Starved New Yorkers can dream about a Subway Series again
NY Post
We will try to be respectful here because there is still much work ahead before we can talk about this for real. The Yankees rid themselves — and their city — of one impediment, the Kansas City Royals, by eliminating them at Kauffman Stadium on Thursday night, 3-1, wrapping up a thoroughly businesslike 3-1 American League Division Series.
So they are four games from their first World Series bid since 2009, and they’ll merrily watch the Guardians and the Tigers on Saturday and hope that they play about 5½ hours and burn through both bullpens.
They join the Mets in baseball’s final four, the Mets on Thursday enjoying the first of three straight off days before they’ll begin the quest to win the four games they require for their first World Series appearance since 2015. They’ll spend a serene Friday night rooting for the Padres and the Dodgers to tangle 18 innings or so before learning if they fly into LAX or two hours south down I-5.
So yes, neither the Yankees nor the Mets even know who their next opponents will be, so it probably makes little sense to start thinking about a Subway Series right now.
You know what?
Let’s start thinking about it anyway.
