’s unexpected late career production has all but assured he and his graying goatee a lucrative deal with Just For Men.

The Yankees were absolutely walloped last night by the Blue Jays in a 14-3 loss in which starter Sidney Ponson gave up 7 runs and was pulled in the third inning.  Let’s just hope Ponson, who has had a history of off the field behavior issues, doesn’t cope with the loss the Irabu way.

The International Olympic Committee has ruled there is not yet sufficient proof that a Chinese gymnasts in question were not of proper age to compete, but that they have asked for additional documents to verify their age.  Their suspicion has been spurred on by the revelation of a team-wide endorsement of Huggies Pull-Ups only months prior to the games.

The six U.S. athletes who appeared on the same television program leading up to the Olympics all failed to live up to their expectations of success.  So was the Olympic miniseries “A Shot at Glory” a curse to those who participated?  Maybe next time around they should call it “A Shot at Embarrassing Yourself on a Global Scale” and the athletes will fair better.
