DRAMA KING OF QUEENS - ANOTHER SHAKY SAVE FOR K-ROD

METS NOTES It just isn't a Francisco Rodriguez save without some anxiousmoments. "He just needs to have some tension, be on the edge, thinks thatis where he pitches best," Mets manager Terry Collins saidyesterday after watching K-Rod withstand a ninth-inning charge inthe Mets' 5-2 victory over theGiants. Rodriguez needed 40 pitches to get the final three outs afterentering in the eighth. He is expected to be available fortonight's game against the Dodgers, but probably wouldn't be anoption for duty tomorrow.
