Game Thread: New York Yankees @ New York Mets 9/18

The New York Yankees and the New York Mets are prepared to fight for bragging rights, city control and overall standings in their respected playoff pictures tonight inside Citi Field. The Subway Series returns to Major League Baseball tonight as the Mets and their fans try and ignore the past 17 years of the series that the Yankees have dominated, especially if they do well in this series, while the Yankees just go back to business as usual after a much needed day off yesterday. The Yankees will send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound tonight to face off against the Mets starter and rookie Steven Matz. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB Network, WPIX Channel 11 for the Mets feed and MLB TV.
