Yankees (77-69) vs. Rays (87-57)
Yankee Stadium - Bronx, NY
Game Time: 7:05 p.m.
TV: YES - MLB.TV | Radio: WCBS 880
Here are the lineups:
YANKEES
Johnny Damon CF
Derek Jeter SS
Bobby Abreu RF
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Jason Giambi 1B
Xavier Nady LF
Hideki Matsui DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Jose Molina C
Sidney Ponson RHP (8-5, 5.10 ERA)
RAYS
Matt Garza RHP (11-9, 3.55 ERA)
Notes: In 26 games (25 starts) Sidney Ponson is 8-9 with a 4.19 ERA against the Rays. This season he's 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in two starts against them. ... Why is Jason Giambi still batting 5th? I know the season is basically over, but how about taking the guy who is hitting .200 with RISP out of an RBI spot?

Governors' Cup Update: In the top of the 4th the SWB Yanks are leading the Durham Bulls 10-0. They currently lead this best of five series 2 - 1 so it looks like the SWB Yanks on well on their way to a championship (I hope I didn't just jinx them). Phil Hughes is on the mound and he looks strong through three, he's allowed one hit and two walks, and has struck out seven. You can follow the game here. You can also watch the game for free, you just have to register. ... Hughes now has 10 strikeouts through four innings, and the Yanks lead 10-1. ... 11-1 through five. Hughes is at 97 pitches so he's probably done. His final line: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R , 1 ER, 4 BB, 12 K. More on this game in the minor league report later.

There's an 70-80% chance of rain until 12:00. Why not just cancel the game? ... Oh right, they want to suck as much money out of the fans as possible on concessions.
Yep.
