Rogers on the hook now.
We expect ten more in a row ... pressure's on!

Yeah, I know, it was bush league... and if Collins did it they'd hammer
him tomorrow. But, ya know we're the Yankees, and they're not.

Always fun to come away with a victory at the House of Evil.

More Mets fans there than in past years; might have been as much as 30% of the crowd today. Lots of cheering but no incidents (side note, who thought bat day was a good idea for this game?).

I would have pulled Harvey after 7 innings. No sense having him pitch extra when the game was generally decided. Then when he had the quick 8th, I figured that was enough too. (He wasn't protecting a shutout anyway).

Props to Yankee Stadium security for quickly responding to some d-bag fans in my section. I am a big fan of the text-message narc line at the ballparks. Dropped a dime on them, including their exact seat location and wouldn't you know it, security was there in less than 3 minutes, gave them a stern warning and marked their tickets that any future misbehavior would result in an ejection.

Factors likely going into Terry allowing him to stick around:
- reasonably low pitch count
- next week (Tuesday?) is when Montero is scheduled to make his ML start giving the entire rotation an extra day's rest
- the week after that the Mets have two scheduled off-days (Monday 5/4 & Thursday 5/7) so more extra rest

George runs a tight ship!

I'm Muffy's biggest supporter but this can't go on. Muff is allotted three brain-farts before the all-star break and he used all his up. Amazin'. I imagine the next one will be on the bases.

Great game. I'm surprised that TC left Harvey in. I like it.

So far we hold off any all-time kaBOOM records.

Rubber match coming up
