New York in is in bloom at long last. Yesterday and today are the first ridiculously nice days of the year: warm, sunny, lots of energy, lots of color. I strolled through Central Park last night after work and saw a few ball games.
Tonight, Masahiro looks to give the Yankees their first series win of the year.

Never mind the pollen:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Yeah, was able to go sans coat while doing errands today. But next week it looks like it's lawn mowing time.
Hurry up and get the Sox - O's game over. I don't get the other channels.
What the hell is Fox Sports GO?
[3] looks like it's a streaming app http://www.foxsports.com/foxsportsgo/
I bet the game gets tied up in the bottom of the ninth.
It's now on YES. No score top 2.
Not getting the YES feed here in Toledo. Usually I do for the games.
It's weird. Don't recognize commentators voices. They're worried about Tanaka elbow...
My Verizon Fios doesn't subscribe to GO. Looks like YES jumped in quickly, within first 10-15 minutes, to pick up then feed.
Opposite field single for McCann, top 2.7
Dustin Kutcher, Brian something? Never heard of them.
Brian Anderson, maybe Ashton Kutcher?
Odorizzi looking good thru 2.
YES continues its coverage, game now on Fox Sports 1, 583 on Fios too!
Unfortunately, Tanaka just looks more hittable this year, not as good as last year fooling batters.
Tanaka efficient tonight so far, 22 pitches in 2 innings.
The Tampa Bay booth teams pretty good, IHMO.
When are we going to get to see one of our exciting minor leaguers at 2nd instead this dreck? Perhaps, I am being overly practical and optimistic.
Sweet.
[17] Agreed. Not as anti-Yankee as usual Fox and ESPN guys.
Bought gloves for my girls and just had a catch with my wife and daughter in our local park.
Go Yanks!!
Tanaka heating up in the 4th.
Is anyone out there besides rbj and Boat?
Run-support challenged Tanaka's gotta be loving this line-up Joe put behind him with two automatic outs.
[21] We are not alone. We've got a drummer.
beautiful pitching right there!
[23] give the drummer some!
i might not be here too long. gotta make a beer run. and the place i need to go isn't too close. but they're the only place around here that has leftovers of a seasonal i want...
I'm stuck at a huge exhibition center in Yokohama listening to boring people talk about boring things. Go go, Masahiro!
Hit a homer, Alex
[0] Is that Heckscher fields? Dropped a corporate-league heartbreaker there once.
good, brett!
let's go, purple lips!
[27] yes, please!
this kid has a nice changeup.
c'mon, Tex!
a little low...
Oy, Mark
dammit.
c'mon, Mac. you hit this guy well. we need a big one here!
Triple!
I'll take that, Brian. A triple from the catcher!
Fourth triple I've seen first hand in two days.
FUCK YEAH!!!
though i really wish it would've gone out.
i'd like Mac to score.
good job, Mac!!!
wait, it hit the yellow strip. is that a homer in this joke of a ballpark? i guess not...
Who can?
crap. i'll take two, really wanted three...
i'm watching on my laptop, via mlb.tv. not sure if it's the tampa feed or not, but the announcers are pretty good. might be that anderson, kutcher team mentioned earlier in the comments...
[26] Inakamono! Very un-Jazz like.
Tanaka averaging 11 pitches per inning through 5. Amazing.
yup, brian anderson and justin kutcher.
DON'T give these runs back!
[45] It's like the "nearly celebrity" team.
BIG 'k' right there!
K with the curve
That was sweet.
This is a damn good game.
YES! tough at-bat, terrific result.
excellent!
That. Was. Truly. Amazing. Inning.
yes! sooo much better than bunting on that first pitch...
god, he's slow.
can't believe he was safe. hope it stands!
Safe! Bet it'll be challenged
SAFE!!!
Definitely safe.
tag on the tuchus was late.
why isn't drew on 3rd?!
please score drew.
Its not often ol' Bob gets one right like that
That was the weirdest safe call I ever saw. It was like shaking your head for "yes."
glad gritner is up; hard to double up.
Anyone know why A-Rod was dabbing his helmet with rosin bag in on deck circle? Psychological advantage over pitcher, distraction?
Gritner!
This is developing into a fine game.
Yay!
nice piece of hitting, brett!
double steal with a new reliever coming in, or don't distract alex? i say double steal early in the count!
That was just ball four by Balfour
another walk for alex.
more runs!
[64] Looks like he loaned it to Josh Hamilton.
shit. i just lost my mlb feed. can't get it back.
crap.
Sac fly ok by me
Sac fly is kind of a let down.
what happened with the bases loaded?
Reloaded
[75] sacrifice fly to right.
i'm back!
more runs, please. i like chris young. always have...
Woo-hoo!
Salami time for Chris Young!
A very nice game indeed!
FUCK YEAH!!!
awesome. batted around.
i want double digits!!
Fickle fans.
send tanaka-san back out after a long layoff? he hasn't thrown a lot of pitches, but it might be smart to rest him...
Wow. I'm feelin' Young.
grant him ballfour!
Okay, this is getting excessive
Brian Anderson is an ex-pitcher who had 2 Tommy John surgeries and is now the Rays color guy. Now I'm even more impressed with his objectivity.
this is fun to watch!
another ballfour.
he's taking one for the team, i guess...
hmmm, he's back out there.
not sure how much I love this...
Nice, Tanaka-San!
Still don't let him go for the CG SO.
siddown, dude.
yeah, carpenter needs to get his K's up. that was his calling card here in atlanta.
nice inning. quick, clean, and easy. 9 pitches. strikeout, groundout, fly out.
Come on blue that should have ended the game.
Pinder LOOKS like a baseball player
Just one more pin, Rodney...
A revolting development
There ha go! Night all
Good job guys. Tomorrow we get to .500.
Very nice win, you guys.
Wow, missed a fun one.
I'll go watch the highlights.
[103] Same same. I'm interested to see what Tanaka's stuff looked like. Even with the lame Rays lineup 7IP/0ER is great.
