Ever since 2000, when the Yankees stuck it to the Mets in the World Series 4 games to 1, my dislike of the Mets has been tempered. They're reasonably well behaved on the field, they've got good coaches, they play well, and they conduct themselves professionally and show a passion for the game. Their fans have much to learn about baseball but that will come in time.
Anyway the Yankees lost to the Mets 6-2, setting up a dramatic finale between A.J. Burnett, who is coming off a cooler kickingly bad start at Fenway, and Santana, who started fast but has cooled off. And if you didn't know, the Yankees passed on Santana last year when he was a free agent. Over the last 5 years, nobody has numbers quite like his, as he has established himself as the premier pitcher in baseball. It should be an interesting rubber match.
