I'm not worried about the lineup. Swish and Posada are carrying it right now, hopefully long enough until Tex and ARod are back. The bullpen is what scares me the most. Nobody is looking good. Coke, Albaladejo, and Veras have been shelled and Ramirez either strikes a guy out or gives up a double it seems. Why has Marte only been in one game? Right now I don't trust a single reliever in that bullpen. Hopefully Bruney gets it together.
well Ransom found his way to the bench, and Pena is getting a shot at 3B tonight. Teixeira is back in the lineup, Damon & Matsui getting a day off, Posada a half-day off... Yankees: Gardner CF Jeter SS Teixeira 1B Swisher LF Posada DH Cano 2B Nady RF Pena 3B Molina C Rays: Upton CF Crawford LF Longoria 3B Pena 1B Burrell DH Navarro C Zobrist RF Iwamura 2B Bartlett SS
Ya, the flu sucks. I have it now too. I can barely walk, my joints and shoulders and knees are just aching. Poor sellout.
Finally Ransom is on the bench. Whatever Pena does, it's an upgrade. Glad to see Tex back. Nice to see Matsui out too. Plus it gives a good excuse to give Posada some rest. It's about time Swisher moved to the best part of the order. And finally Cano is hitting ahead of Nady. I couldn't understand why at any point they were reversed.
