Those Phillies are soooo hot right now. They are now 1 game behind the Mets in NL East.

The Mets have been scuffling for the past week and it is not going to get any easier. Upcoming games: Cardinals, Yankees, Phillies.

Damn with that schedule it looks like theres gonna be a new first place team in the NL east soon

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

and a corked bat

I hear RJ is pitching for the Yankees on Friday...let me congratulate the Mets now on winning this upcoming Friday's game

Pedro vs. Randy...it should be fun. Maybe Johnson will bring his "A" game.

Not so fast. You guys have the Brew Crew, Red Sox, and the Mets. That's no cake walk.

good one!!!

oh wait, you were serious?

Yeah, I'm serious. I would to see a pitcher's duel and then, of course, a 1-0 Mets win.

sadly I don't count on it I'm actually thinking both of them are gonna get smacked around a bit...but that's probably just wishful thinking. It'll likely be RJ getting bitchslapped...and Pedro dominating heh. But I am totally looking forward to this weekend nonetheless. Subway series baby! woooooo!

I actually getting excited for the series. The Mets are good again and the Yanks, well....they're ok.

Hey hey now! We've flirted with first place in our division a few times

We've won two less games then the Mets, and lost one more than them. I don't think they're really that unevenly matched, and so I expect this to be a good series

To be sure though, I'd have to know the other two pitching matchups. I really don't watch the National League enough to know what the pitchers on the Mets look like on paper.

I'm not sure about the Saturday and Sunday games because I know the Mets are a little leerly about giving Jose Lima another start. It could be Jeremi Gonzalez on Saturday and Glavine on Sunday. I don't know what Yankee starting rotation sets up for the weekend.

Starting rotation - Even

Bullpen - Mets

Offense - Even with Sheff and Matsui out

Bench - Yanks

So yeah, the match up well.

Man I'm really gonna miss Sheff and Matsui, especially for this series. But David Wright isn't hitting that well so thats good. Pitching matchups- I assume Game 2 is Moose vs. Glavine? Who's for Game 3? My guess is series goes to the Mets 2-1 unfortunately since Yanks are a lil 'crippled'.

Hey, don't forget Cliff Floyd has been automatic this year...an automatic out. Wright and Reyes are not hitting consistantly, this why we have been in a rut lately.

Oh yeh, what's UP with Cliff? I was wondering about that..

He's been in a season long slump. Maybe he is pressing because he is in the final year of his contract. I'm hopeful that he will fight his way out of it because we really need his bat.

cool, thanks for that little comparison

Aside from RJ, I actually have been pleasantly surprised with the pitching. I don't think it's great but it does seem better than last year. Maybe I'm just delusional though Our team ERA is certainly decent though...not hovering around 5 like last year hahaha :|

edit: oh wait that's a lie...we were around 4.50 last year...what joy

POSADA IS MY NEW GOD

Damn those Brewers!

Jorge has always been reliable in my book, just more of a factor in the past. But yes, he was godly tonight. Still I prefer the Yanks of the past who aren't monster sluggers but reliable and usually come through with a single here there at the right times. I'm talking about Paul Oneil, Tino Martinez, Bernie, Jorge,Brosius, Jeter together. That was better baseball imo.

Damn those Brewers!

I warned you.

Great comeback win for the Yanks last night. I expect to see that game on Yankee Classics in about 2 weeks.
