It could be Mets vs. Yankees again in the World Series. This is one good team and in my opinion, they’re the best team in the National League. Unfortunately for them, that’ll be good for second place this year because the Yankees are going to end their “drought.”
On Friday, rain cost Mike Mussina an official start but the pen kept up what he started and Mussina and four relievers combined for a one hitter. Jason Giambi hit a solo homerun and Andy Phillips singled home Bernie Williams for the two runs.
Saturday was the downer. Randy Johnson was knocked around and he dropped to 9-7. It’s hard to believe that Johnson is still on pace for 17-18 wins this season. He gave up eight runs on eight hits and three walks through six innings in the 8-3 beatdown. Alex Rodriguez went deep for number 17 and he drove in two runs.
The Mets wish last night’s game was rained out. The Yankees scored 16 runs by the end of the fifth inning. A-Rod homered twice and drove in seven runs and six different Yankees scored at least two runs. Jorge Posada went yard and Nick Green, who’s filling for Robinson Cano, went deep for his first homer of the season.
Next up is the Indians and we’re up 2-0 in first inning tonight. The Red Sox finally lost but it was only one game so we’re four games back. And the White Sox aren’t giving us much of a chance for a fall back plan. Guess it’ll be the Red Sox who get left out of the playoff picture.
