Man, it doesn’t get any easier for our boys, who return to the Stadium with heavy hearts as the Yanks play the first game at home since Yogi died. The loss is deeper now that they’re home. So there’s that. And then, when the game starts, Chris Sale will be on the bump for the White Sox who regularly slings nastiness all night. Yanks have never hit the guy.
But who said it was supposed to be easy?
And maybe Big Mike will be dyno-mite–ya never know.

Chase Headley 3B

Never mind the nitpickin’:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Sale is 11 Ks away from setting a new White Sox single season record. Let's hope he doesn't get there tonight.
I'm here! Saw the video tribute for Yogi. Perfect night at the stadium! Amazing seats - 205, 2nd row, middle.
GO YANKS!!!
thelarmis, root us a win. Not sure if you're connected, a little dusty there for Yogi?
Melke! Wonder if he still talks to Arod?
Nice n easy start
[2] Caught the tail end, Taps. Well done
rbj - the anthem was sung very well by a female naval officer.
God, I remember Melky's first ab like it was yesterday. He drew a key walk off fucking Schilling.
They didn't run on Beli. Good thing too - it was an accurate throw!
Phew
I must be feeling better
Bollocks!
I guess it's interference
C'mon, Carlos, big fly, right here. Make it 3-0.
Laka Gravis Voice: Thankyouverymuch.
Carlos go boom!
BELI!!! He BELTed it for me : )
Great catch by the kid. That was great!
Considering the first third of the season, Carlos has been a revelation. Where would the Yankees be without him? Admittedly, I thought his contract was a mistake.
I know I am immature for a man of 58, but

A-Rod now has 2,000 runs! Amazing.
Nice play, Chase!
(About time)
Phew again
Chase what matters getting Big Pine through his always worrisome 5th.
Dammit
Suck it up Big Pine and get through seven.
Boy, that Thomson family is no joke.
[27] I know the NBA dad, but mom must be an athlete too.
That's what, 7 Ks for Sale?
Now 8?
Ref and Ackley no match for Sale.
Ugh
Delbeta save us.
The Thompson family can't spell first names : )
I thought Dellin should've faced Abreu. Leche the most important at-bat of the game. Betances looks massive on the mound in person. He's like The Hulk. Damn.
Throw strikes, dude!
Melky's promo picture on the scoreboard is all kindsa terrible.
Lost him. Crap.
Here's that Thompson guy again. I've been sitting behind him tonight. Never heard of him, but I hate him! : )
Jesus.
His confidence is shot.
Fuck. Dellin has been over used.
FUCK!
Thrice phew
Besides all that above, he is getting squeezed. Two balls should have been strikes.
[41] with a little word rearrangement of those sentences . . .
OK, I'll show myself out
[42] lol go for it! It's after 9 pm.
Hate that the offense is asleep, and the bullpen is on edge. What will happen...
Already at 20 pitches...
Oh, shit, YES.
And where is everybody? Not only at the Banter, but the stadium is pretty empty. Beautiful night, perfect weather, Yogi...
Nice DP!!
There's no way there are 35,132 here...
Dang having trouble connecting to the server
Insurance please. Maybe the Aflac duck, who doesn't actually speak, according to Yogi.
There's one.
Ugh.
Hey yo, had to listen to John and Suzyn for a few innings. Here for the finish.
And here's the biggest AB of the game, maybe, Abreu with a man on...
One down
Oh, baby.
Andrew's got it.
Two down
RBJ, you are behind!
Oh, maybe you aren't.
Nice to win a baseball game.
Yay!
That could have been an unpleasant loss, huh?
But it's a good win! Because they're all good.
Three down!
Night all
Win them all. What the hell!
[ 57] I do have to refreshing my drink.
Another nail biter. But it's a WIN. We'll take it. Gladly.
Let's hope Dellin can keep it together. He's teetering right now.
I'm 2-2 this season! : )
