Last Night's Action: No Baseball Wins Here

Minnesota 6 Yankes 3: It’s been eight years since he last did it, Mariano Rivera gave up another grand slam. That, plus a bases-loaded walk propelled the Twins to a rare road victory against the Yankees.

Rivera’s failure ruined a good start from Sergio Mitre and a nice relief appearance from David Robertson. It also stopped the Yankees from a series sweep and dropped them two games behind The Rays.
Florida 10 Mets 8: Once again the Mets are in a tailspin as they have lost five-straight. Jon Niese was shelled and left the game with an injured hamstring, but the Mets’ relief didn’t do much better. The Mets scored all of their runs from the sixth inning on, but it was not enough to overcome a 7-0 deficit.

Now they head to Atlanta with Omar Minaya deciding at the last minute to join them there. Is a change in the works?

Liberty 85 Chicago 82: It's basketball season again and the LIberty got things started with a victory. Chicago almost pulled it out, but Taj McWilliams-Franklin hit four big free throws down the stretch to preserve the victory.

Each 5 games they play is worth 20%. Since they won 20 games, their winning percentage is 80%. That means that they lost 5 games.

You can't blame Mets hitting this time around. Just in time for warm weather, the Mets pitching staff, all of it, falls apart at the same time. Wonder how the Wilpons are doing selling tickets? Hey, Jeffie! Any single game tickets available?
