Read: Subway Series Debate
Over at SNY.tv our very own Matthew Cerrone from MetsBlog and Steve Lombardi, who writes the very informative Yankees blog WasWatching, which is part of the SNY.tv blog Network, go head-to-head and debate this weekend’s Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees.
Each give their reasons on how their team will win this weekend’s showdown.
Cerrone believes the Mets pitching staff will be the determining factor in the Mets ability to take two of three versus the Yankees, but thinks the Mets have more to lose this weekend than their crosstown rival, writing…
“The thing is, and what worries me, is that I believe the Mets have far more to lose this weekend by being embarrassed by the Yankees, than the Yankees have to lose by being embarrassed by the Mets. The expectations for the Mets coming in to this season were much higher than for the Yankees, and so – for the first time in a long while – there may actually be more pressure on the Mets.”
Lombardi also believes pitching is the Yankees key to winning the series, however history is on their side, writing…
“Since 1997, the Mets have come into Yankee Stadium 10 times during the regular season (prior to this series). And, in only one of those ten visits have the Mets ever taken two of three games from the Yankees (2005). In the other three game sets, the Yankees have taken two of the three games eight times and swept the Mets once (in 2003).”
