    • Series of The Week:

    I’m looking forward to the New York Mets vs. New York Yankees (June 18-June 20, 2010). The Mets won the first round of the 2010 Subway Series, so I’m looking forward to the next go around. It should be fun and both teams have a chance to go into that series in first place in their divisions.
