How did that taste, Dback fans?

Oh, the humiliation of being swept at home by an inferior team! The Dbacks had everything going their way -- already annointed as winner of the NL West; Zito pitching against the Big Unit; Justin Upton finally out of an 0-for-28 slump (ended against Sanchez last night); the Unit tying Clemens for No. 2 on the all-time strikeout list; and a 3-2 lead in the 8th against one of the worst offenses in MLB.

Instead, the Snakes pen gagged away the game with Fred Lewis forcing in a run with a walk and Randy Winn hitting his second homer of the game. It was so delicious that even an incompetent fool like Bruce Jenkins couldn't mess up the write-up.

The Dodgers also gagged away their game to the Mets, 8-4, and are on a 4-game losing streak. They got done in again by Fernando Tatis, the guy who hit two grand slams off them in the same inning in 1999.
