- Philadelphia 8 Yankees 6: AJ Burnett went on three-days rest and he blew up in a huge way. Burnett couldn’t record an out in the third and he ended up surrendering six runs, the big blow coming on a three-run homer from Chase Utley. The Yankees actually had a chance in the ninth. Trailing by three runs, they put the first two runners on, but Derek Jeter grounded into a double play, which did score a run. Johnny Damon singled and Mark Teixeira came up as the tying run, but struck out to send the series back to the Bronx.
- Knicks 117 New Orleans 111: The Knicks will not be winless this season. David Lee had 28 points and 8 boards in the win.
- Islanders 3 Oilers 1: Brendan Witt scored twice and New York now has a four-game winning streak.
- Charlotte 79 Nets 68: Charlotte shot 32% and won. New Jersey only scored 7 points in the third quarter and lost Yi to a sprained knee. He will have a MRI on Tuesday.




Good. Now Phillies fans can see how a championship is won with style and a real closer. The next game is the day after the election, so we won't see Bloomie's face.
Only way Phils can win is if they give their bullpen a 10-run lead.
besides Rivera the Yankee bullpen has been horrid.
Last night it was Park who closed the door on the Yankee rally and sure Lidge is a tinderbox on a kerosene hat, I think 3 runs should do it.
besides its do or die time, time to toss out everyone and anyone.
These game/s could be loooooooooooong if close.
Waaah.. I missed the ball game last night but Im glad the Yankees won.
Glad to see the Knicks' victory garnered just one sentence. Crawling your way back to respectability, Dolan.
Way to Go Yankees!!
Let's go Islanders!
The fact they scored 6 runs in a game that Lee started, and had a decent shot to win it in the end, says the Yanks are hot and will win it all. They would have last night if Burnett wasn't such a headcase.
If the Rangers were on a four-game winning streak, you'd post more than one sentence. The least you could do is show that same respect to the Islanders. They certainly don't play like a last place team these days!
