 as I look at tonight's game I say you know what they could use a hero and yes that would be Masahiro as in Masahiro Tanaka we all know he was banished to the bullpen about three and a half weeks ago he actually was banished to the bullpen after his last start against the Baltimore Orioles the future is unwritten in baseball and in other places you look at what the Yankees experience this weekend and Bob they can't change it they have to go forward but they can learn from what happened in Boston and the first thing they should learn quite honestly is they've got to play better in every facet of the game a lot of fans crying for a degrom or a bum garner they weren't ready they weren't available I should say stop dreaming get with the reality of it the reality is half as a Yankee and he can help them potentially overtake the Red Sox and the Yankees are on this nice ride and sunny gray is kind of saying take me with you I want to be on that ride think they have two clear goals one is obviously win the game but the second part of that is do it in a clean way they need their offense to produce especially in those timely spots you have a prized pitching matchup between two aces both trying to prove that they can be the king of the hill would be accurate when we look at their birth certificate because they're all in their early 20s but you're right they're not pitching like unnerved or unsaid unsettled kids who don't know what's going on that's what the Yankees need sunny gray to do tonight in his last start those eight scoreless innings that's the first time as a Yankee that he's ever had a scoreless start they can always fall back on what they've already accomplished and say wait a second we were already the best team in baseball the Yankees gained three and a half games and it's getting a little hot in the a least and the Yankees want to keep it that way the baseball season last six months muscle hero Tanaka just missed the last month of it but he's back in the New York group with the Yankees tonight and excited to be back on the mound more than anything else you just saw the musical and sartorial stylings of Jack Curry and for more pearls of wisdom and perhaps some musical asides make sure to catch Jack with Matt Stucco on Facebook during the third inning for in-game live presented by first Republic Bank Jack and Matthew will break down what they've seen during the game and they will answer your questions all right for our viewers why do you love going with the song titles you always heard the story right that an athlete is a frustrated rock star well I'm going to take that in my direction maybe a sports journalist is a frustrated rock and roll music critic when I was in college I was the sports editor of the newspaper at Fordham but I always figured out a way to write about some music to and music is my vice I love baseball and baseball fills up a large chunk of my life but when I leave here Bob I'm not listening to sports talk radio all apologies to all my friends are radio shows I'm listening to music deep roots in music having said that pop quiz time you ready for this I'm ready I'm gonna name the song you name the artist okay all right live TV no pressure just can't get enough oh that's the Pesh mode all right that was easy I started cheesy Sheena is a punk rocker oh my god if you got that wrong just banished me that's the Ramones a little respect oh that would probably be a racer thing three-for-three a new England Kirstie McCall no double B's Billy Billy Bragg boom I check out Kirstie McCall I think that was her song last one here we go we're sort of three and a half for four suede head oh that's Morrissey Morrissey slash the Smiths but it was Morrissey solo career all right last one jumping jack flash that's the rolling stones of course I'm doing all right here man you are good all
