RHP - Ivan Nova (4-4, 3.52 ERA)

VS.

LHP - David Price (11-4, 2.35 ERA)

NOTE: Nova has not pitched past the 6th inning in his last 3 starts.
 
Nova has to be on his game and go at least 7 innings
for the Yankees to have a chance to win the game tonight.
 
The Yanx have to take at least 2 of 3 from Toronto.....

(talk about a Team hitting on all cylinders at the right time), exactly what the Jays have and are doing......but they can be had......!!

From a mental standpoint winning this series is necessary. They're 2-7 against Toronto this season.
 
Thirty years ago today and yesterday I went to games at old Yankee Stadium numbers 2 and 3 of 4 with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees had won game one to put them within two, but lost 2-4 putting them five games back. During that series Baylor couldn't hit a lick and Big Dave Winfield stranded something like 11 batters. Sure hope this series up in Toronto goes better. That '85 Yankee Team could Bop, old fans will remember the shirts Henderson, Winfield, Mattingly ect, ect, who needs pitching ah well the Yankees lost because of that lack. Bit of a similarity with this team a "jive five" of pitching.
 
Bump has stranded 3 base runners in two at bats this evening. Good job bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Tex is lost right now. Watching pitches right down the middle.
 
Maybe Bump needed more time off. His "bump in the
road" could be in his head by now.
 
Same old same old against this Toronto team. Nova is complete garbage tonight.
 
...the Yanx are the Blue Jays' bitch this year, that's all there is to it.
 
...I wish Ryan's Mom would spank his bottom and tell him how silly his stache looks.
 
That's now 31 straight innings without a run against the Blue Jays. It's a complete friggin joke at this point.

Jays, 4 Hits with 3 runs......WTF......

Perhaps we will see another surprise of a come back, (I know I'm wishing a bit deep)......but hell, will this Team please Surprise me or us all........??
 
You can now make that 33 straight innings without a run against Toronto.
 
I'm hoping for a comeback, but.......................who's going
to do it vs these Blue Jays?

Indeed, the Yanx of the 80s were a Fun Offensive Team to watch, with little Pitching to match their offense.

In today's wild card crazy MLB world, its hard to imagine, the 85 Yanx with 97 Wins, sit out and watch the Royals win the ALCS.....

In 85 the Yanx had a .606 Win Pctg., compared to the AL East Pennant Winners, the Jays with a 99 win season, a .615 Win Pctg, and the Royals (were the 3rd best AL team & WS Champs) with 91 Wins, and a .562 Win Pctg......
I recall reading a SI article around 87, (I believe it was); whereas the writer noted approximately 80% of Yanx games Won, were a direct result of the Teams Offense, not the Pitching........

Tho' I have no idea then or now, what Metrics SI used to determine how an Offense can provide any pctg. of Wins without quality SP's.......

at this point, it almost looks like the Jays hold the key to their own PS destiny, or AL pennant, and beyond....

In other words, I think only the Jays can beat themselves, ....
 
Well, Nova did his job with 1 faulty inning.......a 3 run third.
Yankees could not get key hits with runners on.

Yep. Jays need to make some mistakes. Right now, does
not look good.
 
Well christ if they can't scratch out even one run here in the 8th it's a complete lost cause.
 
Way to go Headley. The schnide is broken............. now
let's score more.......
 
YES! Now let's bring this baby home......and win this game.
 
Yankees with 12 God Damn hits, 4 runs aren't much to show, 6 outs to go but I'm not confident of the pen especially if Miller comes in.

Take it easy. Don't project........not now. Just hope the pen
can cool these guys.
