Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon

Yanks go for an unlikely four-game sweep against the Rangers this afternoon on a beautiful day in the Bronx. Ivan Nova–will he deliver a solid performance or will the Rangers beat him about the face and neck?

nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

 

The Yanks have won the first two games against the Rangers but their work is not done–they lose the next two and the series will feel like a missed opportunity. Fab Five Freddy “Chuck n Duck” Garcia is on the hill.

Rain is in the forecast.

Move Along

The Yanks look to take the weekend series against the Mariners this afternoon in the Bronx.

It’s overcast and supposed to rain. Still hot and sticky.

Course there’s no shame losing to Felix Hernandez, especially not when he’s dealing like he was yesterday. But that’s over and done with and the Yanks are in the business of beating inferior teams, even ones that are playing well.

They turn to Fab Five Freddy and hope to score a truck load of runs themselves.

So, never mind the forecast: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Up Around the Bend

This never happens–I don’t recall the last time it did–but I played hooky on the Banter today. Wasn’t be design, I just had to be up and out of the house mad early and just returned now. I thought about it a few times while I was tooling around Manhattan cause it’s not like me to leave the Banter unattended. But I tried to give myself a break and not feeling guilty. Summer Friday is all, right?

Anyhow, all is well, although hotter n hot here in the Bronx as the Yanks face the Mariners at the Stadium.

Yanks need C.C. to get on a roll here.

Teams May Be Closer Than You Think

You won’t have Chad Qualls to kick around anymore. Yanks get a back-up third baseman. Looks like Joba will be activated tonight as well.

Get it in Gear

The Yanks have lost seven of their past ten games but they’ve been losing by this much. Interesting test for them this week as they host the Orioles (and then the Mariners over the weekend). It’s Freddy-Nova-Hughes against Baltimore.

Man, be nice to get a Score Truck sighting, huh?

Also hoping that Ichiro has a breakout game, too.
