Game Thread: New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays 5/25

Tonight the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays will play in the middle game of their three game set inside Yankee Stadium with all eyes on the pitching matchup. In tonight’s pitching matchup the Yankees will send the solid Ivan Nova to the mound to face off with an old Yankees nemesis Marco Estrada. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB Network and MLB TV.

The Yankees have an afternoon game tomorrow in the Bronx so click the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog, snag a pair of tickets from Ticket Monster, play hooky and go root on our boys and CC Sabathia in the finale in the Bronx. If you can’t, adulting sucks I know, then at least head over to twitter and give @GreedyStripes a follow. We follow along and try to live tweet each and every game every season and this season is no exception!

Nova’s ready and so is the offense behind him. Are you? Go Yankees!

Game Preview: New York Yankees @ Arizona Diamondbacks 5/17

The New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks will battle it out once again tonight in the desert as these two teams face off head-to-head in the second of their three game set. In the first game last night we watched as Chad Green made his MLB debut against this team and tonight we get to see someone a little more experienced in Michael Pineda. Opposing Little Mike tonight, because let’s face it he’s been far from Big Mike this season, will be the Diamondbacks shiny new (expensive) toy in Zack Greinke inside Chase Field.

Pineda will look to get out of the first inning tonight without a huge deficit like they have in many of Pineda’s starts this season. After the second inning Pineda is holding opposing batters to just a .202 average while the other team is hitting a whopping .437 in the first two innings of the contest.

Greinke has surprisingly not been the pitcher the Diamondbacks gave the biggest contract ever to but he has been coming around a bit as of late. In his last start Greinke allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings pitched against the San Francisco Giants. Along the way Greinke struck out four and walked three for Arizona.

The game will be played at 8:40 PM ET inside of Chase Field and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV. These starts actually work pretty well for me since I don’t get to watch the first inning or so of the game anyway. I won’t nearly see the end of it unfortunately but it allows me to get all my adulting done before chilling with you guys on Twitter. Hopefully I have good things to say when Pineda regains his “Big Mike” form tonight in the desert and keeps the Yankees rolling with a victory.
