One would think that over two games in which emergency starter Claudio Vargas and no. 5 starter Mike Pelfrey gave up three runs in 14 innings, the Mets would manage at least one win against the lowly Washington Nationals and off-brand pitchers Tim Redding and Jason Bergmann. One would be wrong. Similarly, one would think that the Yankees could figure out a way to avoid being slapped around as the Tampa Bay Rays mounted a charge toward first place, and one would again be wrong. The Subway Series, which starts tonight at Yankee Stadium, is no battle for honor between two hardened champions, but a pair of bums fighting over a ham sandwich in an alley.
