- Mets 4, Phillies 3 (12 innings): This looked like it could be another bad loss to the Phillies. Aaron Heilman's best efforts to blow the game resulted in a two-run eighth, and the Mets had to go to extras despite leading most of the game. John Maine's strong start appeared in danger of being wasted. But Billy Wagner, Joe Smith, Scott Schoeneweis -- yes, even him -- and Jorge Sosa held the Phillies in check after the eighth. Then, in the 12th, Angel Pagan -- if that's not the best name in baseball, what is? -- singled home Jose Reyes (translation: Joseph Kings). The play at the plate was as close as could be, but umpire Ted Barrett's call was the the only voice that mattered. Reyes told SNY's Kevin Burkhardt after the game, "I have faith in Pagan." Mets fans may cross over to the dark side for the reserve outfielder who is hitting .370 while filling in for Moises Alou.
- Yankees 6, Royals 1: Even with the Royals playing good baseball, getting swept in Kansas City would not have been good news for the Yankees. Andy Pettitte pitched through a short rain delay and what had been a productive Royals lineup as the Yankees took the finale of the three-game series. Alex Rodriguez had a home run in the ninth inning, but Melky Cabrera went 2-for-5 with a homer and an RBI single to help the Yankees to their six-run effort. This season, that qualifies as an explosion. The team heads to Boston for a three-game set this weekend.

melky's already had two homers. not too shabby.
Reyes was tagged OUT! Cheap call by the ump who just wanted to go home.
Can't be tagged out, if he wasn't tagged on time.
Catcher's foot was in the way, but didn't make the tag until Reyes' hand touched home. VERY close play though
He was tagged out and on time. The ump wasn't in position to see the tag on the leg and only saw Reyes' finger touch the plate was came about a milisecond after the tag. I agree that it was an extremely close play.
Very close play.
Looks like a bit of a reputation call, though. Theyre's no way that play syhould've been that close. I don't know how bad of a jump Reyes got, if he stumbled rounding third(SNY didn't show his whole route), but he usually beats that eay.
I think Barrett a) surprised the play was that close and b)out of position.
Saw the replay about 15 times, still can't tell if Coste brushed Reyes' lower back before tagging him on the ass. Most of the replays indicate he did and Reyes was out.
Now, if they had called Coste for blocking the plate without the ball, that's another thin entirely. But no umps have the balls to call that.
I probably should've edited that:
"There's no way that play should've been that close"
"usually beats that play"
I'm a shitty typer.
I'm adding a Youtube clip of the play to the post. Crazy!
