The Yanks turn to their ace Michael Pineda to put an end to this three-game losing streak tonight in Kansas City. The Royals are playing well. They scrubs no more.

From lohud:
"Joe Girardi told reporters in Kansas City today that Chase Whitley has a tear in his elbow ligament and surgery is a possibility. "
Getting Capuano back just in time. Seems like these days you need 10 MLB capable starters because half of them are going to go down.
1) Feel bad for Chase. That sucks.
Hey, fuck Chris Young, ok? I know he's had a great start this year but fuck him. Time to mash.
Way to go Brett. That was a triple all the way. Now, bring him home.
[1] sigh
Alex is starting to concern me.
Throws 2 strikes--taken by Alex--next 3 are horseshit trying to get him to chase. He doesn't. Then throws a high curve, it would have been called a strike, and it fools him enough to have his timing off. Pop up to shallow center, Gardner holds.
Lame.
I hate wasted triples.
I tragically missed Pineda's performance Sunday.
I'd like him to repeat it tonight for my benefit.
SHit.
Crap.
I can't believe how that carried. I thought that was an out off the bat.
Get one in KC and get out of town.
Agggh, for fuck's sake!
Sigh, Drew.
They're getting some healthy swings against Pineda.
Guess he put good wood on that.
Fucking Didi…c'mon dude, cut down on that swing, Money.
Thank me!
Wow, 177 out of 198 is an 89% success rate.
What the FUCK with all these popups?
Cycle watch for Moose 2.0
Le sigh.
Off the end of the bat and it still traveled a long way.
Oh right.
I guess we'll take that.
Even Alex can score on that.
I guess we're reduced to accepting that.
Was anyone surprised that they only got one run? Sigh!
Mike not getting ball DOWN like he did last outing. Balls in middle of plate get hit...
Get DOWN tonight!
Phew
Can't expect a top performance after 111 pitches last Sunday. You pay the price on the back end.
[32] Cone once said you've got 10 games with your stuff, ten when you've got to fight through it and ten where you've got nothing. This is a battle game.
High strike there blue
I do not like the KC Royals.
BB King: look up a clip of him playing a show at Sing Sing prison some time in 70s, crazy good.
Sigh.
Way to hang in there, Mike. Way to battle.
OH, JESUS CHRIST!
Did you fucking see that shit?
Why did all the projection systems forecast under .500 for the Royals? Seem like a great team...
That's what Little Leaguers do.
The wheels sure came off this motherfucker in a hurry, huh?
This inning is reminding me of California wiping the floor with us in 2002. One line drive after another after another.
