Dogs and Cats Living Together...Mass Hysteria!

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Those quotes from Ghostbusters remind me of the current feeling today as Yankees fans and Mets fans will both be rooting for the other team for a weekend. Although usually enemies, fans of the Yanks and the Metropolitains will actually be forgoing their dislike for the Subway rivals and rooting hard for them to crush their divisional foes.

The Yankees play host to the defending World Series champion Phillies in their brand new ballpark in the Bronx. The Yankees have won 9 in a row and the Phillies have won 6 of 7. If you think the New Yankee Stadium is a bandbox, just wait until you see what happens for this series with the homerun power on both sides.

In Boston, the Yankees will be rooting on the New York Mets as they head to Fenway Park in a rematch of the 1986 World Series. It's been 69 innings since the Mets had a homerun and they'll try to end that streak this weekend.

Santana vs. Dice-K. Cole Hamels vs. CC Sabathia. This should be a fun weekend to open interleague play. And while I'll be rooting on my Yankees, I'll also be echoing WFAN: "Let's Go Mets...F-A-N...doo doo doo!" Should be a fun weekend
