"Peep game from the brain of an all-star..."
Nas - Hold Down the Block
The Yankees played in prime time last night against their crosstown rival the Mets. Since the inception of inter league-play, the Subway series has been one of the crown jewels of the MLB.
Super Ego
The Yankees controlled the game for the most part of 8 innings, and once they took a lead into the latter parts of the contest, things dramatically shifted like something out a movie scene, to one of the best closers in the game...Mariano Rivera.
As the road team in a National League ball park, Rivera had to step in the batter's box, after having pitched successfully to finish out the 8th. Not only did he foul off a pitch from K-Rod, but he also walked with the bases loaded for his first career RBI.
Rivera earned save number 500, good enough for 2nd on the all-time saves list...and with the 4-2 win, the Bronx Bombers swept the weekend series earning bragging rights for another year.
