Mets Get Chance To Undo Subway Heroics

It's not every day when the Mets get a chance to face their arch nemeses in back-to-back series, but that's what the schedule-makers ordained this week.

The Metsies send John Maine to the mound this afternoon to face Tom Glavine--the man who, after his extraordinary sabotage of the Metsies' playoff hopes in Game 162 of last season, has become my most hated Mets adversary. Claudio Vargas goes in the nightcap against Jorge Campillo.

Will the Mets revert to form and play a lackluster twin bill, thereby undoing in a single day all the good they did against the Yanks over the weekend? Or will they build upon their sweep of the Bronx Bombers by battering their divisional rivals? We shall see.
