No Gardy. And Brandon McCarthy makes his Yankee debut tonight as we anxiously await from a medical update for Tanaka.

Never mind the weight:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Just saw on LoHud Tanaka was put on the DL - Yanks are calling "elbow inflammation." This blows monkey nuts, I just hope it's not way more serious than inflammation.

Cliff Lee is pitching tonight against the Tampa Yankees. Hope Aaron Judge takes him deep.

3 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 6:15 pm

Tanaka's pitching motion is unorthodox. Sooner or later he was going to have problems.

4 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 6:21 pm

Oh fer crying out loud. With Tanaka down we can't play like Keystone Kops.

Vidal Nuno tweets: miss me yet?

6 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 6:30 pm

This game sucked before it started and now more so. sigh....

7 RIYank   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:01 pm

Just tuned in. McCarthy sucks, huh?

8 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:02 pm

Now THAT was some throw by Ryan!

9 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:06 pm

Mark!

10 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:07 pm

[7] better in 3rd inning than 1st and 2nd. Maybe Indians know him from his White Sox and A's days.

11 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:12 pm

For Yanks tonight, it's the Brendan, Zelous and Zoilo Show. Tough to score runs with 3 of the 8 position players being backups.

12 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:17 pm

Now THAT was some throw by Ryan (Roberts too).

13 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:30 pm

A TEX message!

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:30 pm

Huzzah! A no doubter.

15 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:30 pm

Tied again, this time doing it right: with a man on!

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:30 pm

TESH SMASH!

17 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:31 pm

Not tied, autocorrect, Teix

18 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 7:51 pm

Don't mention that surgery with Tanaka!

19 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:06 pm

McCarthy motion reminds me of "Black Jack" McDowell.

20 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:07 pm

Not too bad for # 5 starter.

21 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:16 pm

[20] As of now, he may be the #2 starter

22 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:31 pm

Time for Zoilo to blast one...

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:35 pm

I smell a Golden Sombrero coming ...

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:37 pm

And there it is.

Yikes.

25 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:38 pm

Gotta hope for free baseball

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:48 pm

He may look like Hayes but he fields like shit! : )

27 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:52 pm

Brendan Ryan is fucking horrible at Major League Baseball and should not be playing. WTF is Cashman doing with this roster?

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:53 pm

We could always have retained the services of one Eduardo Nune5 ...

29 rbj   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:56 pm

Gotta get up early, night all.

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:59 pm

Cone talking shit on Pendleton. ha.

31 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 8:59 pm

[27] Have you been watching the whole game? Ryan's made at least 4 great plays, and he was acknowledged by Cone. The guy is a defensive shortstop, we know he can't hit!

32 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:03 pm

[31] Guilty! Just checked in on the MLB phone app..didn't realize he was great on D tonight..

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:06 pm

#RISP_Futility

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:08 pm

Yay, replay!

35 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:13 pm

[32] no problem, OK. I console myself by remembering that lots of hitters draw the golden sombrero once in a while.

36 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:15 pm

Fail.

37 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:29 pm

Huff is effective once in a while, just not tonight

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:32 pm

Christ. Swisher is going to beat them again.

39 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:33 pm

It will be a miracle if they get out of this jam

40 jjmerlock   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:33 pm

That is fucking special. You know, I once did this in slow pitch softball, which is obviously more pathetic, but my team was up by like twelve runs and I wasn't getting paid a cent to be this kind of fucking embarrassment. Come in with one out and walk three straight batters to load the bases? Go fucking jump in a lake. I hate this team.

41 jjmerlock   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:34 pm

And yes, Swisher, we know you're good in the regular season. You're still a choker when it actually matters.

42 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:37 pm

[41] great call

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:39 pm

Well how about that? The Indians pulled a Yankee.

44 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 9:39 pm

Miracles do happen...

45 jjmerlock   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:04 pm

That was totally a ball, correct?

46 jjmerlock   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:10 pm

That was a good-looking swing.

47 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:10 pm

Not feeling good about the outcome of this game

48 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:21 pm

Nice job, Chase

49 coleman42   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:28 pm

Past my bedtime, good night JJ et al...

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:43 pm

Sweet. Snozzberry comes through.

51 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:49 pm

Jacoby!!

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:58 pm

Wtf! Catch the fucking ball, Johnson!

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 10:58 pm

Well phew. Crazy win.

54 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 9, 2014 11:02 pm

[53] Long one..I came in at the 7th and feels like a whole game. Indians Radio Crew not the most pleasant listen either..

55 jjmerlock   ~  Jul 9, 2014 11:02 pm

Yes. Yikes, he almost played that into a double.

[43] They pulled a complete reverse-Yankee! 0-2, two outs, bases empty, extras, hey, let's groove one! Feels like that is a classic current Yankees move.

Nice one.

56 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 9, 2014 11:08 pm

Yup. And this would have been a quick ass pre 10 o'clock ending if there was a a lead. We'll take it.

57 jjmerlock   ~  Jul 9, 2014 11:16 pm

That "Yes!" should have been a separate thought.

58 RIYank   ~  Jul 10, 2014 4:53 am

Wow, I apologize to our new #2 starter. He did not suck. Even his introductory suckiness wasn't entirely his fault.

Hats off to the bullpen, too.
