Yanks look to avoid a disastrous West Coast swing with a win today.

Never mind crying over spilt milk:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

The Yanks face one of the best tonight in “King” Felix Hernandez. They’ll counter with the former Mariner, Fab Five Freddy Garcia.

The intrepid Chad Jennings has the notes of the day.

I leave the Internet for a few hours and the Yanks trade for Ichiro. Hey Now.

Sure, he’s not a great player anymore, he’s probably not even that good, but he’s headed for the Hall of Fame and he gives the Yanks a quality outfield now, doesn’t he? Dwayne Wise, who played well as a back-up, has been designated assignment.

Oh, and Ichiro will be in the lineup tonight against the Mariners in Seattle.

Whoa.

No Jetes…

The Yanks are hot, they’ve got the best record in baseball, but…there’s always a but, right? But, no time to get complacent. And there’s always trouble lurking out west. They’ll play four in Oakland starting tonight. Nothing is easy. Keep in rollin’, fellas.

Still summer, still Johnny Blazin’ hot out there. Thunderstorms expected this afternoon on getaway day for the Yanks and Jays. The Bombers head out to the west coast after the game.

The Blue Jays are in town for three. Man, I don’t like those dudes. I’ve been bracing myself to hate them all season. Yanks will play them a lot in the second half so we shall see…

Hughes is on the hill. As per Katie Sharp over at ESPN New York:

Hughes hasn’t allowed a home run in his past three starts. Only twice before in his career has he had a longer homerless streak as a starter: a five-game streak in 2008 and another one in 2010.

That means he’ll give up three tonight, right?

The Yanks have already won the weekend series against the Angels. Today, they go for gravy against Jered Weaver, the Angels’ best pitcher and arguably the best pitcher in the league. Ivan Nova is on the hill for the Bombers on a muggy overcast day in the Bronx.

Yanks and Angels this afternoon at the Stadium. It’s still hot and muggy. Fab Five Freddy’s on the hill and I suspect the ball will be flyin’ over the fences.

Yanks host the dreaded Angels this weekend. It will be fun watching Mr. Trout. The rest of ’em can go to hell.

Two-out-of-three, two-out-of-three, two-out-of-three.

It’s Hiroki vs. the happy-go-lucky C.J. Wilson.

Have at it.

Tonight gives the Home Run Derby.

For those of you who like that sort of thing. Chris Berman hosting so you might want to watch with the sound turned off.

So the Yanks have lost nine straight in Tampa and today David Price will try to make it ten. David Phelps gets the start for the Yanks. I suspect he’ll give them some good innings.

Up to the batters to score some runs.

Two tough loses so far in Florida. Here’s hoping the Yanks “Win one for the Boss”–the ol’ birthday boy.

As Jon mentioned in his recap of last night’s game, the Rays find a way to bust Yankee chops.

Let’s hope that ain’t the case tonight. Ivan Nova’s on the hill.

The Yanks look to end the first half on an up-note this week. They’ve got three in Tampa and then four this weekend in Boston. Won’t be easy.

Fab Five Freddy goes tonight against a struggling Rays team. Be interesting to see what he’s got to offer as a starting pitcher after a poor start to his season and a long time buried in the bullpen.

In the meantime, Corey Wade was optioned today to make room on the roster for Philadelphia whipping boy, Chad Qualls.

How about an appearance from the Yankee Score Truck?
