Mets 9, Dodgers 5
Satisfying win with a fun 6th inning comeback, a sweep. Big payroll team with good attitude. They won with the Willie Randolph method: If the opposing pitchers ain't serving up fat ones, well, everybody knows how to hit singles. Can't say how their starting pitching will hold up over a 7 game series. But I'm not worried about the bullpin.
While I would've enjoyed a Subway Series,I'll have no objections to the Tigers getting there against the Mets. In fact, Detroit played like the Yanks were supposed to play at 1/3rd the cost. The Yankees record of futility for the past six years is one of teams with superstar salaries & reps, automatic expectations, good-to-great regular seasons, & not much hunger for winning the big prize. The 04 & 05 series, both boring 4-0 sweeps, at least featured winning teams that played like they wanted it & were enjoying the journey.
The 10th & last of the fantastic Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, the USS George W.H. Bush, will be launched from drydock into the James River tomorrow. It won't be fully outfitted & officially commissioned until 2009. It is one my dreams to tour a Nimitz. It's a very big boat.

I pick my spots in both. I follow baseball & college basketball, that's all. Might watch a quarter of football on occasion if I'm bored enough. In politics I'm oriented to issues, not politicians. The only really interesting politicians are either dead or in jail.
