Tanaka pitched. Tanaka won. 24-0 is still attainable. The Yankees can go for the series victory today. CC Sabathia gets to start in his old stomping grounds. Meanwhile, the Daily Predictions results from yesterday were stunning. Find out why.
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but after the brutal slump last weekend, the Yankees have been forming their Pinstripe Megazord into a more cohesive unit. With the resurgence of Mark Teixeira and Brian Roberts, the continued contributions of Yangervis Solarte and the others, and the solid looking bullpen, this team seems like it's coming together. Masahiro Tanaka is still pitching well. Hopefully, the other starters can follow through. Looking at you, Sabathia.

Pamela & Paula Platypus would like to wish Tanya a belated Happy Birthday, hence why they gave her the honorary Best Yankee of the night. It seems that Waffles' birthday brings all the points to the yard, as we have a PSA DP record. Nobody won yesterday, but long time listener, HighFlyers28, noonoo, and kshaw90 all tied with 4,000 points each. It's hard enough for one person to get 4,000 points, but four PSAers managed it in one night. Unbelievable. Lilly, Andrew, Elcruzter, and NoMahbles all tied for 2nd with 3,000 a piece. Points galore.

CC Sabathia takes the mound tonight against Kyle Lohse. A while ago, this would have seemed like a pretty good pitching matchup. The Yankees will hope to guarantee a series win against the Brewers tonight.
