The Boogie Down Bronx was jumping over excitement with Roger "The Rocket" Clemens starting against Oliver Perez and the Mets on Friday night.  The Yankees were winners of their last nine and the Mets lost their last five and nine of ten.  Perez let Yankees on base but worked out of trouble.  Clemens was solid but the hard luck 2-0 loser.
                         
I was disappointed to see the Yankees lose in person at the Stadium, especially since the Red Sox beat Barry Balco and the Giants, to gain a game in the AL East lead. 
                                                     
However, the Yankees won on Saturday and Sunday but in ways I didn't expect.  For instance, Clippard didn't pitch great but neither did Glavine.  Glavine is a future Hall of Fame pitcher going for his 296th career victory.  The way to beat him is to take pitches as the Tigers did last Sunday in Detroit and the Yankees did on Saturday.  The introduction of Questec has done him no favors as he normally gets the called strike even if it is two or three strikes off the plate.

The weather for each game was as unpredictable as the pitching.  Friday night was cool -- I thought I should have brought a jacket.  Saturday had a 40 minute rain delay.  Sunday night was hot and muggy.  Wang pitched 8.2 great innings. 
         
Bottom Line: I expected the Yankees to win Friday and Sunday, not Saturday and Sunday to tie the season series at 3 wins each.  The Mets still enjoy a 1.5 game lead in the NL East.  The Yankees are 8.5 games behind the Red Sox and 3.5 games behind the Tigers for the Wild Card.  Let's hope the Yankees and Mets meet again in October so I can have Subway Series closure and to help stimulate the local economy.  That's when the real bragging rights are on the line.
