Looking at the calendar prior to the start of the season, I don’t think many expected the Yankees and Mets would be out of a playoff spot when the Subway Series rolled around at the end of July. The pair of New York outfits have been two of the biggest disappointments of the campaign, the Yankees barely treading water in a tie for last in the division while the sub-.500 Mets require a miracle of biblical proportions to sneak into the postseason. Two games in the Bronx will hardly cement either team’s fate, but could be instrumental in determining the course the Yankees take at the trade deadline.
