There's always a buzz in New York City behind the Subway Series in some way, shape or form. Beginning tonight and through Sunday the Empire State Building will light its world-famous tower lights in honor of the Yankees and Mets.

CC Sabathia took over the game, and the town, Friday night, while Jerry Hairston Jr. made his first postseason game a memorable one to end Saturday's marathon. And with Sabathia named the Yankees' official starter for Game 4, the team will be in position for a shocking sweep if Andy Pettitte outduels Jered Weaver this afternoon.

If what Sabathia didn't pitch one of the best postseason games in history, it's pretty close, writes Steven Goldman.
