The Yankees set a Citi Field attendance record with a paid crowd of 42,020 on Friday night. According to various reports, there were also some Mets fans in the stands.

Saturday afternoon’s game is just about sold out, BUT, there will be a limited number of standing room tickets on sale for the contest (this info is straight from the Mets PR department). Tickets will go on sale on Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. exclusively at the Citi Field Ticket windows at the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. FYI, game time is 4:10 PM.

So if you want to see the Yankees tomorrow and don’t yet have tickets, you still have a shot if you get up early and get out to Flushing by 9 AM.

According to The New York Times, Mets reliever Taylor Buchholz — who is already on the DL with shoulder discomfort — is also struggling with depression and anxiety.

Apparently, Buchholz experienced problems with the medication he was taking to control his mental issues. From the Times:

Yankees 5 Mets 1

One game beyond the season’s halfway point and the Mets are back to .500.

Verlander (and Tigers) 5 Mets 2

You can’t get too upset about this one. Justin Verlander is other-worldly this year. And in fact, the fact the Mets scored a run off of him and made him look human in the early innings should be seen as some kind of small success.
