Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Chicago White Sox 8/1

The New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox are playing what once used to be rare for New York but what may becoming the norm, a game played in prime time on a Saturday night. Tonight the Yankees and White Sox will face off head-to-head inside US Cellular Field with Bryan Mitchell on the mound facing off against John Danks for Chicago. The game will be played at 7:10 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV.

The Yankees have one more game out on the road after tonight before coming home to put the final nail in the Boston Red Sox season so be sure to click that Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog NOW to get your tickets in hand. Until then jump on Twitter and give @GreedyStripes a follow to root for the home team while they are in Chicago and during each and every Yankees game.

Mitchell is ready to make his starting debut for the Yankees and I’m excited to watch it, I am a self-professed prospect humper after all. I predicted that Mitchell would be this season’s Shane Greene who was thrust into the rotation after an injury and that prediction begins to look correct tonight, we hope. Go Mitchell and Go Yankees!
