Welcome to tonight's open thread for the game between the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers. This is the finale of a three game set and boy am I glad. I don't know about you guys but even the hour later start kills me, especially the next morning. Thankfully the Yankees go back East after this game and head to Boston after taking a July 31st trading deadline day off. The Yankees will send Hiroki Kuroda to the mound tonight to face off with Colby Lewis for the Rangers. The game will be played at 8:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB TV, and can be heard on the radio with WFAN.
Remember to get your Yankees tickets while New York is in Boston or for when they return home later in the month of August. Michael Pineda is back and we may even throw in some pine tar for buying, check us out.

TRADE DEADLINE BLATHER:
ReplyDeleteLess than.....24 Hours!! There is so much turbulence out there....so lets get our sails
set correct, shall we ?
Before additions, or while making additions, the must be subtractions.
I've said this before, and had gotten roughed up for it.....this is a special year, the Captain,
and future Hall Of Famer, Jeter ....is calling it a career. The Yankees will try to make this
even more special, by reloading.And, making a run for the gusto.
That is what they do. Watch it play out.." Run Forrest, run ! "
I can almost see the slate wiped almost clean. I did say almost.
I can see Ichiro, Kelly Johnson, Roberts, Cervelli, and even Robertson, moved out in the remaining hours.
Replaced by a bat, a pitcher ( or two ) , and some infusion of youth. A genuine kick ass start.
* Peter O'Brien, C / OF, the man without a position....now has 33 HR. More than our outfield.
I know no more than you. But as constituted, this team can not compete.
I KNOW...for a fact, that Ellijay ... " Far Fetched "....the four beer man, will have a dream tonight.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, except Grant Balour, will be a Yankee at 4 PM / July 31. He will dream this.
The new forty man roster will be......somewhere near 58.
It would not surprise me a bit to see the Yankees do nothing, or something so small it will be considered nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the shakeup we've been calling for all season but I just can't see it happening.
