Yankees/Mets Face Similar Foes
The Yankees and Mets are both scuffling along right now - well below expectations - and both are facing teams this weekend who are performing even LOWER than their own pre-season expectations.
The Yankees are drubbing a Seattle team that has been one of the two biggest underachievers in the American League (Detroit is the other) after being a popular darkhorse pick in the preseason.
The Mets have traveled out to Colorado to face a Rockies team that has to be the most disappointing team thus far in the NL, given their spirited finish last year that landed them in the World Series (before they got clobbered by the Red Sox).
Just seems funny that the 2 NY teams seem to have run into similar opponents at the 1/4 pole and Memorial Day weekend. It looks as if the Yanks might be breaking out of their funk - can the Mets do the same?
