L. Cessa (4-0, 4.11)

vs.

I. Kennedy (9-9, 3.57)

Lineups to follow...
 
Give the Royals a the pitching advantage but rooting for Cessa and the Baby Bombers, Hope to see the Court in Session again today.
 
Gardner -LF
Ellsbury -CF
Sanchez -C
Teixeira -1B
Gregorious -SS
Castro -2B
McCann -DH
Headley -3B
Hicks -RF
 
Big game.
Obviously should be concerned with what kind of outing Cessa will give us, he's pitched okay last couple of starts but can he do it over three straight starts?
 
Another stunning play by Chase (Vacuum Cleaner) Headley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Really Headley with a play like that? Looked like amateur hour.
 
3-1 pitch and Gardner is trying to hit it out of the park instead of hard somewhere.

They can Headley and Gardner and give them away this off-season. I know that they each had value, and somebody would take a shot but they have been epic failures for 2 years now.

Yup, they have to send Garner somewhere for sure. Can't have him and Ellsbury out there again next season. Headley puts up platoon type numbers at third while playing pretty much full time. It's just unacceptable.
 
Nice comeback to get to 4-4. Now they have to figure out a way to win this one.
 
Credit to Cessa, not dominant but still kept his team in the game. Big improvement in Yankee Games is that the offense now comes back, give a pitcher confidence. All those young guys improve the running game. Now lets hope the pen can keep a lid on KC and the offense can score a couple more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The home plate umpire is god awful tonight. Should've been 3-1 to Ellsbury there.
 
Tex up 3-0 then strikes out go figure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It's Clay Parker time. Whooptey dam doo!
Straight 92-93 fastball with a half-ass breaking ball.

Why the heck do the Yanks think this guy can be an asset to the bullpen?

Unearned run charged to Cessa and a gigantic extra run on the scoreboard for KC.
Headley couldn't just boot the grounder, he had to let it roll under his glove down the LF line for a two base error...which scored on the next batter's single.
 
I guess this is going to be another long night. I'm fucking tired from last night and here we go again. These Idiots need to score some runs and put this away. Thank God for the off day tomorrow.
 
Speedy Burns pinch running- SB candidate, just as I speak he steals 2B, and now a basehit can win it.
Shit
 
Parker throws garbage.....he must hope the batters just hit his fastball at a fielder or they chase an off speed pitch way out of the zone. He doesn't have an "out pitch".
 
Terrible AB by Judge. I have no idea what he's looking for up there and he has to be more aggressive. He took two pitches down the middle to go down looking. The pitcher was daring him to hit it there.

Just terrible not to come away with the go ahead run there.
 
Tex you dumb fuck, second AB in a row with a 3-0 count and you failed. A walk would have put the team ahead, but team player that you are you end up making the final out of the inning. You stupid thoughtless fuck!
 
I can't wait until he's out of here. You need one damn run there. When it's 3-0 with the bases juiced there you have the advantage the rest of the AB. What does he do? Swings at a borderline pitch on 3-1 and hits a weak ground ball.

Sterling was practically begging the Yanks to sac bunt with Judge up with a runner on 2nd no outs, 12th inn.
He was beside himself when they didn't.
Judge struckout.
Moments later Sweeny Murti said Judge has never SAC bunted in his minor league career.
And wouldn't you know it, Gardner followed with a hard single and Headley pulled up at 3rd base.
And this is just inexcusable.
Almost embarrassing for the organization- imo.
 
And Judge Ks again, this time with an insurance run on 3rd base and ONE out in the 13th.

That would've been a HUGE insurance run, which didn't score.

It's a good thing the Yanks are giving Judge alot of playing time this season earlier than expected because by this time next year if he's doing the same thing.....well, never mind, he's still young, and will also be young next season.
 
Two innings 5 runners stranded 1 run in, not good kids. Best hope the pitcher can finish unscathed.
