Game Thread: New York Yankees vs. Seattle Mariners 7/18

If it feels like just a few short hours ago we were wrapping up the last game between the New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners there is probably a good reason for that, it’s because we did. It is the dreaded day game after a night game that Joe Girardi loves to sit his regulars in and the type of scenarios that Joe Girardi loves to use Stephen Drew in as much as he can. Anyway, the Yankees will send Michael Pineda to the mound looking to harness some of his “Big Mike” powers and less of his “Magic Mike” powers while Hisashi Iwakuma opposes him for Seattle. The game will be played at 1:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV.

This week I bought tickets for my son to see the New York Yankees for the first time live and I’m super excited about it. I clicked the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog and now on August 29^th I’ll be in Atlanta watching the Yankees and the Braves face off with my son and I’ll have money in my pocket left over from not having to pay those annoying fees or bulky shipping costs to show my son a good time. You can do the same, just click the link at the top of the blog. Be sure to also give us a follow on Twitter, @GreedyStripes, to interact with us during each and every Yankees game.

Pineda is ready to show us that Big Mike trumps Magic Mike, even if it’s XXL, any day. Go Yankees!
