Team Immodium...

...because they don't get the runs.

I would say bad jokes aside, but this team is a very bad joke right now. Another excellent start for Andy Pettitte went to waste as the Yankees managed just 6 hits against Oliver Perez and the Mets' bullpen. Hideki Matsui provided the Yankees only offense with a 2-run HR in the 4th that temporarily gave them a 2-1 lead. Matsui reached on a 2-out infield single in the 9th, but Mets closer Billy Wagner struck out pinch-hitter Jason Giambi to end the game.

Endy Chavez ripped a 2-run shot off of Pettitte in the 5th to put the Mets back ahead for good, 3-2. The Yankees had base runners in the 6th and 7th, but none advanced past 1st base.

The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the first when Jose Reyes singled and Damon Easley followed with a walk. Carlos Beltran's ground out moved the runners up, and Reyes came home on Carlos Delgado's fly out to center.

Jorge Posada and Derek Jeter both singled to extend their hitting streaks to 13 games.

With Boston rained out, the Yankees dropped to a full 10 games out of 1st place.
