Sure, it was a short two-game series, but any time the Mets run New York is party time — for at least one region.
Take Line 7 far enough, and you’ll reach Citi Field. The Yankees are no longer in the Bronx.
New York becomes a city of baseball again, with the Mets and Yanks vying for the top of their respective leagues. Pete Alonso & Co are expected to make the post-season in the National League to prevent an epic meltdown, but would rather fight the Braves in the NL East. Jacob Degrom’s return should help matters.
