Gardner Is Coming Off The DL
Brett Gardner started a hitting program a few days ago and has been running the bases and taking fly balls in hopes of coming back this season in some sort of role. The Yankees have said that they were willing to bring him back in a defensive replacement and pinch running type of role. Joe Girardi has confirmed that this will happen sometime this season but the Yankees have not made up their mind on just when that will happen.
The Yankees will need to make a 40 man roster move to get Gardner back with the big league club so expect a DFA for Derek Lowe in my opinion. Either way Gardner is coming back and I cannot say I agree with the decision.

Who had a late September matchup between the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees as a potential playoff preview and/or spoiler alert situation? I know I didn't. The A's will travel to Yankees stadium for a weekend series only a game behind the Orioles for the 1st Wild Card and currently the 2nd wild card. On the mound for the Yankees will be CC Sabathia and he will be facing off against Jarrod Parker. The game will be televised on MY9 and MLB Network at 7:05 pm ET.

This Day In Yankees History 9/21/12
In 2008 Babe Ruth's daughter throws out the first pitch, the Yankees beat the Orioles 7-3, and the Yankees bid farewell to the 85 year old Yankees Stadium in front of more then 56,000 fans.
MLB Nears Deal With Fox & TBS
MLB has announced that they are nearing a mega deal with both FOX and TBS for eight more years of broadcasting for the chump change total of $800 million. Fox keeps the World Series, as usual, and these two will split the post season so really it is a fancy way of saying nothing much will change for the fans. The teams though will see their part of the revenue pretty much double from $23 million and change to somewhere around $50 million. Now teams ownership like the Pirates, Rays, Royals, Padres, and Athletics can pocket even MORE free money, hooray revenue sharing!

Teixeira Headed To Instructional League For Rehab
Monday the Yankees will send Mark Teixeira to the Instructional Leagues when they start up on Monday down in Tampa. The very informal way the instructs are played will allow Mark to ease back into hitting and allow him to get as many at bats a game as he wants really. The Yankees hope to get him back sometime next week so this is the first step. Get well Mark!
