- Yankees 8 Baltimore 5: Nothing comes easy at the end of the year. The Yankees fell behind 2-0 before rallying for a 5-2 lead. But, Phil Hughes was shaky and had to be lifted in the sixth as the Orioles threatened. Edwar Ramirez managed to end that threat, but the Orioles rallied in the seventh and Luis Vizcaino had to come in and snuff out that rally. Kyle Farnsworth created problems in the ninth and an overused Mariano Rivera had to bail him out and end the game.
On the plus side, the offense had a great night, pounding out 13 hits and drawing 7 walks. Plus, Boston and Detroit lost, which means the Yankees are now 3-1/2 games back in the AL East and ahead in the wild card. But, on nights when Joba isn’t available, the Yankees’ bullpen looks lost, so the biggest question is what will happen to the “Joba Rules” come playoff time?
- Washington 12 Mets 4: It’s a little late in the year, but Willie Randolph might want to send his pitchers out for fielding practice. Two bad plays by the Mets pitchers factored into this game, as did four errors by the Mets. Coming on the heels of a six error game, the defense is suddenly a cause for concern and with Philadelphia winning again, the Mets need to wake up quickly.

What's with Farnsworth? Can he throw a strike?
I almost feel bad for the guy when he faces boos from the stadium assembled every appearance.
As for the Joba rules, they're bound to be relaxed a bit come playoff time, but not by much: he's not a novelty act anymore...the opponents are figuring out how to hit him. You don't think that the Yankees' playoff opponents won't study the videos frame by frame to find the key to hit him. At this point, we've got six guys who can go five to seven innings.
Then, Vizcaino, Joba and Mariano one each. I'm pleased to say my recent comments about Yankee pitching have proved to be premature. Let's just hope Joe avoids the temptation to pitch Henn or Farnsworth from here on.
I feel bad for Farny too, and then i realize he's getting paid a lot of money to suck like that.
I SEE YOU, RED SOX. WE'RE COMING!
They didn't reaaally ralley. Those 2 runs came in the first inning. That's not really a rally to gain runs after the first inning.
I SEE YOU, RED SOX. WE'RE COMING!
You might want to worry about the Angels or Indians first.
Philly will win the NL East
nobody cares about the indians. Just the angels and their socal "we're not boston so we'll lull you into a false sense of complacency and then pounce" brand of baseball.
