Here are the lineups:

Daisuke Matsuzaka RHP (2-0, 1.47 ERA)

(Lineups from Peter Abraham)

NOTES: The forecast calls for cold temperatures in the 30's and a 20% chance of rain. ... Melky is sitting because of his 0-for-7 against Matsuzaka, Damon also has very good numbers against him .385 (5-13), with HR and 4 RBI. ... Ed Price reports that Jorge Posada thinks he will be able to catch on Wednesday, though I don't think anyone misses him behind the plate since Molina has been so good. ... Peter Abraham is reporting that Derek Jeter fielded nearly 50 grounders, tonight before the game and also did nine 50-yard sprints. Jeter said he felt no discomfort in his quad and should be able to go either Tuesday or Wednesday.

No Ortiz... wow.

Greg Cohen said...

The way he's swinging the bat I wish he was starting.

Finally a stolen base.... and as I type this A-Rod kills the rally, damn it Alex.

Greg Cohen said...

The umpire is squeezing Hughes... these umps have been terrible all year. Not only for the Yanks, but everyone.

Anonymous said...

The is squeezing him and now he's lost the plate. He better be careful with Manny.

Greg Cohen said...

Way too many deep counts. He won't make it past the 4th like this.

Anonymous said...

With the way the Yanks are hitting those 2 runs might be enough for a win. 27 pitches already for Hughes.. NOT GOOD.

Anonymous said...

Hughes reminds me of Mike Mussina, he's trying to be too perfect.

Greg Cohen said...

Wow, Hughes has nothing tonight. He better fix himself quick or this will be 4 or 5 nothing very soon.

Anonymous said...

Matsuzaka has nothing and this awful offense keeps letting him off the hook. It's been two weeks and I'm already sick of this team.

Anonymous said...

So then stop watching.

Anonymous said...

Nah, I'm just frustrated.

Greg Cohen said...

If Hughes wasn't afraid of the strike zone, he'd be a heck of a pitcher. His stuff is there, he just has to learn how to use it.

I agree completely Greg, he looks bat shy.

After watching Bichholz dominate the Yankees the other day this is even more depressing.

Greg Cohen said...

Buccholz, not Bichholz.

Yea, that's what I meant, stupid keyboard.

Greg Cohen said...

This game is making me sick.

If they can do something here we might have a ball game.

Anonymous said...

at least they cut the lead in half... the bullpen has to hold them at 7.

BIG DP THERE!

Greg Cohen said...

Yea that was big, the last thing the Yanks needed was to allow a run or two that inning.

Anonymous said...

A-Rod is in full choke mode. God I hate that son of a bitch.

Greg Cohen said...

Hahahaha, tell us how you really feel.

Giambi or Cano kills every rally. It's so frustrating watching these bums hit.

Anonymous said...

Since that first inning Ohlendorf has done a pretty good job. I'm surprised Girardi left him out there for a 3rd inning but hey, it worked.

Anonymous said...

He'd have done even better if he didn't allow all those inherited runners to score in the 3rd.

Anonymous said...

True.

Anonymous said...

They just can't get hit with runners in scoring position. It's really getting pathetic.

Greg Cohen said...

As long as Giambi is facing Timlin he's fine, if he faces anyone else he's worthless.

Anonymous said...

Who's the backup catcher today, Ensberg?

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, I wonder if they're gonna put Posada back there. I thought he couldn't throw.

And Damon ruins the rally.

Anonymous said...

with the way Damon is swinging the bat, why not bunt there?

Greg Cohen said...

I agree, they should have bunted.

And why is Posada catching if he can't throw the ball?

Ugly game, I'm going to bed.

I just had to walk around my block for a while.. I hate losing to Boston.

Good night Greg.

Good night everyone.

Maybe they can beat the Rays tomorrow.

Goodnight everybody.
