New York Mets at New York Yankees
Sunday, 8:05 pm Eastern – ESPN
The Mets and Yankees could both use the emotion of this series. "Being a [former] player, I understand how important it is to the city," Yankees’ manager Joe Girardi said. "It's amazing to me. It's kind of like a playoff atmosphere to me, because of the senses of all the fans. When you're walking someplace, whether they're a Mets fan or a Yankees fan, there's a lot more responses. I think it's enjoyable and I think it's great for the game." Neither team is scoring much lately so pitching could decide the series. The Yankees are still without Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada. "You definitely want to have bragging rights in your city," the Yankees’ Johnny Damon said. "Every game we play we've got to go out and play like it's the Mets series or a Red Sox series. Shame on us if we can't get up. We need to come ready to play against any team, rivalry or no rivalry." The series is also important to the Mets and manager Willie Randolph. There are rumors that his job may be in jeopardy if the team flops this weekend against the Yankees. The Mets and Yankees split six games last season. Overall, the Yankees lead in the all-time series 35-25 against the Mets.
