New York Yankees, let's play Family Feud.
The Yankees may be united together in hunting down their first playoff berth in the last three seasons, but they were at odds when the "Family Feud" game show was turned into "Yankee Feud."
Mark Teixeira Injury Decimates Yankee Lineup
Actor Kal Penn hosted as the Bronx Bombers broke into teams to take each other on in the famous game show. In the first game, Brett Gardner, Chase Headley, Chris Young, Brian McCann and Brendan Ryan joined forces to take on Mark Teixeira, Greg Bird, John Ryan Murphy, Dustin Ackley and Austin Romine.
Teixeira may have been sharp in the game, but on the diamond, he was lost for the season with a leg fracture. New York will miss his bat in the playoffs, especially against lefties. In "Yankee Feud," Teixeira and his teammates fielded questions about things ballplayers bring on a road trip and foods that people eat with their hands.
Bronx Bombers Fans Aren't What They Used To Be
In the second game, Andrew Miller, Adam Warren Justin Wilson, Chasen Shreve and Andrew Bailey faced-off with Nick Goody, Jose Pirela, Caleb Cotham, Bryan Mitchell and Branden Pinder.
Though they were in an all-out war on the game show, the Yankees will be united as one Thursday when they host the Red Sox looking to clinch a playoff spot with a win. After the Blue Jays clinched the AL East Wednesday, New York will look to advance to its first Wild Card Game since the format change.
Hopefully there's no residual bad blood from "Yankee Feud."
