Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Colorado Rockies 6/15

The New York Yankees and the Colorado Rockies played late into the night last night, well late if you live on the East Coast like I do and a ton of Yankees fans do, and are back at it again this afternoon in beautiful Denver, Colorado to finish off their quick two-game interleague series. The Yankees will send Ivan Nova to the mound looking to continue his contract season with another good start while the Rockies will counter with Chad Bettis who needs to turn things around in the worst way. The game will be played at 3:10 pm ET inside Coors Field and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB Network and of course MLB TV.

The Yankees head to Minnesota after the game to take on the Minnesota Twins who just may have a worse off offense than New York does. I mentioned this earlier but this little stretch of games against teams under .500 may be a gift and a curse as New York may beat up on teams like Colorado and Minnesota giving them and their fans a false hope of security in the playoff and Wild Card chases. Although if the team falls flat on their faces inside Target Field in Minnesota we may see a huge sell off and potential fire sale, but I doubt it.

Either way I’m still going to be sitting over here rooting for every victory I can regardless of the place in the standings or what it could mean to the make-up of the team in the future. Go Yankees!
