New York Yankees at New York Mets

At 3:55pm our selection is on the New York Mets over the New York Yankees.  On Friday, the Mets and Yankees played an extremely rare "split-stadium" doubleheader, facing each other twice on the same day, with one game in each other's home park.  And the irony of all of this is of course that neither home crowd was happy with the results as the Mets bombed the bombers in Yankee stadium in game 1 behind Carlos Delgado's amazing nine RBI, and the the Yankees returned the favor in the evening at Shea Stadium by a score of 9-0.  If new Mets Manager Jerry Manuel wasn't already on the hot seat he certainly is now after this embarrassing loss at the hands of the Yankees and the most unlikeliest of shutout starters in Sidney Ponson.  This afternoon's matchup can't come soon enough for the Mets and Manuel as they are back at their home park with their ace, Johan Santana taking the mound.  Never mind that Santana gave up a grand slam to an American League pitcher (Felix Hernandez) in his last start (the first grand slam by an AL hurler in more than 30 years), or the fact that his team in 0-4 in his last four starts because the Mets would rather focus on Santana's success against the Yankees for the past four plus years.  Since 2003 the Twins went 6-3 against the Yankees when Santana took the mound, and his new team already has a win against them in 2008 when Santana faced off against his old AL rivals back on May 17.  Interleague TV Game of the Year on the Mets.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
