Ho-hum, another day, another brutal defeat. Hondo, whose Angel play was negated when The Good Weaver took a sick day, forked over more dead presidents yesterday when the Cards lost in the ninth to put the ever-growing nasty number at 765 nuxhalls.

What’s next for the Jets now that they have drafted Kenrick Ellis, who is facing 20 years for felony assault, and Scotty McKnight, who wrote in high school of a fantasy about mutilating his English teacher? Hondo hears Rex Ryan wants to spring ex-NFLer and convicted murderer Rae Carruth from jail on a work-release basis to bolster their WR corps . . . Stephen Tyler has a new memoir out in which he writes about his depraved life in rock and roll. Finally, a book by a rocker revealing his love of sex and drugs.
