Feels so good!

When the Yankees had the bases loaded in the bottom of the first inning, Yankee fans were undoubtedly thinking this would be a wonderful Saturday at the ballpark. But Mets starter Al Leiter, (3-2,) who won against a team he called �the mighty Yankees,� held tight.
Leiter struck out Yankee hulk Jason Giambi and forced Jorge Posada to weakly ground out, ending the inning and propelling the Mets to go on to beat the bombers and the Bronx's rookie pitcher Brad Halsey. Read it and weep: 9 �3. The pricey Alex Rodriguez went 0-for-5 and stranded seven runners, five of them on second or third and is hitting .211 against the Mets for his career. According to an AP wrap-up on ESPN, Rodriguez is hitting .197 (13-for-66 with runners in scoring position, including .086 (3-for-35) with two outs. Wow!
The subway ride continues today in a double hedder. The Yanks may face another mugging in the house that George wrecked. Let's go Mets!
