A spectator at Fenway Park in Boston took to the field and interrupted the game during last night's Red Sox-Yankees rubber match. With the game still tied 1-1 at the bottom of the 7th inning, Boston first baseman Eric Hinske was leading off for the Sox and was the first batter to face pitcher Joba Chamberlain, who relieved Roger Clemens. Hinske managed a double to left field after facing a full count at the......

In what could be his biggest personal accomplishment ever, Mr. Met is going to the Mascot Hall of Fame. Yesterday, the Mascot Hall of Fame named Mr. Met a member of its 2007 class along with the San Antonio Coyote. The Post, which is thumping its chest with the news, talked to Mets spokesman Jay Horowitz, "We're thrilled at what he does. He does a lot of good charity work, the kids love him, and......

Yankees 6 Royals 3: At this point, the YES Network should just play a “ch-ching” sound everytime A-Rod steps up to the plate. After hitting a home run for the 5th-consecutive game on Sunday, A-Rod has 52 for the season, the most for a Yankee since Mantle and Maris hit 54 and 61 in 1961. He also has 138 RBI’s with 19 games left, which puts him in line to have the most RBI’s as......

Yankees 11, Royals 5: Good thing the Yankees didn't make that Alex Rodriguez for Ervin Santana move this offseason. Rodriguez hit two homers -- Nos. 50 and 51 -- as the Yankees cruised past the Royals. Detroit beat Seattle again, so the wild-card lead stands at three games. Johnny Damon, who looked like a corpse for most of the season, has played better of late. He socked his 10th homer as the Yankees gave plenty......

Mets 8, Cubs 3: The pitcher's win is among the most overrated stat in baseball. When you pick up 300 of them, however, you probably don't stink. Surefire Hall-of-Famer Tom Glavine fits that description, though he was a legend long before he reached an arbitrary cutoff point. He went 6 1/3 innings to pick up his 300th career win in Chicago as the Mets took two of three from the Cubs. The veteran lefty......

Yankees 16, Royals 8: It was bound to happen and it took a little while, but Alex Rodriguez became the 22nd player in Major League history to hit 500 career home runs and the youngest player to reach that mark. A-Rod got it done early in the game, hitting a three-run shot in the 1st inning of yesterday's win against the Royals, which is the same team he hit #499 off of on July......

Alex Rodriguez settled anticipations of his 500th career home run early in the Yankees game against the Kansas City Royals this afternoon. With Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu on second and first base, A-Rod swung at the first pitch Kyle Davies served him and knocked it over the left field fence. It was Rodriguez's 36th homer of the season with 108 RBIs, and the magic number 500 has the third basemen on the verge......

Yankees 7, Royals 1: Kansas City has looked tough against some other teams in the American League, but the Yankees haven't had any trouble with the Royals. Robinson Cano's homer started things off in a way his teammates have been used to. Then the Yankees got the rest of their runs through less explosive means. Joe Torre's lineup worked out well -- Melky Cabrera and Johnny Damon combined to go 5-for-9 with a walk in......

Mets 12, Brewers 4: Tuesday's 13-inning loss didn't seem to portend good things for the Mets' road trip. A worn-out rotation and bullpen looked ripe for a beating during the final two games in Milwaukee. But Oliver Perez stepped up Wednesday, and Brian Lawrence, pitching in the big leagues for the first time since 2005, reaped the benefits of run support in Thursday's matinée finale. That included Damion Easley's unlikely inside-the-park home run. Next up:......

Royals 7 Yankees 0: Kei Igawa should buy a plane ticket back to Japan. Today’s ledger of 5.2 innings, seven hits and 2 walks while allowing five runs just reinforced the fact that Igawa is nothing more than a batting practice pitcher. The Yankees could have won seven-straight, but they didn’t, at least we know that Igawa is junk and Phil Hughes will be back in the rotation soon. Pirates 8 Mets 4: Oliver Perez......

