    Big game.
    Obviously should be concerned with what kind of outing Cessa will give us, he's pitched okay last couple of starts but can he do it over three straight starts?

    Really Headley with a play like that? Looked like amateur hour.

    3-1 pitch and Gardner is trying to hit it out of the park instead of hard somewhere.

    They can Headley and Gardner and give them away this off-season. I know that they each had value, and somebody would take a shot but they have been epic failures for 2 years now.

    Yup, they have to send Garner somewhere for sure. Can't have him and Ellsbury out there again next season. Headley puts up platoon type numbers at third while playing pretty much full time. It's just unacceptable.

    Nice comeback to get to 4-4. Now they have to figure out a way to win this one.

    Credit to Cessa, not dominant but still kept his team in the game. Big improvement in Yankee Games is that the offense now comes back, give a pitcher confidence. All those young guys improve the running game. Now lets hope the pen can keep a lid on KC and the offense can score a couple more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The home plate umpire is god awful tonight. Should've been 3-1 to Ellsbury there.

    It's Clay Parker time. Whooptey dam doo!
    Straight 92-93 fastball with a half-ass breaking ball.

    Why the heck do the Yanks think this guy can be an asset to the bullpen?

    Unearned run charged to Cessa and a gigantic extra run on the scoreboard for KC.
    Headley couldn't just boot the grounder, he had to let it roll under his glove down the LF line for a two base error...which scored on the next batter's single.

    I guess this is going to be another long night. I'm fucking tired from last night and here we go again. These Idiots need to score some runs and put this away. Thank God for the off day tomorrow.

    Speedy Burns pinch running- SB candidate, just as I speak he steals 2B, and now a basehit can win it.
    Shit

    Parker throws garbage.....he must hope the batters just hit his fastball at a fielder or they chase an off speed pitch way out of the zone. He doesn't have an "out pitch".

    Terrible AB by Judge. I have no idea what he's looking for up there and he has to be more aggressive. He took two pitches down the middle to go down looking. The pitcher was daring him to hit it there.
