Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Minnesota Twins 6/17

Here we are again as we conclude another long week with another weekend that’s far too short and jammed packed with Major League Baseball. The New York Yankees kick off their weekend’s worth of games with the second of a four-game set with the Minnesota Twins on the road. Tonight the Yankees send their ace and stopper to the mound with an extra day of rest in Masahiro Tanaka as he looks to mow down and keep down the Twins offense. Opposing Tanaka for the home team tonight will be the LHP Pat Dean for the Twins. The game will be played at 8:10 pm ET inside Target Field and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11 and MLB TV.

The Yankees won’t be out on the road forever so click the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog and reserve your seats now for when the team does come back to Yankee Stadium before the good seats are all gone. You can now also show up to the Cathedral in the Bronx in style by snagging one of our Jacoby Ellsbury milk carton shirts by clicking the TGP T-Shirts link at the top of the blog as well. Until then though you can join us rooting from afar by giving us a follow on Twitter, @GreedyStripes, and by liking us on Facebook.

Tanaka is ready and so is the Yankees offense so let’s get to it. Go Yankees!
