Uptown Swing

After two 2-1 loses in Queens, the Yanks and Mets head up to the Bronx for two more games.

It’s Dave Phelps and the hopes that the Yanks can win these next couple of games and not suck balls.

Yeah, We Want Some More

Alex Cobb pitched a great game against the Yankees last month. Today, he goes against C.C. Sabathia who has been solid but far from terrific so far in 2013.

Here’s hoping we see something stellar from C.C. this afternoon as the Yanks go for the sweep.

Yanks face Matt Moore, the Rays’ stud pitcher this afternoon.

Git ’em, boys.

Oh, Lookout Now

The Yanks have had a rough time winning games in Tampa the past few years. Let’s hope that isn’t the case this weekend.

Tonight gives Phelpsie…I’m not sure if that’s his nickname but it seems as ifJoe Girardi’s pet name for most everyone ends in “ie.” Wonder if he calls Travis Hafner Pronkie.

Fresh Direct

Series finale in Baltimore tonight with an off-day tomorrow before the weekend series in Tampa. Be nice to see a Score Truck sighting complete with fresh delivery of hits and runs.

Our man Hiroki’s on the hill and boy he’s been so good I worry that he’s due to get his ass kicked.

Warshed Out

An appealing rainy spring day here in New York. Cool and breezy. Unless, of course, you are  at the Stadium to watch a baseball game. But if you’re home, it’s a fine day to make some food, sit back, relax, and cool out.

Saturday…In the Park

David Phelps vs Brandon Morrow this afternoon at the Stadium.

I’m headed out early and the line-ups aren’t posted yet.

Be back later with the recap.

Enjoy this fine–if overcast–spring day, y’all.

Never mind getting complacent now:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Here Today…

I’m turning into a sap, but I get bummed when guys are designated for assignment or optioned to the minors. Yesterday, Brennan Boesch was sent down; today, Chris Nelson was cut. And Lyle Overbay might not be long for the Bronx either.

Tonight gives Phil “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t” Hughes.

Never mind the crown:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Short Order Cooked

Justin Masterson out-dueled David Phelps as the Indians beat the Yanks in about 2 1/2 hours this afternoon in Cleveland. Masterson went the distance and a Jason Kipnis solo home run in the first was all the scoring. Tidy.

Final Score: Indians 1, Yanks 0. 

Game 2 will start shortly after 3 p.m.

Never mind the disappointment:
