- Yankees 4 Red Sox 3: Boston will still win the AL East and will probably have the best record in all of baseball, but the Yankees have shown that they can beat them when it counts. After starting the season 1-5 against Boston, New York won the season series by going 9-3 in the final 12 games.
Sunday’s win was a flashback to the old days. Derek Jeter had the big hit, Roger Clemens had a great start and Mariano Rivera got the save. The win was huge for New York as it kept the Yankees 2-1/2 games ahead of Detroit with 13 left to play.
- Phillies 10 Mets 6: What we do know is that the Mets don’t want to face the Phillies in the NLCS. After all, they lost 12-of-18 against them in the regular season, including the last seven when it mattered. But, that doesn’t mean they are going to lose the division. Despite getting swept this weekend, the Mets still have a 3-1/2 game lead with two weeks to go and almost all of their remaining games against Florida and Washington.
- Green Bay 35 Giants 13: If you see the Giants’ defense please alert the authorities. It is considered missing and extremely harmless. More on this game later today in Gothamist.
- Baltimore 20 Jets 13: One question, would Chad have tied things up? More on this game later today.

It is not guaranteed that Boston will win the AL East. It's going to be close. The Yankees own the Red Sux.
The Mets need pitching.
Fire Coughlin.
The Jets need to win next week against Miami and turn their season around. They will need to win 10 of the next 14 games to make a run for the playoffs.
who the hell is writing sports for gothamist?
the good ol days? jeter still has clutch hits, clemenes is still good considering his age and no one should question rivera.
and boston "will still" win the division?
as a red sox fan, i'm nervous. we just can't seem to beat you guys reliably. we should have won at least 2 out of 3 here, arguably all three, and instead we walk away with one and fears for the future. i do think we'll take the division, but it doesn't matter. i don't think serious fans of either team really care about the division at this point. you think torre is losing sleep about that? no way. it's the playoffs that matter. if francona cares at all, it's just so his team won't be demoralized going into the playoffs.
i think it was fair of you to liken this to the good old days in some ways. although jeter is still great, clemens and rivera are not what they were. even tonight, rivera started with a lead-off walk and eventually loaded them up, so the game really could have gone either way in the 9th, which is not something you used to say about rivera.
why the fuck would you want to win the division???? 5 of the last 7 teams who won the championship have been the wild card. It' s better for the yankees to be the underdog.
It' s better for the yankees to be the underdog.
It's more that the wild card team is usually the hottest team in baseball.
They need to stop broadcasting games on ESPN. Those idiots are so completely biased against the yankees. In that tense bottom of the 9th, they showed a graphic with 'yankees blown leads at Fenway'. WTF?!? All the while verbally fellating Shilling (who did admittedly pitch a good game). Fuck ESPN!
Well considering ESPN would be perfectly content only covering NY and New England's teams (yanks, sox, giants, pats - forget about the mets or jets) you should feel lucky that they care about your games at all.
Espn gives a cold shoulder to the rest of the nation's sports teams which is a shame considering how mediocre the pats and giants and yankees are right now.
This always cracks me up... as a Yankee fan, I always think that ESPN is Latin for Yankee Haters, then I hear from fans of other teams things like "are you f***ing kidding? ESPN loves the Yanks, they love the East, they never give the (Sox, Mets, Angels, Indians, insert team here) a break!"
We always like to think we're relatively unbiased, but let's face it, we're not.
And BTW, I still think Miller and Morgan are ridculously anti-Yankee, though now I'm sure that's just my opinion.
The Yankees own the Red Sox? Winning 10 of 18 over a season does not owning a team make. Sure, the Yanks own the Red Sox right now over the last 12 games, but these things change quickly... as a Yankees fan, let's hope the streak continues if they meet the Sox in the postseason.
What? No mention that Joba's unearned run streak had ended?
As a Yankee fan I would like to see the Yanks win the division. And It doesn't matter if they get the wild card because they are the hottest team right now. Pitching will carry the Yanks to the World Series.
The Yankees have won 4 of the 6 series this season and 4 in a row. The Red Sux haven't won a series against the Yankees since April when the Yanks were a mess. That is owning a team.
The combined age for the starting pitchers (Clemens 45, Schilling 41)last night was 86 years. Is that a record?
#11, it's close but Satchel Paige (59) and Bill Monbouquette (29) faced off in 1965.
