"Everything Counts In Large Amounts" is a great Depeche Mode lyric.  It unfortunately applied to the Yankees and Mets last night as they lost games they should have won, especially the Yankees.  Mariano let the only run in the ninth and K-Rod came in to preserve the 1-0 victory.  It was a waste of a great performance by Ponson.  Mariano doesn't pitch the same way in non-save situations as he does in save situations.  Most relievers are that way, including the Mets' Billy Wagner.

The Mets lost 7-3 at Houston last night but they need to beat up on the Astros to keep pace with the Phillies. 

"Everything (and Every Game) Counts in Large Amounts."
