Mariano Rivera is only one save away from the 500th of his career. Wouldn't it be sweet if he could accomplish this feat in front of his beloved fans at the new Yankee Stadium?
However, wouldn't it also be sweet if he was able to do it tomorrow night at Citi Field against the hated crosstown rival Mets in their backyard. The game will be the Sunday night ESPN game of the week. If the Yankees are going for a sweep of the Mets on their turf the drama would be electric. To cap off a perfect weekend right after the game the Sunday Conversation on ESPN will feature Mariano Rivera. This feature is not live but it would be, as kids put it today, S-W-E-E-T.
From a Mets fan point of view, wouldn't it be great to deny Mo his 500th in our backyard. The Yankee bats are starting to erupt and lets face it the Mets looked pitiful last night in all phases of the game.
Whatever way it plays out it does put an added perspective on the last game of interleague play and this intense rivalry.

I don't really get into the whole Yankees/Mets rivalry, but it would be nice if it came on a game I could get on TV, so that part of me wouldn't mind it happening.