Mets 6, Pirates 3: Tom Glavine picked up his 299th career win by taking advantage of a rare night of productivity from Paul Lo Duca. A start after wilting despite having a 6-0 lead before he threw a pitch, Glavine shut down the Pirates at Shea. Lo Duca entered the game with a .312 on-base percentage and a .357 slugging average, and, despite the Mets' laughable efforts to have him elected to the All-Star Game,......

Yankees 9, Royals 2: After scoring 38 runs in two games, nine runs in one game doesn't seem like much. What's wrong with these bums? Only eight of nine starters scored a run. Even though all nine starters had hits, six of them managed just one. That kind of weak production just isn't going to get it done. Roger Clemens threw seven innings of two-run ball. He didn't walk a batter and struck out three,......

Yankees 21, Devil Rays 4: Every Yankee starter had a hit, an RBI and a run scored. The team put up 20 hits in consecutive games for the first time in more than 100 years. It scored 38 runs in less than 24 hours. Shelley Duncan had two home runs .Too bad the Devil Rays and their suspect pitching staff can't stay in the Bronx a little longer. The good news? The Yankees move on......

What's eBay good for if not finding a place to buy and sell things like...John Gotti's cufflinks? The Dapper Don's 14 karat gold cufflinks were given to the eBay seller's father, Jim Smith. Get ready for a 20 second history lessson: Jim Smith was the right hand man to Mickey Cohen, who was the right hand man to Ben "Bugsy" Siegel. When Bugsy was whacked, Cohen took over the West Coast "operations", and eventually wrote......

Rockies 4 Yankees 3: It’s funny how the longer you watch baseball, the more you tend to see things repeat themselves. In 2005, the Yankees used a big winning streak to get out of a deep hole and climb above .500, only to fall back to .500 and below when they got swept by the Royals in a series where they made way too many mental errors and only scored six runs in three games.......

The only time of year that matters in the Bronx has arrived. While they won’t admit it publicly, the Yankees have to be thrilled by the makeup of these playoffs. Sitting at home are the perennially tough Angels, the gritty White Sox and the always-dangerous Red Sox. In their place are the Tigers, Twins and A’s, not cupcakes, but not on the same level. New York will face a Tigers team that simply collapsed......

After rain washed out Tuesday's action, plenty of tennis made up for the lost time on Wednesday. Mikhail Youzhny took out Rafael Nadal in four sets, opening the draw for Andy Roddick, who disposed of Lleyton Hewitt. Roddick has enjoyed a resurgence since he hired Jimmy Connors. His backhand has improved -- it couldn't get worse -- and his attitude has changed. Could Roddick beat Roger Federer if they met in the final on Sunday?......

-Royals 5 Yankees 0: Kansas City may be the doormat of the American League, but they have played tough against New York for two consecutive nights. Tuesday it was all about the pitching. Jorge De La Rosa came in and pitched the first 5 2/3 innings and Tood Wellemeyer went the last 3 1/3 to give Kansas City the shutout victory. Derek Jeter had an infield single to extend his hitting streak and move into......

-Mets 3 Padres 2: It was the perfect homecoming for Mike Piazza and Mets’ fans. After giving a huge ovation to the former face of the franchise, the Shea faithful got to watch the new face of the franchise, David Wright, collect two RBI’s and propel New York to victory. As if there was any doubt left that a new era has arrived at Shea, Billy Wagner came in and preserved the one-run victory. -White......

If you head to the south Bronx to take in a Yankee game this season, you very well might find names like Sal Fasano, Nick Green, and Aaron Guiel in the lineup. Injury-plagued is hardly a strong enough phrase for this season’s club. Who’s that pitching? Oh, that’s Sidney Ponson, the guy who punched a judge on the beach in Aruba and had an earned run average well over 5 in the National League......

