This was a good weekend for those of us here at The Pasty Quail. The Dawgs rolled over Ole Miss here in Athens. Of course, the Gators lost too, which is always a news item as far as we're concerned.

In other sports news, the New York Metropolitans completed their historic collapse Sunday evening, losing a 7 game lead over the final 17 games of the season to miss the playoffs altogether. After a win over the Braves in Atlanta on 9/12, the Mets lost 12 of their final 17, including being swept by the Phillies and losing 5 of 6 games against division basement-dwelling Washington. The Phillies end up with the division title, and the Mets get to sit at home and wonder how you can spend $116,115,819 (third highest payroll in the major leagues) and not even make the playoffs.

Truly, it has been a while since so many of The Pasty Quail's least favorite teams all tasted defeat the same weekend. For all of you Gators and Mets fans out there: Your tears are so yummy and sweet...
