It’s Ivan Nova vs. a tough customer in Brandon Morrow. I always get bad vibes when the Yanks play in Toronto and with so much riding on this series that hasn’t changed. Sure as hell hope I’m wrong.

Another day, another important game. The Orioles are off. Yanks win, they go up by two games; lose, it’s down to one with six left.
Never mind the fretting: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

AB, you generally have a 6th sense about these kind of things, but like you, I hope you're wrong.
1) Very, very wrong. Let's hope I'm proved to not know dick about shit.
O.K., this time: Hey, Michael Kay is in Canada.
[3] Ha. You beat me to it. His ban has been lifted. Rats!
[4] Maybe he won't be allowed back?
I assume a very short leash on Nova tonight?
Good morning!
Hmm..slightly dinosaurish discussion going here from Kay and Flaherty..I'm no Sabremetrician but really Kay, calling them "seamheads"?
gift double. I'll take it.
Wow, dead Banter, dead crowd, boring game..time to head to work, maybe things will be exciting at ACME,Inc.
The skydome looks like one depressing joint tonight. And yes, I know it's not the skydome any longer.
Fucking Lawrie. Fucking Nova. Dammit!
Not liking this "New Morning" matchup. Down by two, can the Yankees hit anything off Morrow?
Man, Alex is lost at the plate.
LAA and Oakland both lost. TB can piick up some ground.
Nice catch. Double play. grrrrrrrrrrr......
Oh jeez. . . One of those nights.
Crickets...
Nova doing ok. Yanks will get to Morrow.
Ooops, Nova, not so good.
[17] They better do it tonight, and not wait until tomorrow.
Crap.
What is this crap? No more laying down against these Celine Dion - John Candy - Canadian Bacon eatin'-Skydome playin'-LaBatt's drinkin' Blue Jays. Get that Score Truck motored up!
(I kid, Canada is a fine country that I like very much. No offense, monkeypants!)
Finally something good.Now go get some runs.
We simply CAN't move runners over.
I'm looking at you Grandy.
Sigh.
Doesn't matter how well or poorly Nova pitched if the Yankees can't score any runs. Morrow muy bueno esta noche.
Cy Morrow, cry tomorrow.
Too much RISP fail all year long.
What a fucking pile of shit this game is. And so damn predictable. Fuck.
Of course.
No fire for these Yankees in the cold cold north. If it wasn't so important, one could watch this game as insomnia relief.
Tall order
Just over a month ago, Cano was headed for .330 and he's been in a funk since with a few highlights. What will he be in October?
Can it be possible that Martin ends up with a higher average than Granderson for the year?
Blegh.
Grandy now sits with a .227 BA and an OPS UNDER .800.
Is someone from management gonna have a talk with him?
Those numbers, along with his approach, are unacceptable.
The Yanks are 9-9 against the Orioles this year. What happens if they end the season tied for first? Do they play a one-game playoffs?
