Big MLB Weekend

Here in the greater metropolitan area!

Let's start with Red Sox @ Yankees. The greatest rivalry in baseball, and the Sox drew first blood last night with a 7-0 Jon Lester complete game. Reports in the papers are that Joe G. had a loud, closed-door meeting after the game. NOT HAPPY!

Maybe they were asking A-Rod about Madonna. THE OTHER BIG YANKEE STORY IN TOWN!

As for the Good Guys - the Mets travel to the City of Brotherly Love for a series with the NL East leading Phillies. Mets are a game under .500, but only 4.5 games out of first, which is Amazin' considering how mediocre they have been through the first half of the season. Now they try to get some revenge for the drubbing the Phils gave them last year. It certainly would take the sting out of the recent past!

And just so we appear fair towards our AL compadres, here's THE BIG MET STORY IN TOWN!

Listening to R. Neer on the FAN this morning, he made some very good points about Mr. Hernandez not exactly being a Boy Scout when he played baseball. But Keith gets a pass from most Mets fans. Funny how a WS win does that!

To get some perspective, read The Bad Guys Won! (I left my first copy at customs in the Tokyo airport!)

Fireworks. On the 4th. Gonna be an interesting baseball weekend!
