After losing last night earlier this morning, the Yankees send Joba to the hill against the Sox hitters. The Yankees will throw out the following lineup to face Josh Beckett:
SS Derek Jeter
LF Johnny Damon
1B Mark Teixeira
DH Hideki Matsui
2B Robinson Cano
RF Nick Swisher
CF Melky Cabrera
3B Ramiro Pena
C Jose Molina
And on the mound, Joba Chamberlain
Bad News… Jorge Posada hit the DL today. He has a strained hamstring. According to Peter Abraham, the Yankees are saying he will be out for 2-3 weeks, but the fear is that he could actually be out for 2-5 weeks. (Sigh) Just when he was really getting hot. Francisco Cervelli was called up from Trenton to take his place. Cervelli had 11 hits in 58 AB’s down in AA. That’s a .190 batting average. Ouch. Well, he did have two home runs.
Arod Update… Alex went 3-6 today with two home runs and a single. He also made several plays. I think we can look at Friday as the return date.
Hopefully, Mark starts to get hot now.
Thanks for the plug! Maybe linking to the site on the side bar will help increase the traffic from your site to ours. I’m throwing up a link to your blog on our site as well.
This movement is gaining steam. Now we need to mobilize people to make this happen!
