VENUE: Shea Stadium While the Subway Series may have lost some of its luster in the eyes of some of its participants, the New York Mets still can earn a little more respect in the crosstown rivalry. The National League East-leading Mets hope to build off their recent success against the New York Yankees when the teams kick off a three-game interleague series at Shea Stadium on Friday. The Yankees (23-16) lead the all-time series 29-19. However, the Mets (24-16) won four of the six meetings in 2004 and split the series last season. The Mets have a two-game lead over second-place Philadelphia, while the Yankees trail first-place Boston by just a half-game in the AL East. The Mets' resurgence this season has made the series a bit more interesting for the fans, but some of the players aren't nearly as excited. "I think it's a great show for the fans," said slugger Carlos Delgado, taking part in his first Subway Series. "But as a player, it's a pain." Added Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter: "We play them all the time. You know it's exciting because the fans are excited and you feed off the atmosphere. ... But they're not in our league, they're not in our division." The Mets enter the series on the heels of a 3-6 road trip that ended with Thursday's 6-3 loss to St. Louis. Carlos Beltran hit a two-run homer and Jose Valentin added a solo shot for the Mets, who have lost their last three series after beginning the season with eight series wins and two splits. "Well, the road trip is in the past," said Beltran, who has five homers and 13 RBIs in his last 12 games. "As a team, you go through a lot of ups and downs. You know, we're hitting a bump and we're looking forward to getting out of it." The injury-riddled Yankees have dropped three of five, including Thursday's 6-2 loss to Texas. Johnny Damon singled in both runs for the Yankees, who committed two errors and have 17 in their last 11 games. Bubba Crosby left the game with a strained right hamstring. Gary Sheffield (left wrist and hand) and Hideki Matsui (broken left wrist) are already on the disabled list, and manager Joe Torre said Crosby could land there, depending on how he feels Friday. Struggling Randy Johnson (5-4, 5.13 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees. Johnson lost his second straight start on Sunday, allowing four runs and eight hits - including two homers - in six innings of a 6-1 defeat to Oakland. The hard-throwing lefty gave up three runs in the first inning Sunday, two on a homer by Mark Kotsay that ended a 36-start homerless streak against left-handed batters. After starting the season with three solid starts, he is 3-3 with a 6.89 ERA in his last six. "There's nobody more frustrated than me. I'm not pitching the way I'm accustomed to pitching," said Johnson. Johnson was dominant in three starts at Shea Stadium from 2002-04, allowing two runs and 16 hits while striking out 37 in 23 1-3 innings. In a road start against the Mets last season, he was tagged for four runs and 12 hits with only five strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings during a 7-1 loss on May 21. Overall, Johnson is 6-4 with a 2.50 ERA in 12 career starts against the Mets. The Mets will counter with Jeremi Gonzalez (0-0, 5.40), who gave up three runs and five hits in five innings of the Mets' 9-8 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, but did not receive a decision. Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to help a rotation that has been plagued by injuries to Brian Bannister (right hamstring), Victor Zambrano (right elbow) and John Maine (right middle finger). Manager Willie Randolph has said Gonzalez and Jose Lima, who was knocked out in the fifth inning Thursday, are auditioning for one spot in the rotation while Bannister recovers from his injury. Gonzalez is 1-2 with a 4.30 ERA in seven career appearances, including three starts, against the Yankees. http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/gamece...060519_NYY@NYM

JDPNYY's Interleague Rant

The AL Teams are at a disadvantage when they play in the NL Cities. Their rosters are not built to play without the DH. The NL can simply insert their best pinch hitter as the DH. No disadvantage for them when playing in an AL City.

The NL is one of the only (if not, the only) Leagues in all of baseball that does not use the DH Rule.

I say, if the NL wants to play without a DH, that's fine. They can choose to let their pitchers hit. The AL should not be made to play by old rules. The American League teams should be allowed to use a DH WHENEVER they play. Regular Season or World Series.

I'd rather that they just skip interleague play altogether in the regular season. I'm fine with the way the the DH is handled in the postseason.

Agreed 100%, **** the NL, and **** the Mets.

[38Special]

Our lineup looks fairly normal without the DH, excluding Bernie in LF

Interesting thought. How's that for a response?

At least I got a few people to respond this time.

[JDPNYY]

Why are you fine with the way the DH is handled in the World Series? Why should the NL get an advantage?

[yankee maniac]

Anyone know how the weather is in Queens? Its raining pretty hard right now in Staten Island

They need it.

It's clear.

We have scattered T-storms tonight, but we'll get this in.

There's no way that Randy Johnson should have to step into the batter's box tonight unless the Yankees pull their DH for some reason.

[CoyoteYankee]

Good evening thread heads! I am not looking forward to this series. I hate playing the Mets. Anyway, let's see if RJ can somehow find something tonight. I hope so!

[ZYanksRule]

That was a great tease by Kay

[#1PaFan]

Howdy Heads! How are all you animals doing tonight?

[in MO I trust 42]

:ny: Let's Go Yankees!!! :ny:

[JDPNYY]

That was a great tease by Kay

I think his head actually got larger over the days he had off from broadcasting the games.

[CoyoteYankee]

That was a great tease by Kay

I missed it! I usually like his lead ins though.

[LDG]

Evening folks. I sure hope Randy has something special tonight.

[Bub]

Howdy Heads! How are all you animals doing tonight?

Except for this massive head cold, TITS!

Anybody got lineups?

[TalkYank]

Hmmm.. I can't seem to find the game on MLB extra innings tonight...

[apolansk]

MLBtv sound is f'd up again

[JDPNYY]

I think we can all agree... Shea is such a pretty stadium.

[LDG]

Anybody got lineups?

I agree. Isolated areas. Even if it does rain, it doesn't look like it's going to stick around...

Pretty much looks like a toilet

The Toilet in Flushing.

[sano]

Has anyone had any success playing MLB.TV feeds via Windows Media Player without the MLB.com shell?

[Bub]

See post #5

OK - thanks. For some reason, this page won't load all the way...probably something to do with the mess in the middle of it. It should go away on page 2.

Edit: And it did.

[JDPNYY]

Pretty...yea.

Come on. It's beautiful. And such a rich history. It's clearly a National Treasure.

Same here.
Gotta see if I can find a radio feed for this game somewhere

[Bub]

What time was the always forgotten 2nd pitch thrown?

Some things just get missed. I've always felt bad for the second to the last of the Mohicans.

Capn' with the RBI!

[JDPNYY]

Suddenly it's 1 to Nothing.
