Take the 4 train to Grand Central, and switch to the 7
Courtesy of MetsBlog here is a Daily News article that should get the juices flowing for the upcoming Subway Series between the Mets and Yanks. I will state uncategorically that the bandwagon label does not apply to our very own GipperClone. Like most real Yankee fans he has or had the appropriate shrine to Don Mattingly to indicate his earnestness. As for the great majority of Yankee fans - you phonies might be itching to don those Wright jersies, but stay the fuck away from Shea. Capice?
Frankly this series has lacked something since the 2000 World Series as the Mets have struggled mightily since then, but with the addition of Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran, and the resurgent Mets slightly outplaying the Yanks thus far, this inter-league rivalry has a renwed energy about it. Sadly I will have to view from afar in a city whose own intense inter-league rivalry series is still a year away. My only hope is that on Saturday Fox will decide to air the rivalry game that people actually care about. If Cubs-Sox should appear on my screen, heads will roll. Mark my words.
"Plus, there's no Jason Giambi and no John Sterling in Queens, and we have Anna Benson. There's three reasons right there to switch."
