Okay, Mets manager Willie Randolph hasn't been in pinstripes for a while, but this photograph of him saying hi to new Dodgers manager Joe Torre just seems like something from the bizarro world - not that there's anything wrong with that! Randolph, who was a Yankees coach under Torre, said, "It was a little strange, a little different. But I told him, 'You look good in any uniform.'"

Roger Federer wore all black and cruised into the third round at the U.S. Open, beating Chilean qualifier Paul Capdeville. He'll draw American John Isner in the third round Saturday. Serena Williams also won in the night session. During the day, Federer's foil, Rafael Nadal, struggled with a knee injury but still beat Australian wild card Alun Jones. That doesn't bode well for his chances.

S.I. Yankees 13, Lake Monsters 9: The Yankees exploded for nine runs against Vermont in the fifth inning and added two runs in the ninth just to make sure. Jason Stephens got the win despite imploding in the fifth

Angels 18, Yankees 9: Do not adjust your monitors, that football-looking score is right. Perhaps it was the hangover from Monday's heartbreaking loss that caused this ugly performance by the Yankees. Or maybe it was how the Yankees pitchers were very hitable. Or maybe it was Garret Anderson as a one-man team. Anderson's line for Tuesday? 4-6, 2 runs, 10 RBI. Mike Mussina was awful, allowing 7 earned runs in only 1.2 innings, but it seemed like everyone that pitched for the Yankees (except Luis Vizcaino) was just as bad. Ron Villone - 4 runs in 1/3 innings; Edwar Ramirez - 2 runs in 2 innings; Sean Henn - 5 runs in 3 innings. It was almost like watching a bad Little League game as the Angels batted around in the 2nd and 3rd innings.

Oneonta 3, Brooklyn 2: Josh Appell should work on his control. He walked the leadoff man in the bottom of the 10th, let him get to second on a wild pitch and then, after a groundout moved him to third and an intentional walk, threw another wild pitch to end the game. Just how the Cyclones would have drawn it up.

Lowell 2, Brooklyn 0: These teams played like they had dinner reservations. The Spinners enjoyed them more thanks to their stronger effort in the pitchers' duel. Brooklyn only got four hits.

Tri-City 8, Brooklyn 6: Eric Nielsen didn't get out of the second -- when Tri-City scored four runs -- and that didn't help the Cyclones, who couldn't peck away enough.

Same Old Story
Another game in Atlanta equaled another loss for the Mets. Monday it was at the hands of a familiar nemesis, Chipper Jones. Jones hit a two-run homer over the centerfield wall in the eighth inning to give the Braves a 4-2 victory. Since Turner Field opened, the Mets have gone 20-49 there and are 1-5 this year.
Heartbreaker
Sunday afternoon Mets’ fans were five outs away from something they had never seen before, four pitches later they saw something they have seen far too often. Pedro Martinez took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before surrendering a triple followed by a home run in a 2-1 loss.
Mets Avoid Sweep
There must have been something in the air for the Mets to win the way they did. Ramon Castro hit his 3rd home run of the season and Marlon Anderson hit two homers for the first time in his career to help the Mets explode offensively. In the first two games of the series, the Mets only scored 6 runs while Castro and Anderson had 5 RBI all by themselves last night. Anderson was starting in the place of Mike Cameron who was dismal in Tuesday's loss. Carlos Zambrano improved his record to 5-9 in 7 innings of work.
Looking Up?
Mike Piazza's eleventh-inning RBI single gave the Mets a 3-2 win at Washington, and the Mets took a four-game series from the front-running Nationals. Despite Willie Randolph's best efforts to ruin the Mets' production with his increasingly-crazy lineups, his team has gotten enough runs to win of late.
Putting a Stop to Livan and the Nats
The Mets won despite some Bad News Bear-like action on the basepaths. Gothamist has seen softball leagues with better baserunning. With the bases loaded and no outs in the 6th inning and a chance to blow the game open. While they did manage to score 3 runs, it seemed like there was a chance for many more. Ramon Castro was thrown out at first base for the 1st out after a ball hit David Wright in the back. Livan Hernandez, who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time, out of position and backing up the catcher in of the plate, picked up the ball and threw out Castro at first as he rounded the bag. The other two outs came on a double play to Jose Guillen in right field. Miguel Cairo hit a fly ball to short right field that Guillen caught and doubled up Marlon Anderson with.
Error Ends Mets Homestand with Loss
Yesterday's loss came after a thrilling victory on Saturday night which saw an inside the park home run by Marlon Anderson and a game winning three-run homer by Cliff Floyd. The series against the Angels was a litmus test for the Mets as they could test themselves against one of the better teams in the American League.
