The Cubs have never beaten the Yankees in New York, save an exhibition win in 2009 to open New Yankee Stadium.

0-12 overall with 4 of those losses coming in the World Series.

As far as I can tell, there are only 2 other matchups in baseball where one team has never beaten the other:

1. The White Sox have never won in Atlanta (A CWS @ ATL series is next week)

2. The Rockies have never won in Toronto (won't be playing there until 2024)

I went to every game last time they were in Yankee Stadium. It was awful.

Swanson just said that he won't be playing in the All-Star game.  Stroman already said that not only will he not pitch but he is going to PR over the ASB to relax so he won't be there.  Hopefully Steele gets into the game so we can have something to look forward to.  

TBH, he should probably start with Kershaw on the IL, but have a feeling they will go with someone with more name recognition.

first 3 batters: Lineout, base hit, lineout

Taillon's strategy is apparently for the Yankees to hit missiles right at our outfielders all night

Seriously. Tons of line drives directly at fielders

I know others feel differently but I'm often relieved when players bow out of the ASG, particularly pitchers.
