Neil Keefe breaks down the five topics of conversation that will be covered on TV and radio this weekend during the most intriguing Subway Series in recent years.
If you told me in mid-April that the Mets would be the surprise story of the National League, over .500 with several players poised to play in the All-Star Game, I would have (justifiably) demanded a urine sample.
After covering years and years of the Subway Series, I can always tell when the encounter has some juice. Yankees fans gets more snarky about the Mets. They'll downplay the series as an unimportant break in their schedule. That's what I've been hearing this week.
Two wins would secure Subway Series bragging rights to the Bronx. But not so fast, Yankees fans. Despite Thursday afternoon's loss to Detroit, the Mets have been on a tear.
It was quite a quartet of games. After being routed by the Rangers in Texas to begin their interleague journey, and before being vanquished by Justin Verlander in Detroit to complete their trip, the Mets spent four days in offensive nirvana.
The Mets host the Yankees this weekend at Citi Field as the two clubs meet for the second time this season, but this time around the Bombers will be without the player who has dominated this interleague rivalry -- Derek Jeter.

After a caller suggested the Yankees would go on a home run hitting spree this weekend at Citi Field, Craig set the over-under at 5 for the total number of long balls the Bombers will accumulate in the 3-game series.
The clock finally struck 12 o'clock for the Mets. Their offensive explosion is over.
Before Jerry "Rello" Recco could even begin his first update of the morning, Craig went out a limb and predicted a Mets sweep this weekend over the Yankees. Mind you he did not "lock it up," but he did offer the bold prediction. Do with it what you wish.
It's a holiday weekend and Friday's edition of the Boomer & Carton Morning Extravaganza was all about the upcoming Subway Series at Citi Field.

Like the Mets need more offense? David Wright, on the mend from a stress fracture in his lower back, could be ready for a rehab assignment in "seven, eight days," Mets manager Terry Collins said on Wednesday.
Mets manager Terry Collins is optimistic left-hander Jonathon Niese will be able to make his next start against the Yankees on Friday after experiencing a rapid heartbeat while pitching last weekend.
The Mets are ridiculously hot, and according to the Shmoozer, "If I'm Justin Verlander, I'm thinking right now, 'How the heck am I gonna beat the New York Metropolitans (on Thursday)?'"
With the Yankees and the Mets both playing great baseball, Craig was not going out too far on a limb when he declared New York to be "Baseball Central."
Scott Hairston launched a bases-loaded triple and Ronny Paulino contributed four hits as part of another offensive barrage by the New York Mets, who beat the Detroit Tigers 16-9 on Wednesday night.
In the final year of Carlos Beltran's 7-year, $119 million deal, most people think the Mets might peddle him before the July 31 trading deadline. And I say -- hold on. Not so fast.
Carlos Beltran is having the type of season that could net him a nice payday in free agency. The cash-strapped Mets are unlikely to sign him after this season, and it sounds like Beltran knows a trade is probably in the cards.
Derek Jeter ran the bases for the first time on Tuesday since suffering a strained right calf on June 13, yet the Yankees remain tight-lipped on when their captain will return.
