NEW YORK -- For the first time ever, the New York Mets and New York Yankees will play each other in August. That wont be the only new wrinkle in the annual Subway Series, which begins Monday with the Mets hosting the Yankees in the opener of a two-game series at Citi Field.For only the second time since interleague play began in 1997, the Mets (54-50) will take the field as the reigning National League champions. There will not be the same buzz this week that surrounded the regular-season games between New Yorks clubs in 2001, the year after the Yankees beat the Mets in five games in the first World Series pitting Big Apple teams against each other since 1956.Still, New York-New York games bring a little something extra, as Mets second baseman Neil Walker is primed to learn over the next four days. The Yankees will host the Mets on Wednesday and Thursday.I think its going to be an exciting week, Walker said after he went 3-for-4 with the go-ahead three-run homer in a 6-4 win over the Colorado Rockies that stopped a four-game losing streak for the Mets, who are 2 1/2 games behind the Miami Marlins in the race for the National Leagues second wild card.First time Ive been involved with a Subway Series. The guys talk about how awesome it is (to) see all of New York come together. A good opportunity for us to hopefully get some wins and get back on the road and keep grinding it out.And for the first time in the interleague era, the Yankees will be in full-fledged rebuilding mode when they take the field Monday. The Yankees continued dismantling a fringe contender Sunday morning, when left-handed reliever Andrew Miller was traded to the Cleveland Indians for four prospects.Later Sunday, the Yankees fell to 52-52 with their fourth straight loss, a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees are seven games behind the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East and 5 1/2 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the race for the second wild card.Miller was dealt six days after the Yankees previous closer, left-hander Aroldis Chapman, was traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for four players.Its obviously tough -- its the part of baseball thats a business, Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez said Sunday. Miller was a very, very popular guy in here, both on the field and in the clubhouse. Just a great asset to us and hell be missed. The Tribes getting a good closer. But I hear we got some good prospects back.Mets right-hander Logan Verrett is scheduled to oppose Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia in the series opener Monday night. Verrett has never faced the Yankees while Sabathia is 4-2 with a 3.22 ERA in seven career starts against the Mets.Adidas Shoes Clearance Nz .
