Nike x Hello Kitty has finally arrived with one of your favorite Sanrio® characters. In roughly the same spot that Luis Castillo - the other one, the second base one, the one with infamy in the Subway Series - dropped a June 2009 two-out ninth-inning pop-up that allowed two improbable runs to score and enabled the Yankees arguably the most fortunate New York-New York victory, Yankee rookie second baseman Oswaldo Cabrera did not back off as right fielder Marwin Gonzalez called for a seventh-inning routine pop-up by Pete Alonso. The two came together on Monday night in the Castillo area - the Luis Antonio Castillo area if you need the middle name for differentiation. When Daniel Vogelbach followed two pitches later with a two-run homer, Luis Castillo - the one who last played in 2010 - was in the park, at least in spirit and muttered name.Īnd as right as the Mets being the Keystone Kops in 2009, this felt apt too for the 2022 Mets. An opening created, a possibility seized. “At that moment,” Francisco Lindor said, “momentum was on our side. This has been the endless loop of this Met season, arriving concurrently to when the brew of panic and dread has enveloped the Yankees. Domingo German, cruising surprisingly with a shutout one out into the seventh, was now removed from the game. The tenor of New York baseball in August was overt - the Mets would do what they needed to rebound, the Yankees to fall down. Pete Alonso and the Mets lost to the Yankees on Monday. Getty Imagesīut the Mets never found that next hit against Ron Marinaccio and Jonathan Loaisiga, the rotating finishers for the Yankees. That plus terrific at-bats by Andrew Benintendi and Aaron Judge versus Max Scherzer helped the Yankees win consecutive games for the first time in August and just the second time in the second half, this one 4-2. ![]() Still, six weeks from the regular-season finish line, the Mets remain the feel-good story in New York. They have a better record than the Yankees. They are rising in success and confidence just as their Bronx neighbors have been curdling. Yet they are actually the New York team in the most precarious spot to not win their division. The Yankees may be in the better overall division, but they do not have a pursuer in the AL East like the Braves, who actually have a half-game better record than the Yankees. Which is why even with all the absent offense and disappearing confidence and boos for everyone from Hal Steinbrenner to Brian Cashman to a good deal of the roster not named Judge, the Yankees still lead the AL East by eight games. Meanwhile, the Mets cling to a three-game lead over the defending fields. “It is a given that they are going to compete against us all year,” Buck Showalter said. It is the Mets’ real competition-not the illusionary New York title over the Yankees. It is why he says, “Throw out everything else, this is what we’ve got.” To that end, Showalter has a board in the Mets’ advance room at Citi Field with just the Mets and the other NL East teams stacked in order. It is why Showalter is eyeing Bryce Harper’s rehab assignment from a broken thumb that begins Tuesday. He knows the Mets are done with the Phillies this year. But he also knows Philadelphia has seven games in 10 days against Atlanta beginning Sept. 16 and that a Phillies roster with Harper is tougher. The Mets on Tuesday complete a 10-game road gauntlet through Atlanta, Philadelphia and The Bronx with their final Subway Series game (regular-season version). They do so, though, having taken the cautious approach of backing off Jacob deGrom and reinserting Taijuan Walker into the rotation.
