Time to gloat and do the Snoopy dance over the Yankees sweeping the Mets
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 6/29/2009 — I guess I should be all empathetic and make murmuring noises to Squawker Jon about how I feel bad for him that his Mets got swept by the Yankees.

The Status of the Mets
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/29/2009 — Judging from this past weekend, it's not very good.

Funny Guys
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/28/2009 — The only enjoyment last night's game seems to have provided is a bunch of really ridiculous looking photographs of the Yankees making merry all over our back yard.
