Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays 8/16

Here we go boys and girls, the time has come for the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays to finish off their three game weekend set head-to-head at the Rogers Centre. This has been one hell of a series with one hell of an atmosphere, I only hope the Yankees faithful can do the same in the Bronx when the team returns home to Yankee Stadium next week. This afternoon the Yankees get a glimpse into the future once again when they send Luis Severino to the mound to face off against the Blue Jays right-hander Drew Hutchison. The game will be played at 1:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV.

The Yankees return home tomorrow to play host to the Minnesota Twins so you have just a few hours left to click the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog and get your Yankees tickets in hand. HOPE Week is coming at the stadium and so is Andy Pettitte Day so be sure to click the link while there are still tickets available. Enough about tomorrow, let's worry about today. Head over to Twitter and give @GreedyStripes a follow to root for the home team as the Yankees look to beat the Jays this afternoon before heading home to the Bronx.

Severino vs. Hutchison is a matchup we as the fans could be watching for a long, long time between these two clubs. The first chapter is written today, Go Severino and Go Yankees!
