For baseball fans in New York, this is as big a weekend as any three-game set in May can be. The Yankees and Mets square off for city-wide bragging rights in a three-game set in the Bronx.
This year, the two New York teams are decidedly mediocre, and both are coming off of weeks to forget. The Yankees dropped three of four to the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, scoring six runs in the process. The Mets dropped three of four to the last-place Washington Nationals and find themselves just a game over .500 as rumors of a managerial dismissal for Willie Randolph swirl.
For all of your Subway Series coverage — at least from a Yankee perspective — you can check out River Ave. Blues, my Yankee blog. For the weekend service advisories, keep on reading.

The Yankees have given me night mares this year. What a frustrating season.. I think I preferred Joe Torre.
