The Yanks host the Rays for a four-game series starting tonight in the Bronx.

Mr. Pettitte goes against the slick young lefty Matt Moore.

Meanwhile, the Spurs and Heat play Game 7 of the NBA Finals in Miami. I say the Spurs win by at least 10.

Never mind “the narrative”:

Let’s Go Yank-ees! (And Spurs.)

It started well. The Yanks won 3 of 4 in Seattle. But they’ve lost 5 in a row since and have Jared Weaver to deal with today before they limp home.

At least C.C. is pitching but he hasn’t been a sure thing and he sure won’t be able to help his team score runs.

The Yanks are licking their wounds coming off a three-game sweep in Oakland. They’re in suburban L.A. to play the underachieving Angels this weekend. Glass half-full says at least they are playing an underachieving team; glass half-empty says said underachieving team beats their ass.

Which one of these?

Today gives Hiroki and I’ve got a good feeling that he’s going to pitch a strong game. Will the bats give him some help, that’s the question.

Andy Pettitte is back; so is Nick Swisher, but for the other guys. Lyle Overbay is still a Yankee and he’s playing in right field for the first time in his career (Brennan Boesch was optioned back to Triple A). Rain is in the forecast again…
