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)

Greg Cohen said...

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

and who the hell is that P.A Announcer? No Bill Hall? Any word on Bob Sheppard?

Greg Cohen said...

A friend of mine just asked me the same thing, I can't tell who it is.

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

Hitting and running is obviously never an option.

Greg Cohen said...

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

Anyone?

Oh no, not Mo in a non save situation.

Greg Cohen said...

LOL, was thinking the same thing.

Greg Cohen said...

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

Another painful loss. I hate the Angels.

This is disgusting. Seriously.

Greg Cohen said...

It really is. I'm starting to get fed up with this team.
