Mets-Yankees gap has never been wider

08:17 AM ET 04.05 | That Subway Series seems, these days, like ancient history. The Mets and Yankees begin their 51st season as intra-city neighbors -- a word that seems more appropriate than rivals, to be sure. And if you don't count the expansion years of the early 1960s when the Marv Throneberry Mets were historically bad, the sense is that the gap between them has never been wider. Call it a matter of payroll, perception and performance. If you remember the 1980s, you know the Yankees didn't always own the city. These days it's hard to imagine the Mets ever recapturing New York the way they did then, partly because the Yankees' run of perennial championship contention over the last 17 years has influenced an entire generation of young fans.

I know the ghastly uniforms and hideous lime green colors were Loria's brainchild.

There was a spring training doubleheader yesterday afternoon on MLB, and then a regular season opening game in the evening on ESPN. I don't think I have ever seen that before.

It was just a one time deal to honor the Marlins new ballpark. You likely won't be seeing it again.
