Today, Labor Day, which looks to be a very nice day, the Yankees will play a day night double header against the Rays. I’m really looking forward to it because it means twice as much Yankee baseball as usual. Hopefully the Yankees can win the first game, which would take the pressure off AJ Burnett in the second game, plus it is rare for a team to win both games of a double header. Anyway, here are the lineups via Pete Abe:
Game 1 – 1:05pm
SS Derek Jeter
RF Nick Swisher
1B Mark Teixeira
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
C Jorge Posada
DH Eric Hinske
LF Melky Cabrera
CF Brett Gardner – Welcome back!
And on the mound, CC Sabathia
Game 2 – 7:05pm
TBA
The boys are back in town
Brett Gardner is back with the big team, and Shelley Duncan will be too according to Pete Abe Duncan has been recalled.
A couple videos to pass the time
Sorry for the shortage of posts lately, with the summer ending and school starting I’ve been a bit busy lately, hopefully when things settle down I’ll be able to provide regular posts.
