Daily Yankees Predictions 5/14/14: Save us, Tanaka

Let's see here. Injuries? Check. Losing to the Mets? Check. It's starting to feel like 2013 again really quickly. Here's hoping that Tanaka can help us salvage this series at Citi Field. PSA DP answers and questions as well. Did anyone win?

In case you haven't been keeping track, that's 4 loses in a row. The last time the Yankees won was when Masahiro Tanaka pitched. He's more than welcome to help us stabilize this ship again.

5/13/14 Daily Prediction Answers

1. How many innings does the Yankee starter pitch? 3.1
2. How many relief pitchers do the opponents use? 2
3. Total number of hits? 9 (Home) / 10 (Away)
4. Total number of combined home runs? 4
5. Total number of Yankees left on base? 9
6. Name one Yankee you think will have the most RBIs McCann
7. Name one Yankee you think will hit a home run tonight McCann/Solarte
8. Best overall Yankee of the night? McCann

The Aardvarks were one day sober. One day. Then the Yankee injuries and the current losing streak took their toll and Aaron Uno is vomiting into Aaron Dos' pants. Aaron Tres thinks they're giraffes and not Aardvarks. Poor, drunken Aardvarks. Alas, no one won yesterday. No one. There was a debate on whether or not to add Solarte to the Best overall Yankee of the night, but the error gave the nudge to McCann and McCann alone. You know, if he starts hitting, then I guess we did win something last night

Also just as a note, a few people guessed two numbers for both the home & away teams for Question 3. You only get to guess one number for the total number of hits. That one number will apply to both the home team & the away team. For example, if you guess the number 9, you have two chances to be right. On Tuesday, if you guessed 14, you would have been right twice and thus been awarded double points.

What is your ideal breakfast sandwich?

The pitching staff is in absolute shambles right now. It's Tanaka, a questionable Hiroki Kuroda, and bourbon. Sweet bourbon. Brownest of the brown liquors. Thankfully Tanaka pitches tonight at Citi Field against the Mets. I think it's safe to say that we need him now more than ever. Furthermore, we need the offense to continue scoring like they have been. Most importantly, we need people to stay healthy. It's getting ugly out there.

Let's Go Yankees.
