Yankees, Mets and Jets all converge for insane NY Sports Armageddon on Monday

The day of days.Or so they call it. Monday, Oct.

14: Within the span of just over four hours, the Mets, Yankees and Jets will take the field. No, none of their seasons are literally on the line, though at least in two cases, they may as well be. In baseball, the Mets look to right a lopsided ship.The Yankees look to take the wheel.The Jets look to prove to the pundits, Fireman Ed and the rest of the football-watching world that they haven’t already sunk. New York, welcome to Armageddon.First pitch: 4:08 p.m.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, though, are a different kind of beast. Sunday night, well, do we need to rehash Sunday night?Tonight, Sean Manaea takes the mound in Dodgers Stadium as the Mets look to even the series one apiece. The lefty has seen the Dodgers many a time in the past three years (Manaea spent 2023 with the Giants and 2022 with the Padres), and many a time, the Dodgers have bested him: 11 career games, 7.09 ERA. But nothing is the way it was in 2023.And 2022, in Mets fandom years, was an eon ago. The crown jewels of L.A.’s lineup shined on Sunday night — Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman combined for five hits, while New York was limited to just three in an all-around lackluster performance.
