- Mets 9, Brewers 2: Wednesday was a good day for the players brought back in the Lastings Milledge deal. Ryan Church and Brian Schneider each went deep in a six-run first inning -- Church hit a grand slam -- as the Mets gave Oliver Perez a nice cushion. They didn't even make things interesting with their bullpen. Perez has piled up the walks in his recent starts, including five on Wednesday, but he's gotten away with it so far. The Mets get a day off and then a big series at Shea against Philadelphia.
- Yankees 8, Rays 4: Well, instant replay came, and it didn't cost Alex Rodriguez another home run. Even though he takes more flak than anyone on the team, Rodriguez is easily having the best season on the team. He's not the one making $20 million to put up league average offense and some of the worst defense in baseball (Derek Jeter). Lost in the shuffle of the Yankees' late season demise are the Yankees' three wins in Carl Pavano's three starts.
- At the U.S. Open, Serena Williams defeated her older sister, Venus, in two tiebreak sets. The quarterfinal match, which was billed by many as the de facto final, took almost 2 1/2 hours. That meant that Mardy Fish and Rafael Nadal played well into Thursday morning, with Nadal battling back after losing the first set to win convincingly in four. He'll play Andy Murray in one semifinal.

arod does well when it doesn't count
jeter does well when it does
both are overpaid
Carl Pavano didn't get the win. He didn't pitch enough innings.
Yeah Pavano got a no decision.
A-rod makes $28 million, more than the entire Twins starting lineup.
#1: arod does well when it doesn't count
jeter does well when it does
Do you have statistics to back up that claim? Or are you just parroting the typical talk radio/tabloid blather.
drewo - i'm a devoted yankee fan, and have always stood up for arod.
#1's right, unfortunately, and there is a stat that backs it up, one of the new stats the fantasy fags use. i think it's called whp(?), basically lost opportunity. he's at his lowest for a complete season.
jeter gets a pass for life just for past deeds, and rings.
arod is the best player in the game and needs to step it up when it counts.
serena has big thighs and bubble butt.
jens - more info please.
These kind of clutch hitting stats can be an aberration. Maybe ARod hits into a double-play, with runners aboard, to end the game. That makes the nightly highlights. What they would not show is the 2-run HR he hit earlier in the game, to even keep his team in the game.
A team fielding a lineup of 9 hitters with the same stats as ARod this year -- would have the best record in baseball.
