Equine and Human Athletes

I don't normally comment on sports, but I have to put in my two cents' worth about the Triple Crown. How could Big Brown win so decisively at the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, only to come in dead last at Belmont? Usually, two out of three ain't bad, but not when you're vying to make your horse the first horse to win the Triple Crown in thirty years.

You did a heck of a job, Brownie. :-O

Among human athletes, baseball's New York Mets are living up to their reputation for sucking. They start out great and choke at the end, losing unloseable games. Ironically, they play like the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 World Series, who lost that series to . . . the Mets.
