- Mets 3 Colorado 0: Finally this team is playing the way the fans expected. Make it eight-straight after Saturday’s victory and even Pedro’s early exit couldn’t dampen the mood at Shea. The Rockies only managed one hit against four Mets’ pitchers and every regular in the lineup got a hit.
Pedro is going to be ok, it sounds as if Jerry Manuel was just being protective. And, it looks like the Mets are going to be ok too. The winning streak has brought them to only a ½-game out of first. Too bad the All-Star Break is going to stop what is the hottest team in baseball right now.
- Yankees 9 Toronto 4: If you can figure out the Yankees’ offense, more power to you. Most days it is totally MIA, then today it erupts for nine runs. Derek Jeter got things started with a leadoff homer, but Toronto scored four runs in the first. The Yankees matched that tally in the second and added a three-spot in the third to take an 8-4 lead. A-Rod hit his 537th career home run, passing Mickey Mantle and New York had an easy day at the park, a rarity these days.
- Liberty 74 Detroit 64: New York stormed to victory by outscoring the Shock 23-7 in the fourth quarter. Shameka Christon had 19 points to lead the Liberty.

Before we commend anyone's offense (in the NY v. Tor. game) let's note that almost as much scoring resulted from defensive bungling than effective offense. I listened to the game on the radio and it was ridiculous by professional standards. Thirteen runs were scored, but only 7 were earned runs to the respective pitchers, as both teams committed two fielding errors apiece that resulted in an additional six runs.
That's not an offensive barrage. That's a defensive catastrophe. I hope Girardi doesn't think his team has busted out of an offensive slump. He should be more concerned that his in- and outfield have succumbed to some lackadaisical disease that is only outmatched by the one plaguing Toronto's.
It wasn't so much an offensive explosion, as it was a tie game decided by one error that added an additional run to the Yanks' tally deciding the game in their favor by one botched play. That's not Champion-style.
RIP Bobby Murcer.

What do I win?
The Mets now look great.I guess the problem really was Willie. Can they hang in? Time will tell.
