And in the end, the New York Mets were more lucky than the New York Yankees at Citi Field. In front of a worldwide ESPN 8:00PM Sunday night audience, Johan Santana was dominate, and CC Sabathia was horrible. Most fans think the game was over when the score was 6-0 or 6-1, but for...

Mike Pelfrey and the New York Mets were clutch on Saturday night prime time FOX. Jason Bay, David Wright, and Angel Pagan came through- even with two outs, while the Yankees hitters left runners on base all night (24), and were unable to overcome a 5-3 Mets victory at Citi Field. Phil Hughes (5-1,...

Javier Vazquez (3-4, 6.69) pitched like an ace at Citi Field, allowing only one hit in 6 shutout innings. Javier Vazquez laid down two excellent bunts, but hurt his finger on the last one, and had to come out of the game (bad luck). That being said, the hurt finger was just a hiccup...

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...

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...

…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...
