You’re out of order! You’re out of order! This whole lineup’s out of order!
The Mets batted out of order in, yes, the first inning Wednesday. Manager Mickey Callaway took full responsibility but said the lineup card posted in the dugout was different from the umpires’ version. Inning over. “It’s frustrating, probably cost us the game.” Amazin, Amazin, Amazin. Cincinnati’s Matt Harvey must have laughed for the first time in years but this is no laughing matter for Antonio Cromartie. His 14 kids have given him plenty of lineup problems.
May I take your order? Hi, I’ll take the Royals for 10 units please. Will that be all? Yes, they’re not good but the Orioles are worse. KC’s Ian Kennedy shut out the Tigers for six innings last week. Expecting an encore performance at Camden Yards.
First-place Yankees! Moved to top by out-slugging the Sox 9-6. Both Rick Porcello and Masahiro Tanaka gave way to the heavy-hitting lineups. Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge providing timely hits in a decisive four-run eighth inning. Victory trims our losses to -80 pacinos.
