The Jets lost last night, as you probably know. Just too much Peyton Manning, and not nearly enough non-Darrelle Revis secondary. Brian Bassett has a nice post-mortem.
The upside? Brett Favre lost, too.
James Kannengieser votes no on Ryan Garko. I was weighing the merits of Garko against Fernando Tatis when news of the Gary Matthews Jr. megadeal broke and sent my miserable little life into flux, but basically Garko is better at hitting lefties and looking like Gaston, and Tatis is better at everything else. So if the Mets are exclusively looking for a right-handed platoon bat for Murphy, Garko fits. If they value defensive versatility — as they should — Tatis fits better.
Howie Rose appreciates your punk rock demos. Put me down for not seeing that one coming.
The Knicks lost by 50 points last night. Yikes.
