Subway Series
By Joe Davis
The Yankees vs Mets rivalry will continue as they face off once again this weekend. Game 1 of the series was postponed due to rain but they will play a double header Sunday. Remember the 2000 World Series in which Roger Clemens stirred up Mets' star Mike Piazza by throwing the head of Piazza's broken bat in his direction? That was only the first inning of Game 2. This Subway Series included come-from-behind victories, heroics from an unknown player, the always special Derek Jeter moments (Gag me), and of course the Yankees winning the World Series. What else is new?
Well the Mets are actually doing well this year. Only 3 games behind 1st place, and 2 games out of second place. Also, those loveable Yankees are in 1st place (wait, that isn't new). Oh well, Mets fan and Red Sox fans rejoice! I predict a 9 game losing streak (6 games to the Mets, 3 to the Red Sox). The Red Sox will regain 1st place as the Yankees fall to 3rd behind the red hot Devil Rays. The Mets will be 2 games ahead of Florida in the NL East.
Mets' fan, Jake Cohen, 16, of Coventry, CT has very hateful words towards the Evil Empire, " [The Yankees] are dirty cheaters who bought their way to championships."
Al Leiter (2-2) will try to get it started today as he faces off against Brad Halsey (1-0) at 1:05 PM EST. On Sunday, Steve Trachsel (7-5) will battle vs. everyones favorite Cuban, José Contreras (4-3) at 1:05 PM EST. Game 2 of the double header will feature Matt Ginter (1-1)and Mike Mussina(8-4) at 8:05 PM EST.
