A few random observations about last night's win:
* Biggest thing I'm taking away from the evening was the excellent pitching performance by Javier Vazquez. I'm very happy that he did so well. I know it's the Mets, but still.
* But I'm not happy that he had to get taken out of the game after hurting his hand while bunting. I hate pitchers batting!
* And how about that Kevin Russo? It always seems like the newest Yankee does well in the Subway Series. Remember Tyler (The Yankee) Clippard shutting down the Mets?
* Whatever happened to David Wright, anyway? You know, the guy who beat the great Mariano Rivera a few years ago in the Subway Series? That player seems to be long gone. I used to see Yankee fans refer to the last season or two of Bernie Williams as him being The Ghost of Bernie Williams. Well, we're seeing The Ghost of David Wright now!
* Hmmmm, maybe Squawker Jon is right. Wright should give the Great Gazoo helmet a try again! Cervelli looks very cool in it when he's getting big hits!
What do you think? Tell us about it!

Cory Sullivan makes homer history for Mets!
On Friday night, the Yankees tied a major-league record when Jorge Posada became the seventh Bomber this year to hit his 20th homer.
So what.
Saturday afternoon, Cory Sullivan became the eighth active Met to hit more than one homer this year.
Sullivan achieved this milestone when he belted his second homer of the year off of Rich Harden in the second inning of the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Cubs.
Here are the historic eight active Mets along with their number of homers (Gary Sheffield is currently out of action):
David Wright - 8
Daniel Murphy - 8
Fernando Tatis - 7
Jeff Francoeur - 7 (as a Met)
Angel Pagan - 6
Omir Santos - 6
Brian Schneider - 3
Cory Sullivan - 2
Luis Castillo and Nick Evans are knocking on the door of the exclusive "More Than One Homer Club" with one roundtripper each.
The combined total of these ten players is 49, leaving the active Mets six ahead of Albert Pujols's 43.
The active Mets are also in a dogfight with the Yankees who are not in the 20-homer club. Derek Jeter (17), Melky Cabrera (11), Eric Hinske (7), Brett Gardner (3), Jerry Hairston Jr. (2), Jose Molina (1) and Francisco Cervelli (1) have combined for 42 homers.
Jeter is eighth on the Yankees in homers and Cabrera is ninth. Both Jeter and Cabrera have more homers than all Mets this year, active or otherwise.
So what.
