Sub Series
By lefty
In this “Subway Series,” the Yankees will arrive in the first class seats, while the Mets will be lucky to sit in the rear end of coach. The Yankees currently sport the best record in baseball. I haven’t read this anywhere. No need. I’m reminded about it by Yankee fans more often than CNN broadcasts Peterson trial updates. The Mets meanwhile, having decided to go with the "youth movement," are seeking to move into a .500 season with a win today.
When the Mets talk about going with youth, they're not talking about their pitching staff. When you look at today’s starters it’s the Yankees who look young. Their Brad Halsey, 1-0, 3.18 ERA, was six year-old when Al Leiter, 2-2, 2.14 ERA made his major league debut with the Yankees in 1987.
In the battle of the payrolls, this one sees the Mets $96 Million vs. the Yankees $180 million.
