Had dinner with Joey Chestnut last night. I ordered dogs and a beer, he ordered the salad and Pepto-Bismol. Bonded, had a couple of Maalox moments but, man, the breath on that guy.
The Yankees and Rays are playing a four-game set at Tampa Bay. First-place Yanks have a 7 ¹/u2082-game lead on the Rays after winning Thursday’s opener. Rays, looking to narrow the gap, go with Brendan McKay. Young lefty was called up from Triple-A Durham last week and made the most of his MLB debut, shutting out the Rangers for six innings. Put to the test facing the Bombers lineup.
