Shock 75, Liberty 73: Not to be outdone by the Mets and the Yankees, the Liberty saw its season end one day after baseball's regular season. A furious rally couldn't make up for a disastrous first half, when the Liberty was outscored, 41-24. Janel McCarville led the way with 21 points, and Shameka Christon had 12. But Detroit shot 51 percent from the floor. Tough to win when opponents do that. Those trying to watch......

Florida 4 Mets 2: Where do you go from here? While 2008 is not as bad as 2007, the fact is the Mets blew a 3-1/2 game lead with 17 to play. For all the talk about the bullpen, or lack thereof, they managed only five runs during the final weekend series with the Marlins. Some changes have to be made, but it seems stupid not to officially hire the manager who led them to......

Florida 6 Mets 1: The Marlins jumped out in front in the first scoring two runs and they never looked back. Despite that, the Mets headed into the seventh down only 3-1with a chance. You can guess what happened from there as the bullpen couldn’t keep Florida off the board and the Marlins cruised to the win. The Mets’ loss coupled with the Phillies’ and Brewers’ wins put New York in a precarious position. They......

Chargers 48, Jets 29: Talk about blown out of the water. David Barrett's interception return gave the Jets a 7-0 lead. Then the Chargers got a field goal and another quick touchdown before Antonio Cromartie returned a Brett Favre interception -- one of two on the day -- for a touchdown. The Jets errors in this game included a lost fumble, a missed onside kick and generally sloppy defense. The final score reflects a wide-open......

Santana, who has a 7-0 record with a 2.26 ERA over his past 14 starts, went seven innings of one-run ball, striking out eight and walking two. Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy had two hits apiece setting the......

Fever 74, Liberty 59: The last time the Liberty and Fever faced off was before the under the lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center before the Olympic break. In that matchup, the Fever handily defeated the Liberty, 71-55. Even before last night's game, both the Liberty and Fever clinched spots in the upcoming playoffs with playoff seeding as the only thing left to be decided. If New......

Phillies 3, Mets 0: The Mets entered the first game of a three-game series with the Phillies riding the high of a sweep of the Brewers, but were quickly brought back to earth by Brett Myers's pitching. Meyers allowed only three hits over 8 shutout innings of work that included 10 strikeouts, stymieing the Mets for his 4th win in a row. The Phillies got all the offense they needed in the first inning when......

Joba Chamberlain showed why the Yankees were smart to move him to the rotation with seven shutout innings at Fenway. Joba was brilliant, striking out nine and allowing......

Yankees 5 Minnesota 1: New York completed the sweep thanks to another great start from Mike Mussina. Mussina won his 13th game of the year by pitching eight innings while allowing only six base runners and zero runs. He also struck out seven batters. With probably 12 more starts left this season, Mussina has a shot at winning 20 games for the first time in his career. Robinson Cano continued his torrid hitting with a......

The Mets win their 10th game in a row, thanks to a ninth inning two-run home run from David Wright....

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......

Andy Petitte led the Yankees to victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Mets' Mike Pelfrey shut down the Giants (the Amazin's are a game-and-a-half behind first place!)....

Yankees 4 Cincinnati 1: The Yankees did just enough to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Reds. Andy Pettitte went six-strong, not allowing a run and striking out four. He probably would have pitched longer, but the game was delayed 50 minutes due to rain. Jason Giambi provided the big hit, a two-run double in the sixth that gave New York a comfortable lead. Mariano Rivera, who had to come into the game......

Yankees 6 Kansas City 3: Start number two for Joba was longer and somewhat better. Chamberlain lasted 78 pitches, which translated to 4-1/3 innings, striking out five and allowing three runs. He really made only one bad mistake, a hanging slider that Jose Guillen crunched for his 10th home run of the season. Johnny Damon continued his hot hitting with two more hits and scored two runs. Bobby Abreu and Jason Giambi both hit home......

For those looking for WNBA news, today is a huge day. The WNBA draft took place -- one day after the college season ended -- and the league announced the Liberty will play the first outdoor game in the history of professional basketball. New York will play the Indiana Fever at Arthur Ashe Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on July 19. Ashe Stadium, which has been the main stadium court of the U.S. Open since 1997,......

Some dogs traveling to the U.S. from Iraq weren't dogs of war or trained to sniff explosives. Instead, they provided a little comfort and unconditional love to soldiers stuck in a war zone. With the help of the International SPCA's Baghdad Pups program, two dogs named Liberty and K-Pot have been adopted by soldiers' families. Because the military doesn't allow units to take adopted dogs with them when they move, soldiers either had to turn......
