NEW YORK / NEW YORK

The twain are playing for their respective League pennants.
Sport writers working 24/7 on their never ending stories.
Walked in Starbucks yesterday as I heard Sinatra singing New York/ New York.
The Mets had everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Highly improbable and reminiscent of the Miracle Mets of 1969..
Speed, hitting, pitching and defense upended the Phillies. .
Too rested they were as they lost their mojo.
Francisco Lindor ended their dreams of winning it all.

Certainly the playoffs aren’t true to form.
The stellar Yankees keep on winning as they don’t need Aaron Judge that much.
Yankee Stadium is hopping with the truest fans in baseball.
The house that Ruth built number 2, lives on forever.
.
Mets and Yankees may meet in the fall classic.
Rivalries and neighborhoods would square off for supremacy.
The economics of baseball are at play here.
My dream of a Cubs/White Sox series thrashed forever.
