The Mets are in a real hole now. After being swept by the Phillies this weekend, the Mets are now 4 games behind the division leaders and 1 behind the Florida Marlins. Yesterday afternoon's game could have been the most devastating of the series. There were two innings in which the Mets had at least 2 runners on with less than 2 outs and failed to score. Had they cashed in on 1 of those opportunities, the game might have gone into extra innings.
Johan Santana pitched well enough to win, only allowing solo home runs by Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley. That bad feeling really swept over me after Rollins' home run led off the bottom of the first. Right now, the Mets can ill afford to be down early on in games. I can't say that enough.
Now the Mets must win series' from the NL best LA Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds. The Mets really need to go 4-2 in these last 6 games before the All-Star break.
The Yankees continue to be hot to begin July after finishing June hot. In July, the Yankees are 4-1 coming into tonight's series finale with the Blue Jays. Andy Pettite will be on the mound going for the 4 game sweep.
The Yankees current hot streak finds them only 1 game behind division leading Boston. The Yankees seem to be doing everything right of late to get the job done. They do not look at all like the team that struggled out of the gate.
The Yankees play the Minnesota Twins ans LA Angels to end the first half of their season.
