“Iâ€™m still bummed that we lost El Duqueâ€¦what a long man/reliever he would have been for the last 2-3 years.”

i was a huge Duque fan, but i think the last thing the Yankees needed the last few years was another pitcher they could never count on to be healthy.

that and i’m not sure how his stuff would have fared in the AL. i’m guessing not well.

I believe the Angels/Dodgers have alternate home-road schedules as well. I guess in NY the strains on the traffic might have something to do with it, but, seriously, folks, there is ALWAYS too much traffic in NY! And it’s NEVER easy getting to NY from NJ, unless you time it perfectly. And there’s plenty of hotel rooms, aren’t there, for the visitors (players and fans)? I think this just makes it easier to schedulers, in a way. It’s a set rule – if the Yankees are home, the Mets are away, and they continue accordingly.

“I think itâ€™s a MLB thing that gives the weaker drawing team a chance to be the only game in town on homestands.”

Pete, you wouldn’t believe some of the things I’ve managed to write 700 words tonight.

I have to miss the game tonight and will have to catch it on glorious YES replay…

I think the Pope is the reason the Yanks and Mets have as much overlap this year as they do this year.
