Pineda has to wake up this evening the Yankees need a win. And of course as the White Sox Series approaches we find that team to be playing much better baseball.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Pineda needs to spend a years time with a Chiropractor, to straighten out his head, so his hat fits the way it should....

 

[Messiah717]

A win would make 3 of 4 in Texas and a 5-2 road trip heading into Chicago. Would be pretty damn good.

 

[totus44]

CC starting tonight on normal rest due to spot starter on Tuesday.

 

[cagedlion]

CC vs Texas = ?????????????? The offense needs
to roll vs Gallardo. Could be a high scoring game.

Texas gets Cole Hamels for a shitload of minor
leaguers.

Tonight's lineup posted in the OP

 

[blgridesagain]

Pineda on DL, stiffness in his forearm.
I'll go out on a branch and say the Yanks still win tonight.

Getting interesting now, some of he competition has beefed up with trades while the Yanks appear to be prepared to make adjustments from within.

Mitchell and maybe Severino could be factors down the road.
I don't mind having the Yanks going with the "org".

 

[Rick2583]

Okay the Yankees have given CC a three run cushion, hopefully the fat turd doesn't give it right back.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Yanx sure do seem to score a lot of 1st inning runs lately.

...don't screw this up, CC.

 

[cagedlion]

He still is trying really hard out there. OMG. No more
excuses for a declining pro athlete.

 

[Pastafazul]

wow, just wow little league schit!

 

[Pastafazul]

i called that

 

[mrmel29]

cc u fat shit u couldn't even protect a 3 run lead for an inning. u suck

 

[yankeesince59]

...atta boy, CC.

 

[Rick2583]

Un-f'king-believable, you just can't make this shit up.

 

[mrmel29]

he's trying hard though. get the man another cheeseburger. he has no pride to continue pitching like this and killing the team

 

[cagedlion]

...Yanx sure do seem to score a lot of 1st inning runs lately.

...don't screw this up, CC.

GUESS WHAT?............ HE f'kin' DID! ........He's got to go.
I'm done with this pisher pitcher.

A f'kin' hanger to lefty hitter Hamilton. A f'kin' joke.

 

[yankeesince59]

...lmao @ CC...4-3 Rangers.

 

[Rick2583]

$25M per..................................for what?

 

[cagedlion]

He's a HR pinata. Another gopher to a lefty hitter.

 

[cagedlion]

$25M per..................................for what?

Trashman can sure pay for a losing pisher.

 

[Rick2583]

Okay SHIT-bathia you've got the lead again thanks to McCann, try keeping it this time.

 

[blgridesagain]

It has to first get more ugly and the Yanks are probably going to take a couple of big hits but, if we want CC out of the rotation, we must endure (and hope) he gets hammered very early and often in his next couple of starts and the Yanks will (I really believe) HAVE TO pull him from the rotation especially with the current state of the rotation...I.e. Pineda on DL, Tanaka needing to pick it up a bit, Nova still getting his legs and stamina together......
We actually - IMO - have to root for him to be worse than he is...no longer pitching badly such as 5.1 IP and 4 or 5 runs....it needs to get absolutely embarrassing and killing the team before the 4th-5th inning and then the real "Plan" will kick in- not Cashman's or any one else's plan- I'm relying on the inescapable natural order of things.
Lol.....maybe to the point where Hal Steinbrenner gets annoyed, clears his throat, calls Cashman and brings up CC's name.

 

[Messiah717]

Rare absolutely hideous play by Ellsbury.

 

[mrmel29]

Rare absolutely hideous play by Ellsbury.

Inside the park homer ruling is a joke. Thats a single and 3 base error. An embarrassing play by ells bury and an embarrassing ruling by the official scorer.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I think that's the first bad defensive play I've seen him make since coming to the Yanx.

 

[cagedlion]

Yes, they are all human. When they want to play ugly baseball,
they know how to do it very well.

As the saying goes- "sh!t happens".

 

[cagedlion]

2 on, nobody out = zero runs. Two line drives = zilch

Gallardo lives dangerously and very lucky. CC also lives dangerously
with no luck. That's my jaundiced perspective.

I thought this would be a high scoring game. Final 10- 9.
Have no idea who wins. But I have a pretty good idea who loses!!!!!!!!!!! LOL*


* Oh, Ye of little faith..............when CC is pitching.
