A panoramic view of the new Yankee Stadium, site of first round of the 2009 Subway Series this weekend as Yankees host the Mets. Bronx Bombers come home off being swept by Boston, while Mets lost two of three in Philadelphia.

After dropping three more against the Red Sox to fall to 0-8 against Boston this season, the New York Yankees return home to the big ballpark in the Bronx, welcoming yet another well-known adversary into the Stadium for the first time in 2009. Across the East River, the New York Mets prepare to transfer to the No. 4 train at Grand Central after losing two one-run games to the reigning world champions.
Yes, it's Subway Series time once again, and this year; the Yankees (34-26) and Mets (31-27) enter their first battle in second place in their respective divisions behind the Red Sox and Phillies. Joba Chamberlain gets the call for the Bombers tonight, and will be opposed on the mound by Livan Hernandez in the first of three from the Stadium. The Mets have not named a starter for tomorrow's game after it was announced that John Maine would not make the start against Andy Pettitte. The series closes out on Sunday with A.J. Burnett opposing Johan Santana.
