Sure, Nick Markaikis could have come up in the 8th and singled. Or Melvin Mora could have hit a lazy flyball homerun, but that doesn't excuse Jerry Hairston choking on that grounder in the 7th. Hard hit, yes, but an easy play for any major leaguer not wearing the word "Mets" across his chest, although "major leaguer" may not be an appropriate description either way.
A-Rod fields that ball in his sleep, reclining on a deck chair dreaming of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days 2."
Andy Pettitte was brilliant. Bruney was god-awful, although I think the hook came a little too quick. Up four, maybe you give him a chance to work out of it. Rivera is ready, and would face the bottom of the order anyway.
I wonder how long Pettitte goes if he's getting shelled, considering Joba's short outing and the use of so many others to get through the previous game.
