Turning point of the game, Mets-Yanks (refraining from any comment about refrains)

Depending on the media member's degree of unhappiness...

• Andy Phillips' single in the 11th
• Damon's hustle to beat out a dp in the 9th
• Cairo's walk & 2 steals in the 11th
• Melky's 11 pitch at bat working a walk to load the bases in the 9th

Mariano Rivera pitched a scoreless 10th and 11th inning. I'll refrain from any comments about refrains. At the bottom of the 11th, he

• Struck out David Wright swinging
• Struck out Cliff Floyd swinging
• Struck out Xavier Nady swinging

(In the bottom of the 10th, he only struck out Beltran & got Delgado to ground out--Matsui got a single..uh-oh...get me re-write....Mo, the last, great #42, must be done....) The reason all these turning points were necessary was that A-rod's fielding error (his 8th so far this year) resulted in 2 unearned runs in the 1st inning. Or, maybe it was his grounding into his 7th double play so far this year. (It must be Jeter's fault.) Actions have consequences--taking too much money has consequences.
