Regular Season Game 13
Yankees (6-6) @ Red Sox (6-6)
Fenway Park - Boston, MA
Game Time: 8:05 PM
TV: ESPN - MLB.TV | Radio: WCBS 880 - XM Radio

Here are the lineups:

YANKEES
Johnny Damon, CF
Robinson Cano, 2B
Bobby Abreu, RF
Alex Rodriguez, 3B
Hideki Matsui, LF
Jorge Posada, DH
Jason Giambi, 1B
Jose Molina, C

Dustin Pedroia, 2B
J.D. Drew, RF

Kevin Youkilis, 3B
Sean Casey, 1B
Jason Varitek, C
Coco Crisp, CF
Julio Lugo, SS

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.

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

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

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

    Who's the backup catcher today, Ensberg?

  32. Greg CohenApril 13, 2008 at 11:37 PM

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

    And Damon ruins the rally.

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

    ReplyDelete
  34. Greg CohenApril 13, 2008 at 11:50 PM

    I agree, they should have bunted.

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