If you’re a big fan of the subway series, you’re in for a treat. If you hate it…well, I hope you have something else to do this weekend. Mets. Yankees. Yankee Stadium. One last time before they blow the place up.

Assuming its nice enough to play about an hour ago, Johan Santana takes the mound. Santana is 4-2, 3.10 ERA. He’s 3-0, 2.66 against the Yankees, but all those starts come as a Twin, and entering the series he has the best Interleague Play ERA. The Mets have won the last five Santana starts. He faces off against Darrell Rasner , 2-0 3.00 ERA. The Mets broke him in his sole appearance against them, during which he gave up two runs prior to leaving with an injury, no outs recorded. Rasner will most likely honor Lino Urdaneta by making at least one out this evening.

The mighty Johan gets to give his bat a rest, and Marlon Anderson will take the role as DH this evening. The once and future king of pinch hitting is .386 career against the Bombers, including 8 doubles and 3 HRs. David Wright is slacking behind him, with a mere .323 and 15 RBIs. The hittingest man in Interleague play is Arod , and he is still out on the DL. Unfortantely, #2 on the list is Derek Jeter , who’s hitting .381 against the Mets. In his sole at bat against Rasner, Jose Reyes singled and was promptly caught stealing. Ryan Church has never faced the Yankees.

Weather permitting, game time is 7:10 and can be caught pretty much on any channel that shows baseball. The game will be on SNY and YES in most markets, though can be found in parts of NY on the CW. Listen to it on the radio at WFAN 660AM. And come argue about all sorts of stuff with your fellow fans, and maybe even the enemy over at the Hot Foot Bleachers .
