Mariano Rivera outclassed the Mets last night; it could be argued he outclasses MLB all the time anyway. The Baseball Gods rewarded baseball’s most humble closer last night at New Shea Stadium to earn his 500th save and his 1st RBI, when he worked a 3-2 count against his cross-town cocky mirror image, K-Rod.

A.J. Burnett has been hot in his last 3 starts, and it culminated in him almost no-hitting the Mets at Citi Field last night. His fastball and curveball were nasty and vintage A.J. He had 10 K, 1 hit, and 3 walks in 7 innings. Brian Bruney and Dave Robertson didn’t give up a...

Dave Mlicki…his name always comes up during the Subway Series because the greatest game in his career was shutout against the Yankees. He was an underdog in that June 16, 1997 game vs Andy Pettitte, but he won.
Now that I think of it, it’s amazing how long interleague play has been around.
Dave’s had a...

When Derek Jeter was interviewed last week amidst the Yankees National League slump, he said a baseball season has its peaks and valleys, and the Yanks are just playing through a bad stretch, but thing will start to pick up.
Things have picked up.
Watching the ineptitude of the Mets last night made me feel happy....

…And it’s raining here at Citi Field as CC Sabathia was set to face Mike Pelfrey in the battle of the aces. Ahh…nothing like a New York Mets rain delay. At least back during the 1980’s on WWOR, we had Kiner’s Korner, fan interviews, live updates, Godzilla movies joined in progess, Son of Kong,...

I rewatched the last 2 innings of the infamous Luis Castillo game with my wife, who was traveling that night. Michael Kay was all over Joe Girardi for using Mariano Rivera in the 8th inning with 2 outs and no one on in a 7-7 game to face Carlos Beltran (instead of Phil Coke).

Johan Santana had nothing against the Yankees, as the Yanks won the Subway Series two games to three, in an improbable fashion. Although the offense dominated this game (Godzilla, Francisco Cervelli, Jeter, Cano, Melky, etc.) A.J. Burnett was pumped today and his curveball was great. He went 7 shut-out innings.
It seemed like the Mets...

Fernando Nieve has given Mets fans hope that he will solidify the rotation with a great debut Saturday. As we have seen many times in interleague play, knowing the Mets’ luck he will more than likely become an answer to a trivia question than a great starter. Andy Pettitte was weak again at Yankees...

On the heels of the Yankees once again being swept by the Red Sox, it’s nice to know there are some consistent things in this universe- the Mets are cursed. Only the Mets could blow a game in such a fashion. Seriously. This had to be one of the most memorable and infamous endings...

The Mets lefty Oliver Perez (6-5, 4.98) was too much for the Yankees today at Shea Stadium. Joe Girardi benched Cano, Giambi, and Abreu since they are left-handed, but it didn’t help. The only Yankees offense was a solo shot by Wilson Betemit, as the Mets won 3-1 to salvage the last game of...
