Ex-Yankees Carlos Mendoza, Harrison Bader looking forward to Subway Series from Mets' side

The Mets and Yankees played three games against each other in spring training, so the novelty of referring to the opposing New York team as “them” has worn off for Carlos Mendoza. Fifteen years as a Yankees minor league instructor/major league coach and now a half-season into his first MLB managing job, Mendoza wasn't about to get too nostalgic as he prepared for his first Subway Series as Mets manager. The Mets have two games ahead against their Bronx neighbors and are more concerned with continuing their recent surge than any of the other hoopla. “They have got a good team,” Mendoza said. “We have got a good team and we are playing well, too.” 3 Carlos Mendoza #64 of the New York Mets runs
