Yanks are back.. where did the Mets go?

Well the N.Y. Yankees have won two in a row to the Chicago White Sox. Abreu is back in the 3 hole and he is starting to hit. Chien Ming Wang pitched a complete game 5 hitter and threw 104 pitches. Its about time Torre gives his bullpen a rest. I think this can be a start for the N.Y. Yankees to make a comeback as the Red Sox have now lost 4 straight games. If the Yankees want to make up some ground now is the time to do it.

Now if we move a little East towards Flushing, Queens we greet the N.Y. Mets at Shea Stadium. As a Yankee fan I sure enjoyed that game. I sat underneath the screen about 1o rows behind homeplate AND the Mets lost. But I am not hear to rant. The Mets are on a little bit of a slide themsleves. The two teams predicted by many to be in the World Series this year (Mets and Red Sox) are starting to slip just a little bit. In addition Endy Chavez is now hurt. The Mets got a bonus last night because Met killer Pat Burell was not in the lineup however in a pinch hit appearance he struck out. Nonetheless the Mets still lost after Jimmy Rollins hit a huge 3 run shot on a 3-2 pitch as the fans were all standing and cheering in hopes for a strikeout. The Mets however still hold a 3.5 game lead in the division. The most questionable decision last night by the Mets was to take out Orlando El Duque Hernandez who went 6 solid innings. I guess Randolph's training from Torre is starting to kick in.
