   Hey Pete,

   Thanks for the lineup, but you should change your headline to “Yanks at Indians”.

   Keep up the good work.

   interesting to see girardi throwing out the righthand squad to face sabathia. perhaps a preview of the line up this year against tough leftys. but if that is the case, why no jeter?
   betemit can’t hit righthanded.

   When Kobayashi pitches for the indians they should have some kind of promotion with Nathans…

   Tuesday was supposed to be a day off, now it’s the VT game. So, regulars are getting an extra day of rest during the days leading up to tuesday. I guess this is Jeter and Posada’s day off.

   And Damon and Matsui’s. Though I’m sure both are HAPPY to sit against Sabathia:-)

   Pete —

   Is Betemit’s job on the team in jeopardy? I thought he was a lock, but maybe not.

   How many OF do they have still in spring training? How are they narrowing it done from?

   Cabrerra
   Matsui
   Lane
   Gardner
   Porter
   Damon
   Abreu

   Did a miss one?
   How many do you think they will break camp with?
   Doesn’t Lane have a clause to get out of his contract if he doesn’t make the team?

   With no midges to be a difference maker, I’d say the Yankees take this game. GRRR!!!! Every time I think about it. I swear I will never understand erratic pitching. I can see pitchers having bad outings once in a while, but even with Wang it drives me crazy. (Today of course his first inning was great. That’s usually a good sign for him.) But what’s up with him having great outings and mediocre outings, with the possibility of it happening back to back. That’s a rhetorical question naturally.

    In case I haven’t mentioned it yet, or at least mentioned it ad nauseum, I absolutely love Melky Cabrera. Thanks Hank for holding that line.
