Yankees beat the Braves and the Mets beat the Rays, which meant Boomer & Craig entered the Allstate Studio early Wednesday morning with a whole lot to talk about.
Alex Rodriguez hit his 23rd career grand slam, matching Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig's record, and the New York Yankees scored six runs in the eighth inning to rally for a 6-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.
Ultimately, this is a team that has a very small margin for error, and they have committed way too many errors to survive.
The weekend at Bernie's wasn't very much fun for the Mets.
The Yankees beat the Braves 3-0 in Atlanta and are now tied atop the AL East with the Rays. According to Craig, this is merely an indication that all things are right in the world.
Ivan Nova combined with four relievers on a five-hitter and the New York Yankees beat the Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Monday night to claim a share of first place in the AL East for the first time in seven weeks.
Terry Collins was worried that the error David Wright just made could lead to trouble. With the way the Yankees have hit this month, who could blame him?
Russell Martin and the homer-happy Yankees appeared a little out of practice when it came to celebrating a game-winning homer. No matter, they sent the Mets back to Queens without a win to show for their Bronx trip.
After watching their beloved Mets get man-handled in the Bronx by the Yankees over the weekend, Boomer & Craig took their seats next to one another in the Allstate Studio early this Monday morning, ready to break it all down and do a little venting.
It was not an easy weekend for any Met fan to digest. They came to the Bronx with such hope because they had overacheived this season. And they got swept by their cross-town rivals.
Russell Martin led off the ninth with his second homer of the game and the New York Yankees took advantage of some shoddy infield defense to beat the Mets 5-4.
Mark Teixeira hit a go-ahead homer and Phil Hughes won his third straight decision, sending the New York Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Mets on Saturday night.
Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner had another setback in his slow recovery from a strained right elbow.
The Mets have bigger fish to fry than one game in the middle of the season, even if it is against a cross-town rival that their fan base vehemently dislikes.
Robinson Cano homered twice and hit one of three straight long balls off an ineffective Santana to lead the Yankees to victory.
Neil Keefe and Sweeny Murti look at the Yankees after two months of play with the Mets headed to the Stadium this weekend for the first part of the Subway Series.
Yankees fans are like a billionaire's baby – we're accustomed to a certain lifestyle, yet we've done little to earn it. Add to that a housefly's patience and adolescent's maturity and you've got the emblem of Evil Empires.
What could be better than the celebration of New York baseball each summer?
For the first time since interleague play began in 1997, Mariano Rivera will not be part of the Yankees-Mets matchup.
The term "Subway Series" used to mean something once upon a time. It signified an intra-city World Series battle. Yankees-Giants, Yankees-Dodgers. Something real.
Joba Chamberlain released news so fresh on Thursday that even his manager was caught off-guard.
Johan Santana made history the last time he took the mound. A win over the Yankees might be satisfying enough this time.
The guys took a call from a fella named Peter and he had, had just about enough of Craig claiming to be a loyal Mets fan, while at the same time openly rooting for the Yankees.
With the Subway Series fast approaching, Al Dukes reached out to one of the best analysts in the business. I'm talking of course about John Flaherty, who is one who still gets pumped-up when the two New York teams hook-up for interleague play.
