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!

Introducing TGP Designed T-Shirts and a New Partnership w/ BreakingT

You guys don’t know how long I’ve had this on my mind and you have no idea how long I’ve waited to share this news with everybody reading this. For the longest time I’ve wanted to and for an even longer time I’ve been told that The Greedy Pinstripes needs to design and sell their own T-shirts much like other bloggers and Bald Vinny do. Me being me, the guy scared to take such a risk and a plunge no matter the certainty, I have drug my feet until the group over at BreakingT contacted us about potentially working together to achieve these goals. The partnership was completed recently and we are ready to begin the process of selling TGP designed and BreakingT designed shirts right here on the blog!

The first shirt is seen above, the Jacoby Ellsbury steals home shirt. This is a clever design by BreakingT to commemorate Ellsbury stealing home not once but twice already this season. Also if you check out the link, seen here, you can see they provide merchandise for other teams as well as general MLB merchandise as well. Another good part about this partnership is that BreakingT is licensed by the MLBPA so there are no worries about getting sued or these shirts coming off the presses.

Possibly the best part of it all is that BreakingT has given us, us being the writers here at TGP and YOU who are reading this, the opportunity to design our own shirts as well. You don’t need to be a Photoshop expert either all you have to do is pitch an idea, for example my original idea for a TGP shirt was a “#BringBackTino” shirt, and we can take it from there. Now obviously every idea can’t be used for a plethora of reasons but if it’s a good idea we’ll definitely do everything we can to make it happen. Because you want it!

So celebrate with us. This is a big day for The Greedy Pinstripes and it is a big day for Yankees fans in general. We have another place to buy original and unique Yankees merchandise and we, the fans, have the say in what we wear and what we buy. WE, I keep saying “we” but I truly mean this. This is a WE accomplishment and another big step for the blog. Won’t you support us?

I am in the process of adding a link in the header at the top of the blog but until I get that up and going and nice and pretty like I like things click HERE to visit the BreakingT store to get your Jacoby Ellsbury milk carton shirt or any shirt they have in stock. Thank you in advance for all your support and if you have any suggestions, comments or feedback you can leave it below in the comments section, tweet us @GreedtStripes, get with us on Facebook or shoot us an email at TheGreedyPinstripes at gmail (com).
