Game Thread: New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles 9/14

And just like that it is game time in the Bronx between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles as these two teams begin a huge four-game set inside of Yankee Stadium. This series has all the makings of being epic on both sides as the Baltimore Orioles fight for their playoff lives while the Yankees look to fend off essentially half of the American League or more in the American League Wild Card chase. New York is also within striking distance of the Boston Red Sox in the American League East Division so I won’t be the one to count them out of that race either, not until someone who is a lot better at math than I am tells me that I have to. In the contest tonight the Yankees will send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound to face off with Wade Miley for the Orioles. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium and can be seen on the YES Network, MASN, MLB Network and MLB TV. You can also follow along in your cars and on the radio by tuning into the WFAN broadcast with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.

Enjoy the series, enjoy the weekend and enjoy watching Orioles manager Buck Showalter simmer over being fired after the 1995 season by George Steinbrenner while all the time forgetting that it was 22-years ago and that it is time to move on. Need a win, get a win and piss of Showalter all at the same time. Go Yankees!

Prediction: Yankees win 7-5
