Notes: Peter Abraham reports that Jorge Posada is "a little under the weather," so that's why he's sitting. . . . Brett Gardner is 1-for-13 so far in his short career. Maybe he should look across the diamond at what Jacoby Ellsbury did yesterday. Ellsbury bunted for hits twice, and it's time Gardner started doing the same thing. ... The Yanks have lost 5 of 6, and 9 of 14, so this team needs to turn things around right now.

Yanks vs. Masterson

The Yanks have never faced Masterson . . . Oh no.
