- Yankees 6 Royals 3: At this point, the YES Network should just play a “ch-ching” sound everytime A-Rod steps up to the plate. After hitting a home run for the 5th-consecutive game on Sunday, A-Rod has 52 for the season, the most for a Yankee since Mantle and Maris hit 54 and 61 in 1961. He also has 138 RBI’s with 19 games left, which puts him in line to have the most RBI’s as a Yankee since Joe DiMaggio had 155 in 1948.
As for the game itself, pitcher Chien-Ming Wang picked up his 18th win with seven effective innings and Jorge Posada (maybe worth a “ch-ching” himself) went 2-for-5 with a huge 2-RBI double.
- Mets 4 Houston 1: Pedro looks like he is back, five innings, no runs and four K’s and Beltran and Alou provided the offense with 2 RBI’s each.
- At the US Open, Roger Federer won his fourth straight men's single title, defeating Novak Djokovic, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4. Djokovic had his chances in the match, having 7 set points, but couldn't capitalize on a single one - he was serving for the 1st set with 5 set points, but Federer saved each one. Federer becomes the first man since Bill Tilden to win four straight U.S. Championships. It's also his 12th career Grand Slam title, moving him to 2nd behind Pete Sampras for career slams in the open era.
- Brooklyn 8 Staten Island 4: A big error, some wild pitching and timely hitting propelled the Cyclones past the Baby Bombers.
- Patriots 38 Jets 14: The score was bad, but the spectacle of Jets’ fans cheering Chad Pennington’s injury was worse. Gothamist will have a full recap later this morning.
- Cowboys 45 Giants 35: Just keep praying...Eli is ok, Eli is ok….more later today.

Really, Gothamist, really?
Pedro comes back from rotator cuff surgery, a year ahead of when most pitchers, if not regular folk, come back from the procedure, and all you can give him, and the team, is a sentence?
This was the first sweep at home all season, and that barely gets a mention?
I really, really don't want to whine here, but there's a significant problem with the even-handedness of your sports reporting. I understand that you, and some would argue most New Yorkers, are Yankees fans, but that really doesn't give license for such bloated coverage of one team, while other teams--other sports even--are always relegated to the bottom of the post.
I do hope that you either have no journalism training, or that you are at the very least ashamed with your lazy and half-hearted attempt to cover sports not occurring at 161st and River Ave.
Amen, #1! Pedro hit a double and a single besides pitching a perfect 5 innings. Welcome home!!!
I'm glad to see it's not just me! Man, the bias in sports reporting on Gothamist is getting ridiculous. If you're going to say that you represent all the New York sports teams equally, then do us a favor and please do so. Otherwise, we should just start to call you the WCBS/YES online affiliate!
Correction: A-Rod has 140 RBI's as of today, not 138.

Really?! You do realize it was a rotator cuff, not Tommy John surgery. He went down last year and the initial prognosis was he would be out until at least the All-Star break this year. Given that the prognosis was slightly rose-colored to begin with, I'd say Pedro is right on schedule.
