I didn’t notice until this morning, but on Tuesday night the Yankees passed the Mets for best record in New York. The Yankees and Mets are the same number of games over .500, but the Yankees winning percentage is .598 to the Mets .597. That should make the Boss happy.
Update: And they broke ground for a new Yankees Stadium!
But check out the standings NL East vs. AL East.
Pathetic.
Just means the Mets are the best team in an otherwise middling to bad division. For that matter, in an otherwise middling to bad league. Is the NL really a “major” league anymore?
If you ask me, it ain’t real baseball if the pitcher doesn’t hit…
This isn’t the first time the Yanks have had a better record than the Mets – it’s happened on and off (I believe) since the All-Star break when the Yanks when on a tear.
I don’t know why you used the exclamation point for the new Yankee Stadium unless it’s one of outrage. Upper deck in Yankee Stadium used to be a great view. In the new one it will be like all upper-deck views, a view from atop a multi-story luxury box/vomitorium.
Staples Center is the most egregious example of this, because it’s three floors of luxury boxes. When you look at how far up they’ve shoved the (most passionate) fans in the upper deck, you think the revolution can’t come soon enough.
Note to National Security Agency — I am not officially advocating that the revolution can’t come soon enough. Please don’t hurt me.
