Adam Rubin, the Mets beat reporter for the News, posted in his blog when the Yanks record surpassed the Mets that the Yanks are the kings of New York, the NY team he'd bet on being in the playoffs. This was behind the back cover declaring the same.
Why is this guy blogging about the Mets? And now that the Mets have a better record than the Yanks again, can we expect a back cover heralding their triumph as the kings of New York?
Of course not. The fact that the Mets have been in first place since May 16 and are clearly the best team in their division doesn't matter next to the Yanks being on the march. How far the mighty have fallen, when the best they can say is that they have (excuse me, had) a better record than the team they've always regarded as their inferiors anyway. It almost amuses me to hear Yankee fans talk about the records, when it obviously doesn't matter whether the Yanks have a better record than the Mets-- all that matters is their record against the Red Sox.
And I think we all know how that's going.
ETA: Rubin is on the Francessa Sports Final tonight. I wonder how much he'll piss me off there? I bet the guy is a Yankee fan.
