If you want story lines and baseball news, this upcoming weekend should fill that void in your life. The first major story is of course the subway series as the Mets take on the Yankees in Citi Field and try to avenge themselves after that 15-0 loss against the Yanks earlier this month. The Mets just took 3 of 4 from the Cards, who play good baseball, and they now have to do it again against the Yanks who are also playing well. If that isn't enough New York Baseball, you could go to the Cyclones game on Sunday and see Oliver Perez pitch a rehab game. Speaking of the Cyclones, if you are in Maryland, you go on Saturday in Aberdeen (really strange how they split up the games this weekend in terms of locations) and see John Maine pitch in his rehab game. I wonder if he will get any special attention in Aberdeen because he was an Oriole prospect before making his way to the Mets.
There are other events going on this weekend as well as the entire NL East will take on the entire AL East including the Subway Series (New York vs New York, duh), the Beltway Series (Washington vs Baltimore, watching them promote this has been pathethic), whatever they call the series when the Rays play the Marlins, and to round off the set, the Red Sox vs the Braves and the Phillies vs the Blue Jays. Other big series this weekend include Chicago vs Chicago.
Should be a good weekend of baseball.
