This was a bad sports weekend. Newcastle, who are without a manager right now, played Manchester United and were defeated 6-0. Ouch! Of course the score could have been slightly different if Michael Owen's goal had been permitted, but he was called offside. He was not offside. It was very unfortunate.

Then today the Blues played Vancouver in St. Louis and lost in a shootout after coming back and tying the game in the third period. I hope that means that St. Louis will win when they come to Vancouver in 10 days. db and I will be at that game. Very exciting.

Oh well there's always another game. As for Newcastle, I hate to say it but I don't think things could get worse at this point.
