Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Texas Rangers 4/27

The New York Yankees have two tasks today and the good news for New York is that one tasks pretty much coincides with the other. The first task being achieving a victory against the Texas Rangers tonight inside Globe Life Park in Arlington and the second being not looking ahead to a large series with the Boston Red Sox that is looming this weekend. This has trap game written all over it, especially with the off day tomorrow, so hopefully the Yankees keep their foot on the gas and get another win to put in the win column. Donned with the task of getting the victory is the Yankees 5^th starter CC Sabathia while the Rangers send Martin Perez to the mound to oppose him. The game will be played at 8:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network, ESPN and MLB TV.

The Yankees have an off day tomorrow before heading to Boston to face off with the Red Sox inside of Fenway Park. The Yankees won’t see home for almost another week which gives you plenty of time to click the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog and to get your Yankees tickets in hands when the team returns home to Yankee Stadium. Until then though you can just live tweet the game with us on Twitter by giving @GreedyStripes, it’s almost like being there.

One more game in the heat in Texas and we head back to the north east where Mother Nature is not done playing her usual tricks. One day it’s warm, another day’s it’s freezing. Nothing cures this more than a win though so let’s get one. Go Yankees!
