Send in the Clowns

LoHud's blow-by-blow:

UPDATE, 4:55 p.m.: Ouch. Gardner starts the bottom of the first with a triple to right-center, but then gets picked off at third base by Chris Stewart. Not good. Blown opportunity, which lets the Pirates basically pitch around Teixeira before striking out Johnson. Scoreless after one.
UPDATE, 5:12 p.m.: Former Yankees prospect Jose Tabata is out of the game for the Pirates. He was either hurt running the bases or simply dogged it into third base, leading to an out. The Pirates have taken a 1-0 on lead on a couple of errors and a Chris Stewart single in the second inning.
UPDATE, 5:16 p.m.: It looks like a Media Game out there! The Yankees already have two errors, now Pirates right fielder Travis Snider has kicked a ball to give the Yankees a run.
UPDATE, 5:17 p.m.: Oh, and now Brendan Ryan lays down a nice bunt, Cole makes the dumb decision to try to make a highlight play and ends up throwing it away. Another run has scored, Ryan is at second, and this game is already a complete mess. Stadium is now playing (Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, which seems oddly appropriate.
