1. The Yankees vs. ESPN -- who ya got?
Here's the story: ESPN has picked a Yankees-Blue Jays game in Toronto for Sunday Night Baseball on July 8, after the game was initially supposed to be played a 1pm. ET. The Yankees are lived about this because they have a doubleheader the next day, Monday July 9, in Baltimore with Game 1 scheduled for 4 pm. ET.
"Hopefully there is some pressure being applied because that is not good for the product on the field or the safety of our guys, having go from night game, flight and right into a doubleheader," said New York manager Aaron Boone.
