How do you follow-up a no-hitter?
The Yanks and Twins begin their series in the shadow of Roy Halladay’s great feat. So be it.
We’ll be rooting! (Enjoy the comments section and be mindful of our house rules–feel free to curse, just don’t curse at each other.)
This is what we’ve been waiting for. Never mind the fancy introductions…
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!

Or anything more, for that matter?
The Yanks and Rays have battled for first place all season long so it is entirely fitting that the Division Crown comes down to the final day of the regular season. If both teams win (or lose), the Rays take it.
Time to put a halt to the forgettable baseball that has been played around these parts for the past month. Starting this week, either at home against the Rangers or on the road against the Twins, the Yanks will defend their title. Either way, we’ll be root-root-rooting our hearts out.
Starting…now:
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!

First of two is on Fox.
Go git ’em boys.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees.
Yanks-Sox and the last weekend on the regular season. There is something at stake here, of course, the best record in the American League. Looks like the Sox have something to play for after all.

That’s how CC does it, over and over again.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees.
Such was the poignant wisdom of my old college chum, Lomain. That was his line, right out of “The Pope of Greenwich Village,” ‘cept out of Bayside, Queens. This is Beef Lomain I’m talking about, the eldest Lomain. His brother Mikey was Chicken Lomain and his little brother Matty was Shrimp Lomain.
I’d like to see A.J. take a piece for himself tonight, wouldn’t you?
Why mince words? Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
On second thought, Phil Hughes will start tonight, after all. Like to see it. And it’s not Buchholz but Dice K for the Sox.
Hughes game. Gimme some Score Truck.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
The Yanks are stumbling toward a playoff berth. Last night, the offense showed some fight, which has me feeling good. However, the formidable J. Lester goes for the Sox later this afternoon on Fox (doom, doom!) and Dustin Moseley will start for the Yanks tomorrow night so a Red Sox sweep is not hard to imagine.
Still, I’ll be keeping the faith like De La, and root-root-rooting for the home team.
Fug whatchu hoid: Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
The Dummy leads, the dummy leads…
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
Yanks lookin’ to get greedy. AJ Burnett lookin’ to show and prove:
Go git ’em, fellas.
Big Game James. I’m not buyin’ it, man. There’s only one Big Game James to my way of thinking and he didn’t play baseball.
Hughesie needs a good outing and a win.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!

All season long it’s been Yanks-Rays, Rays-Yanks. Now, the two teams play four games in the Bronx. First place is at stake.
This is what it is all about. And that’s word to Joe Torre.
Never mind the preamble:
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!

Serve ’em up fresh, CC.

Jankees, Boids. Let’s do this…the Yankee Way.
Let’s Go Score Truck!
Step up (to get your rep up).
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
The Yanks have lost four straight, seven of their last eight. They’ve been back-and-forth with the Rays for first place all season, a steady give-and-take, a dance. Now, the Rays are up by a half-game. But unless something horrible happens (the Red Sox trail the Yanks by seven games for the wildcard), they are both making the playoffs.
Tonight gives Matt Garza against the kid Nova, in his biggest test yet. Should be fun. I see the Bombers scoring some runs–don’t know if they’ll haul in the Score Truck, but more than enough to win.
Time to get back to the business of being in business.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
CC Sabathia meets David Price tonight. First place is on the line. Man, this should be good.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees!

Dude, I couldn’t stay awake last night, missed the end of the game. When I woke up and saw the box score, I was like this:
Now, since I didn’t actually stay up late for the second night in a row to see Mariano lose that Texas Horror Show, I’m trying to remain hopeful. Yeah, even though Cliff Lee pitches today for the Rangers. This is Lee’s first game back from the DL and he hasn’t been his usual dominant self since joining Texas. I could see him shutting the Yanks out for seven innings but I could also see the Yanks touching him up some too. Maybe Derek Jeter has a great game.
It’s all up to that Mystery Man Moseley:
C’mon, son, make like Aaron Small and shut-shut ’em down.
Never mind the hankies, Let’s Go Yan-Kees!
