Second in the AL East, but first in our hearts.

Only a delusional whore like Mike Lupica would actually push the Yankees vs. Mets storyline:

"With the Yankees stuck in second, the Mets have gone from last place in the NL East to first place in the NL East as fast as Jose Reyes."

The Yankees are 13-7.

"Stuck" in second place is just 2.5 games behind the Rays ... only 2 games back on the loss side! ... with, ummm, let's see ... 142 games to play.

But maybe Lupica is upset because the Yankees are three games ahead of the Boston Big Papis.


Also, one other thing: The Yankees are the current World Series Champions.

The Mets are not the current World Series Champions.
