- Yankees 8 Texas 6: Chien-Ming Wang had his best start of the season. Then again, considering the disasters his first three starts were, that isn’t saying much. Wang allowed five runs over 4-2/3 innings, which sadly lowered his ERA, but that wasn’t the real story. What was the story was a great comeback from New York. Down 5-1, the Yankees rallied thanks to a bases-clearing double from Mark Teixeira and they won the game thanks to a two-run home run from Melky Cabrera. Rivera came in for the save and New York has now won seven of it’s last eight series.
- Pittsburgh 11 Mets 6: Usually scoring six runs is enough to win, but not when your starting pitcher can’t keep you in the game. Mike Pelfrey was awful, allowing nine runs- eight earned, and the lowly Pirates swept the Mets. To make matters much worse, Jose Reyes has a tear in his hamstring and J.J. Putz will probably need elbow surgery. Depending on the result of tonight’s Phillies game in San Diego, New York will be either three or four games back in the NL East.
- Washington 2 Red Bulls 0: Another loss as the season drags on for New York. They played a tough match and trailed only by a goal until the final minute when a penalty kick gave D.C. the final edge.

Oh God...... can you please not say "The Melk Man Delivers"? It encourages Sterling to come up with "fun" names and yet for Yankee fans the radio announcing has been horrid for too many years now...
Yep, sorry but sponging off John Sterling's lame home run calls is simply embarrassing. You have to be able to think of something better than that right?
It's about as weak as thinking that a pitcher's performance can be boiled down to his ERA in a given game. Fact is, Wang pitched a good game but clearly doesn't have the endurance he used to have and will no doubt recover given some time in the rotation. But you have to actually watch the games to be able to go into that kind of "depth" of analysis.
"Melky" is not a real name. I know he claims it's his real name but I bet it's short for Melchior or something. It annoys the hell out of me. Melky is NOT a name. :::SHUDDER:::
I agree with quenepa and jaycjay: Sterling's calls make me shudder. Particularly "another A-bomb for A-Rod." Perhaps it's just my attempt at political correctness, but putting that phrase together is just in poor taste.
