It’s Ivan Nova vs. a tough customer in Brandon Morrow. I always get bad vibes when the Yanks play in Toronto and with so much riding on this series that hasn’t changed. Sure as hell hope I’m wrong.

Another day, another important game. The Orioles are off. Yanks win, they go up by two games; lose, it’s down to one with six left.

There are nine games left in the season and nothing is resolved. The Yanks could win the AL East or they could miss the playoffs entirely.
It’s one-day-at-a-time and today gives Phil Hughes.

Another good pitching match-up at the Stadium on a sunny but crisp day in New York. Our man Hiroki’s on the hill.

Peace to Chad Jennings for pointing out this bit of comic relief from our old pal Francisco Cervelli.
It’s Hughes and another must-win tonight for the Yanks. A win means a full game lead on the Orioles, a loss keeps them tied.

The Yankee offense was nowhere to be found again tonight. They stole seven bases yet scored two lousy runs. Fortunately, the Jays only scored one as the Yanks took the second game of today’s double header. Ichiro followed up his three hits this afternoon with four more tonight, including the biggest hit of the game, a single that was slapped to left field with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Oh, yeah, he also swiped four bases in his finest day in pinstripes.
For most of the game, his performance, and an admirable job by David Phelps–as well as scoreless work from the Yankee bullpen (Logan, Eppley, Soriano)–was overshadowed by the Yankees’ inability to score runs. Alex Rodriguez had an awful night and was booed with vigor after his third strike out. His teammates didn’t receive the same rude treatment but they weren’t much better.
But none of that will be remembered. David Phelps was a star tonight–he retired 12 straight at one point–but Ichiro was the hero.
And we go to bed Heppy Kets, pulling hard for King Felix.
Final Score: Yanks 2, Jays 1.

One is never enough, especially now. But the Yanks are going to need a delivery from the Score Truck tonightski.
Pile it high and deep, boys.

It’s return of Andy Pettitte this afternoon. Tonight gives Dave Phelps.
Yanks are going to need to score runs and plenty of them. Let’s make this long day of baseball a good one, fellas.

Tonight gives the return of Andy Pettitte. It also brings a rain storm that’s supposed to be something fierce. They might not get this game in which would mean a double header tomorrow I suppose.
If they play tonight, we’ll be root-root-rootin’ for the home team.
Never mind twister: Let’s Go Yank-ees!
UPDATE: It’s been cancelled. They’ll play two tomorrow. First game at 1:05.

It’s C.C. vs. David Price, fat vs. skinny, tonight in the Boogie Down. C.C., how we need ya, papi.
The Rays just got swept in Baltimore. Will they score runs this weekend now that they’re playing our boys? The Yanks are up against tough-ass pitching, can they rediscover the Score Truck?
So many questions.

Fuck Everyone: Let’s Go Yank-ees!
We’ve talked a lot about the Yankees reaching rock bottom lately. Worst case scenario, they miss the playoffs. Worser case: the Red Sox knock them out. Boston has nothing to play for other than to inflict pain on the Yankees.
Three game series starts tonight in Boston and their ace, Jon Lester, is on the hill. The Yanks counter with Hiroki Kuroda who is due for a good start.

Never mind the paranoia: Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Concerns and complaints from the Yankees after the game last night. Chad Jennings has the notes.
In the meantime, the Bombers turn to an unlikely source to stop stop the bleeding: Freddy Garcia.
He’ll need plenty of support, from his fielders, the bullpen, and especially the offense.

We’re expecting big things from C.C. Sabathia tonight. Not three runs over six or seven innings, more like one or two runs over eight.
No way around it. He’s their stud and he needs to perform accordingly.
Teix is back. The rain should clear up this evening so even if there is a delay, let’s hope they get ‘er in.
