New York Yankees

After some concerned surfaced yesterday about his sore foot, A.J. Burnett was cleared to start Monday in Arizona after a problem-free bullpen session this afternoon.

NEW YORK-- Mike Pelfrey, for the second consecutive start, didn't have his greatest stuff. His fastball was flat and his sinker had no bite, as the Mets lost the battle of long balls.

The game got off to a roaring start for the Mets as Jose Reyes lead off with a home run off Phil Hughes.

Pelfrey though, would give the run right back in the first, as he gave up two singles and a run-scoring double play to begin the inning, tying the game at 1-1.

The Mets got a leadoff single from Jason Bay in the second, but Chris Carter hit a double play. 

The Yankees were not only looking for a win to end their losing streak, they also hoped to revitalize their recent sluggish offensive performances.

One night after being shutout for the third time this season, the Yankees used a pair of two-run home runs to power past the Mets, 5-3, Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

With the win the Yankees ended a season-high four-game losing streak. The Mets lost for only the second time in 11 interleague games this season.

Nobody likes hockey anymore.

It makes me sad, but in the past few years it has been my feeling that people just don’t like hockey as much as they used to. Maybe that comes from growing up in New York and people here have just become apathetic lately as opposed to how excited people were in the '90s with the Cup, Mark Messier, and Wayne Gretzky all being here.

NEW YORK-- For the first time since August 29-September 30, 2001, the Mets have put together a 24-game run of at least 19-5. No, it didn't even happen in 2006, when the Mets ran through the National League. That just shows you how hard it is to pull off this kind of feat.

The Mets will try to improve to 20 out of 25 today.

Seriously, how much does that picture piss you off?

For the third straight night the Yankees offense was a no show as the Yanks fell to the Mets 4-0 at the stadium. This time it was lefty Hisanori Takahashi who shut the Yankees down, holding them scoreless over six innings. His final inning was his roughest.
