Game 109: Yanks vs. Angels

Regular Season Game 109
Yankees (59-49) vs. Angels (68-40)
Yankee Stadium - Bronx, NY
Game Time: 7:05 p.m.
TV: MY9 - MLB.TV | Radio: WCBS 880

Here are the lineups:

YANKEES
 Johnny Damon LF
Derek Jeter SS
Bobby Abreu RF
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Jason Giambi DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Wilson Betemit 1B
Ivan Rodriguez C
Melky Cabrera CF

Sidney Ponson (6-2, 4.59 ERA)

ANGELS

Ervin Santana (11-5, 3.57 ERA)

Notes: Why is Wilson Betemit playing first tonight? The guys is 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts against Santana. The guy doesn't deserve to be on the team, forget about getting actual playing time. ... After last night's rough outing Chris Britton was sent back to Scranton, and Brian Bruney has been called up. He has been out since April 22nd with a lisfranc fracture of his right foot.

    Why on earth would they ever sit Nady? Sit Abreu and move Nady to RF for a game if you have to in order to get others playing time. But don't sit Nady. Esp. if it would mean Betemit is in the line-up otherwise, like today, most unfortunately.

    Id rather have Sexson play 1st. Hes just as likely to homer as to K against Santana ( look at his career #'s vs him)

    nice job guys, if you want to beat the Angels you have to hit with RISP.

    Is there anyone on this team that can bunt a runner over?

    Hitting and running is obviously never an option.

  12. Greg CohenAugust 1, 2008 at 8:48 PM

    Can anyone on this team step up and get a big hit?

    Anyone?

    Oh no, not Mo in a non save situation.

    LOL, was thinking the same thing.

    Well you were right, 1-0 Angels, and counting. It may be the time to stop using Mo in these spots. Just a thought.
