The one time Rays ace tries to return to the form that once make him Nolan Ryan's heir (as best Met prospect traded away).

No team can win every game. Sooner or later, a team will run into a pitcher having a great night. But the good teams win series. The great teams win series against the good teams.

Let's see if the Yanks can open the season with a third straight series win against a playoff contender.

If GGBG can't get the start against a lefty, at least it's not Marcus Thames.

Just realized the game is on My9 for all us in the NYC Metro area.
