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.

Derek Jeter went through his latest round of rehab work Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., and Yankees GM Brian Cashman said if all goes well over the next couple of days Jeter might begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Trenton.
