Arizona Weekend Fun For Some...

If you happen to have spent it in Arizona, that is.

Which is exactly where the folks at MetsFanClub.com were for our 4th annual Mets Fan Club.com Open in Scottsdale, Arizona. Two nice days of golfing... relaxing by the pool and spa... an amazing trip to the Grand Canyon... then home to all the news of the weekend everyone missed.

And the news Met-wise was not good, losing 2 of 3 to the D-Backs, as in the 4th place Arizona Diamondbacks... as in the perpetually struggling Diamondbacks... as in the "no business to be beating the Mets on the road" Diamondbacks.

Good thing the season's over or Mets fans would be concerned over this. Friday night, the Mets lost 3-2 when Arizona scored an insurmountable run in the eigth. Remember the secret? Well, if you used it, you would have stopped watching this game after the second inning. Then on Saturday, the Mets scored 9 runs to start August off with a win thanks to Angel Pagan's grand slam and 5-rbi day. And yesterday's game featured a real sleeper as the team lost 5-2 in a game delayed by rain for almost 2 1/2 hours.

Trust me... the 2 1/2 hours were better served at the Grand Canyon. I can't believe the Mets lost even a game this weekend and I'm really shocked the Mets aren't looking to sweep in tonight's 4-game finale. The Mets are bad, but the Diamondbacks are really bad. When you need Nelson Figeroa to win for you to even out a home series against one of the worst teams in baseball, you may as well go to the Grand Canyon... and jump!