-Toronto 13 Yankees 5: Sidney Ponson showed why the Cardinals released him and Kris Wilson showed why the Royals released him. Together, the two of them gave up ten runs in four innings and the New York bats couldn’t make up the difference. A-Rod went 0-4, continuing his streak of looking clueless at the plate. Vernon Wells hit two home runs to power the Blue Jays. -Houston 8 Mets 4: New York started out on......

-Mariners 3, Yankees 2: After Melky Cabrera's game-winning home run Tuesday, fans didn't have long between games. Maybe the Yankees could have used more rest. Mariners starter Gil Meche allowed only five hits, and Alex Rodriguez had two of them. With the Red Sox cashing in their "Free Sweep" coupon over the lowly Royals, the Yankees are now 1 1/2 games behind. -Reds 7, Mets 4: A rain delay of over two hours only put......

-Mets 7, Florida 6: David Wright's three-run homer helped the Mets come back and earn a split of the weekend's four-game series. They won't be tested until the playoffs, but the biggest challenge for the NL East leaders will be readjusting their starting rotation. After Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine, question marks remain. The Mets are fortunate to have a second half and a 12-game lead to make adjustments. -Devil Rays 6, Yankees 5: Most......

-Mets 5 Pirates 0: The game could have ended after the first inning when New York jumped all over Kip Wells for all of their scoring. Jose Reyes led off the game with a triple and scored on Paul LoDuca’s single. The Mets loaded the bases and Jose Valentin doubled home two runs. After a wild pitch scored another run, Endy Chavez singled home the fifth run of the inning. That was all El Duque......

-Red Sox 4, Mets 2: Boston completed a three-game sweep of the Mets on Thursday. Aaron Heilman gave up the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, and the Mets were shut down by Curt Schilling. Although many Mets fans may panic, this series in Boston doesn't pose an immediate concern for the club. During the course of a season, teams get swept all the time. Mets fans shouldn't worry simply because their team got swept......

Tom Glavine got his eighth win of the season, retiring the first fifteen batters he faced as the Mets beat the Marlins 7-4. David Wright who missed Friday’s game with back-spasms had a perfect day at the plate going 4-4 with two doubles. Billy Wagner came in and got the last two outs of the ninth for his 11th save. Gothamist was beginning to wonder if Kelly Stinnett could hit anything. Coming into Saturday’s game,......

Despite another strong effort from Pedro Martinez, the Mets lost 5-1 to Florida Friday. Meanwhile, the Yankees dropped a rain-delayed, 7-6 game to the lowly Royals. Derek Jeter became the 8th Yankee to reach the 2,000 hit mark with a questionable hit in the 4th inning. Gothamist thinks Martinez deserved better during his 10-strikeout performance. Three singles by the Marlins gave them the lead in the seventh, and the Mets struggled against the Marlins' Josh......

The Mets won a 9-8, 16-inning thriller over the Phillies. The official length of the game was 5 hours 22 minutes. The game ended on a home run by Carlos Beltran. Mets fans should rejoice tomorrow as there's no more Lima Time. It will mark the debut of Alay Soler, the team's 9th starting pitcher this season - the team used 8 all of last season. The Mystics crushed the Liberty in WNBA action. Despite......

The Yankees salvaged their weekend with a 9-3 victory over the Twins Sunday. Four home runs, two by Jason Giambi and one each from Robinson Cano and A-Rod powered New York. Chien-Ming Wang had his finest outing of the season, pitching seven strong innings for the win. The Yankees continued their pattern of beating up on the opposition in games they win. Other than a two-run win over the Royals, their victories have all been......

Nothing helps the Yankees more than a three-game series against the Royals at home. They finished a three-game sweep of the Royals with a 9-3 victory Thursday afternoon before a sellout crowd. In the series, the Yankees rediscovered their offense. They scored 30 runs and walked 20 times. Teams with awful pitching staffs will find that's how their series will go against the Yankees. Kansas City hasn't won in New York since 2002. Randy Johnson,......
