The Yankees lost three of four to Tampa Bay, but unfortunately for the Rays, no one was there to see it.

What a crazy start to the season. The debate of who's the Yankees real ace is over at least for a few weeks while Masahiro Tanaka is on the disabled list. Mike Pineda is the man now and he has the task of trying to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays for the second time this season...

Joe Girardi is doing his best mad scientist impersonation as he makes Chase Whitley his 6th starting pitcher. Not due to injury or suspension but because the Yankees play 30 out of 31 days in this stretch. This will be Whitley's first start this season but Whitley is no stranger to the Yankees fans...

The Tampa Bay Rays have been so bad their manager Joel Madden is willing to try ANYTHING! Even letting a 17 year old girl pitch batting practice. The "Knuckle Ball Princess" Chelsea Baker was trained by the late Joe Niekro and looked great against the Rays.

Baseball legend Don Zimmer passed away Wednesday night at 83-years old in Dunedin, Fla. Zimmer played in the majors from 1954-65 with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, Cubs, Mets, Reds and Senators.

The pressure will be on CC Sabathia tonight to keep up the Yankees winning ways. The Yankees are on 4 game win streak meanwhile the Rays have dropped 4 in a row. The man on the mound for Tampa Bay has been a Yankee killer David Price...
