Yanks Pop Off to Mets

You gotta love back and forth games.
Joba was sloppy tonight getting into too many jams and reaching the 100 pitch count a bit early, very early actually. It seemed that either the Mets were stealing signs or he just never seemed to see eye-to-eye with Posada on what to throw. He would up walking the bases loaded, walked in the tying run, then hit the next batter for the go-ahead run in the third inning.
Yankees did respond back with another Teixeira home run giving him 19 for the season. Matsui also went deep to put the Yankees in the lead again in the 8th inning only to see the Mets take the lead back in the ninth.

The ninth inning. Very interesting ninth inning.
Francisco Rodriguez came in on relief getting a quick out to Gardner. Jeter then got a base hit. Damon pinch hit for Swisher only to strike out. Jetert steals second opening up first for an intentional walk to Tex.
A-Rod is up.
Uh-oh.
Pop up.
Uh-oh.
Ball hits the fielders glove and drops in. Jeter socres, here comes Tex, the throw to the plate...is late!
The expressions on A-Rod were priceless.
At bat: concentrating.
Pop-up: frusturated, slams bat down, spits out gum, jogs to first.
Ball drops in: A-Rod does a double take, starts to go for second, heads back to first.
Tex scores: A-Rod puts hands on head in disbelief.
No pie. Sorry.
Although the final ruling was an E5 (error on the second baseman), I liked my title and stuck with it.

Boston won, Toronto lost. Yankees still two game back.

And what's with Rivera?
3.38 ERA so far this season, his highest since his rookie season in 1995.
