The Yankees will start 21 year old AAA pitcher Tyler Clippard tonight on ESPN’s national broadcast against the Met’s 5-1 John Maine

Can anybody tell me the last time the Mets swept the Yankees?

Well the boys in blue dispatched with the boys in darker blue tonight in the interleague, intracity rivalry.  Oliver Perez looked sharp; the Yankees look bewildered.  As the Prince of New York notes, George has got to be ready to blow a gasket by now.

The Mets, on the other hand, are looking sharp.  The win pulled Perez above the .500 mark at 4-5.  With John Maine and Tom Glavine pitching well, the Mets are looking better than they did a year ago.

Unfortunately so are the Braves…

 Well, that was wild:

The ball left the bat of Carlos Delgado and bounced beyond the reach of Cubs second baseman Ryan Theriot and beyond the stretch of the Mets’ imagination. The final moments of the season’s most improbable victory were unfolding, an instant after the final fold of the Cubs dotted-line bullpen.
