The 14½ -games-behind Yankees get the front page and the back page cover stories! The 1st place Mets win their 5th in a row, in an amazing come-from-behind 12th inning victory and they get a little back page blurb.
Death to the imperialistic Yankees! All peace and blessings be upon the Mets!
Its become laughable. The Murdoch Media must have King George as a silent partner. They shill for the Yank-offs as much as they shill for Yankee fan number one in the political sphere, and I'm not talking about Hillary.
The good news is that old man Roger is not going to be enough to allow the Yankees to stage a "come from behind" akin to '78. I do give them a two season window without making it to the playoffs, however, before you start seeing the empty bleachers and upper decks that were characteristic of Yankee games in the Joe Pepitone era of the late 60s/early 70s and the Yogi Berra/Billy Martin era of the mid-late 1980s.
Oh, by the way, three mets players (Le Duca, Beltran, and Reyes) are leading in the all star voting for their respective positions. Even back in 84-89, this never happened. LET'S GO METS!!!
That was a great game.
