BRONX Bombers head to of all Places "CHAVEZ Ravine" to take on "A Red-Hot DODGERS Blue"....the CAPTAIN n SORIANO vs "CUBAN Missile" PUIG, HANLEY, CLAYTON, and A-GON among others...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report "NOSTALGIA Series 2K13" #YANKSbiz #LADbiz

It's only two games but the New York Yankees and L.A. Dodgers lock gloves in Chavez Ravine with two teams going in different directions. The Yanks are fourth in the AL East as we go to press with plenty of work to do not only to pass the O's but to catch the AL East leading Tampa Bay Rays with the Carmines 1/2 game behind them.

The Dodgers have been on fire since they took in on June 22nd. The streak has involved a Puig and Hanley Ramirez that's playing "lights out", Pitching led by Kershaw and Greinke, and an attitude that we are the hunted not the hunter. The Dodgers keep at that almost .700 Hardball Pace the West will be won in the 2nd week of September. Now comes a two game set to maybe get the Yanks going.

BRONX Bombers @ DODGERS 2-Piece from Chavez Ravine

July 30, 2013 10:10pm ET
NYY Pettitte (7-8) vs LAD Greinke (8-3)

July 31 2013 10:10pm ET
NYY Kuroda (10-6) vs LAD Kershaw (10-6)

Unfortunately for the Yankees they get to see the Top Two on the Dodgers Staff in Kershaw and Greinke. Both Pettitte and Kuroda (the Yankees best 2013 Pitcher) must give the Yanks a chance as that Dodgers Line Up has been annihilating opposing pitching through this current stretch. If it gets to the closers the Yanks have the edge of course...the Sandman...Mo!
