Subway Series 2008
We're so desperate to hear some good Yankees baseball were listening to the Tampa Yankees play the Ft. Myers Miracle. Eric Hacker is on the hill for the Yanks and has allowed 1 unearned run through 6 innings.
The big boys go at it tonight, though the heavy rains we're experiencing may cause a day-night doubleheader tomorrow or Sunday. The Yankees probably wouldn't mind that or maybe it's just us fans who wouldn't mind that.
Darrell Rasner has the task of going up against Johan Santana tonight in the opener on my9. Andy Pettitte faces Oliver Perez tomorrow afternoon, and the series concludes in a nationially televised game on Sunday night as Chien-Ming Wang faces John Maine. The best pitching match up for last.
The Mets come in at 20-19 and underachieving. Willie Randolph's days could be numbered if the Mets current play continues. Everyone is saying the team is lacking a spark and the overall attitude is not good. That usually means a manager is going to get chopped. This series could be crucial to Willie's future.
The Yankees aren't hitting at all and to make matters worse they have to face two left-handers in this series. One of which is arguably the best left-hander in baseball.
Johan Santana has heard some boo birds in his first season in Shea, which of course, is absolutely absurd behavior. The lefty is 4-2, 3.10 with 52 K's in 52.1 innings. He's got a 4:1 K/BB ratio, and a 3-game winning streak.
Some Yankees have had success against Santana including left-handed hitters Hideki Matsui (6-15 1 HR 1 RBI) and Robinson Cano (4-9). Derek Jeter has also hit .294 in 17 at-bats.
Rasner was facing the Mets last season when he suffered a broken finger on a come-backer. Hopefully he'll have better results this time around.
