Had on WFAN this morning. Listened to lots of unhappy Yankees fans calling in. Especially with Boone. I think this was a point Gugny has made over the years but the Yankees aren't ever winning a World Series with him as manger. A seemingly decent guy but not a championship type manager.
The rivalry between the Yanks/Mets to me isn't really that big a thing anymore. I looked at the series as more important to the Mets as getting back on winning track vs NYC bragging rights. In the past I admit I wouldn't have saw the series like that.
No biggie on today's game. The Yankees really needed it more than the Mets to win. I liked that Mendoza got thrown out there at the end. I'm a fan of managers making scenes like that every now and then if they feel they're being screwed over. So be it it's not like every day. Then the outbursts lose their meaning.
