The Mets and the Yankees had posted a combined 4-16 record in their respective past 10 games through Sunday, and they sport two of the worst winning percentages in baseball for more than two months. Dare we say, then, there suddenly are more good feelings among New York sports fans about the Jets and the Giants — who finished last season with eight wins and 26 losses between them — than there are for the careening local MLB nines?
