Some quick notes about the Subway Series<\/p>\nSome quick notes about the Subway Series<\/p>\n
I thought the Yankees were supposed to take pitches, but excepting a couple of innings where some Mets pitchers struggled, they really didn’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While a limited sample size, Jeter’s range looks very very suspect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My unofficial analysis suggests it was 70-30 Mets fans on Friday, and closer to 60-40 on Sunday, although most of the Yankees fans left on Sunday before they had anything to cheer about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shake Shack continues to have ridiculous lines.\u00a0\u00a0 Need more grills!<\/p>\n
In the past Subway Series games, especially Sunday night, have been rowdy and violent to the point of almost making it unfun.\u00a0 This wasn’t the case this series, I was there for both a loss and a win, and it never progressed much past good-natured ribbing.\u00a0 There will probably be more fights by the 5th inning against the Phillies Tuesday than all weekend.<\/p>\n
The Yankees injuries have messed with the bench most of all.\u00a0 It’s not as big a deal when they play AL ball, but when they need pinch hitters they are woefully unprepared.\u00a0 I wonder if they could use a guy like Gary Matthews Jr?<\/p>\n
Big thanks to the Mets for emailing me some postgame wrap up notes after the game yesterday.\u00a0 I was pretty tired after driving back, but some interesting notes that I didn’t catch myself.\u00a0 The so called “Bronx Bombers” did not hit a home run in the series, and the Mets only hit two, both by Bay.\u00a0 This ties the least amount of home runs for a Subway Series and is only the third time in a series the Yankees have not hit one.<\/p>\n
That was the first Interleague loss for C.C. Sabathia since June 15th, 2007.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a bad day for former AL Cy Young award winners, besides ours, as Halladay, C.C. and Greinke all got roughed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Empire State Building will be blue and orange tonight for the Mets victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
