I am coming to you live from Yankee Stadium where the New York Yankees open a 3 game set against Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yanks are coming into tonight's game after a win against the Boston Red Sox. They find themselves three and a half games out of the second wild card spot. With this late surge, the Yankees are giving their fans a reason to believe they can still make the postseason. This comes after the departures of big superstars, such as Andrew Miller and Carlos Beltran. Another looming departure is the retirement of the 14-time All-Star, Alex Rodriguez. Over the past couple days there has been tension between Yankee manager Joe Girardi and A-Rod concerning the slugger's playing time. It was first reported on August 7 that Alex would be released after tonight's game and serve as special team advisor. Hopefully, tonight's game will send Alex off with a bang. Well, that's all for now. Reporting live from Yankee Stadium, this has been Mr. Lightning. Thanks for reading. Let's go Yankees!
P.S. You can catch tonight's game at 7:00 EST on The YES Network
