Hero? NO It Hiroki!

The Yankees will finish their three game weekend series with the Boston Red Sox tonight at Yankees Stadium. This also is game 17 in a 20 games in 20 days stretch that has been grueling on the bullpen and on the players. A much needed day off is in the cards for Thursday but until then we need to finish this strong. On the mound for the Yankees will be Hiroki "My Hiro" Kuroda and will be facing off against Mr. Fried Chicken himself Josh Beckett, blister and blood pressure withstanding.The game will be televised at 8:05 pm ET on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball.
