-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.

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.

Here’s a little piece of advice for Brian Cashman: make sure to build a real bench when you put together the 2007 Yankees. You would think that $190 million would mean you don’t need to rely on Kelly Stinnett or Miguel Cairo in key situations, but that is what the Yankees are about right now.

Billy, it’s Metallica on the phone, they want their song back. Actually, you have bigger problems than a stupid song, you just threw your manager under the bus after blowing a 4-0 lead in the ninth. You were “surprised” to be used in that situation? Don’t you think for $11-million a year Willie Randolph should be able to choose when and how often he uses you?

A four-run Yankee first inning and Randy Johnson starting against them couldn't stop the Mets from a come-from-behind, 7-6 victory over their neighbors in the Bronx Friday. David Wright's two-out single off Mariano Rivera won it in the bottom of the ninth.
