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.

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.

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?

Pete —

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

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

“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?”

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.

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

Hey Pete,

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

Keep up the good work.
