Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Jorge Posada DH
Francisco Cervelli C
Ramiro Pena 3B
Kevin Russo LF
Just a few minutes ago, Posada was on the field going through catching drills with Tony Pena. Posada first played catch with Pena, who gradually worked his way farther and farther from home plate, eventually getting to second base and beyond. Pena then pitched to Posada, who caught the ball in a catcher’s crouch, then popped to throw to another coach at second. When Posada was actually crouching behind the plate, Joe Girardi stood no more than four feet away to get a good look.
UPDATE, 3:41 p.m.: Brett Gardner is going to hit for the first time in two days.
So close-I think I had Nino and Russo switched around.
A-Rod is out for 2-3 months.
Irreverent – you’re probably right. Half of us spend so much time at LoHud I can’t envision many regulars with a good tan..

Should we settle this once and for all and plan a LoHud beach trip?!
=============================================
Atlantic Beach is nice but you can’t get on it.
whew. pena and russo back to back.
Granderson in the 2 spot baby!
Speed at 2 with Curtis, dropping Swish to 5 to try to pick up Alex’s lost power…
LOL-I didn’t even notice Granderson was hitting second. I guess I was further off than I thought.
sometimes a lineup shakeup is good for a team
That bottom third of the lineup is U-G-L-Y.
For Nick in SF, our daily Austin Jackson update!……
0-3 last night with a BB and a K.
For the month of June: 9-40 (.225), 0 HR, 0 RBI, 1 BB, 8 K’s in 9 games.
Last 27 games, he’s hitting .240.
In other words, his unsustainable numbers are now coming down to earth.
the logical place for a lohud meet and greet would be at the Stadium
mick – you may not be a beach fan, but what are your thoughts on pools?
agreed.. right under the Paul Oneill banner, right guys??
There were no winners in Today’s Guess The Line Up
But Trevor, you came so close. You had 1-7 exactly right.
i have been in the office pool a few times
No one guessed Russo in LF, no one guessed Pena batting 8th.
undr the oneill banner would be good, i might be there for the 1st philly game
Gardner is hitting today. That seems like good news.
“the logical place for a lohud meet and greet would be at the Stadium”
How would you know the lohudder you were meeting was the real one and not an imposter?
Irreverent – you’re probably right. Half of us spend so much time at LoHud I can’t envision many regulars with a good tan..

I have a pretty sweet golfer’s tan. Face and arms are tan except a completely white left hand.
Gardner went for an MRI today right?
alright russo could be a tough out…sandwich pena between , i get it
What I mean to say is no one guessed Russo in LF batting 9th. Sorry for the confusion. Plenty of people had Pena and Russo reversed in the order. But not many had Grandy 2nd and Swisher 5th.
There were so many great combinations today, I really thought one of them was the winner.
LoHudYankees Brett Gardner is on his way to hit for the first time in two days
How would you know the lohudder you were meeting was the real one and not an imposter?

name tags ..picture id’s.. drivers license…passport

Ask him/her his/her views on Joba Chamberlain

**********************
He did-must have gone OK since he’s hitting now.
Well Patrick, I’m a Jersey girl so I always have a tan, but I can’t expect everyone to live up to the high standards here in the Garden State
Mick – I’m imagining you in a kiddie pool surrounded by cubicles.
SI_JonHeyman arod was due for mri this aft. #yankees think — hope — groin tweak unrelated to hip. even if its not, theyll be cautious.
could we actually speak to each other or would we have to text?
shame
I have indeed done the kiddie pool scene, quite refreshing
i have a decent bleacher tan going, the left side of my face is darker (ok… redder) than the right… needs more day home games!
LoHudYankees Alfredo Aceves will begin throwing on Sunday. Only flat ground for now. “Nothing crazy,” he said.
mick – its all starting to come together! i now have a perfect mental image of you..
we would no longer have the cloak of anonymity if we met at Stadium
Our bottom third looks like it should be on the Astros roster.
i’ll be at the saturday mets game if anyone wants to grab a beer
I wonder if A-Rod should have had that second surgery in the off season.
tmz – our bottom third would be starting over the guys on the astros roster.

So sorry.
Pat
that is good news, I almost forgot about Ace
Very good news on Aceves

Just like Cervelli. Both were hitting over their heads.
Alright guys, I gotta run but I’m gonna work on a LoHud take over of the bleacher soon!
If they can get Ace by after the ASB, it would be like making a trade for a relief pitcher.

I’m going to stalk you so bad bro
Betsy are you depressed?
patrick – the ultimate form of flattery, next to assassination. thanks
mick
Stop it. Taunting is a 15 yard penalty.
isn;t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?
not a taunt
we all love betsy
patrick – the ultimate form of flattery, next to assassination. thanks

I was joking.
I only stalk women (shhhh)
YankeesInk Gardner grade 1 strain of thumb ligament. Day to day.
YankeesInk Arod not yet back from doctor. No word yet.
YankeesInk Girardi says hip a concern. Hopes MRI will rule it out. Referred pain from hip to groin possible, he says.
YankeesInk Girardi says all he knows is that Alex is seeing team doctor today. Said he assumes he will keep Phillipon informed but knows of no appt.
Greetings to UpState Kate, Doreen and Erin.
Comet
Hoping A-Rod in not out for 2 to 3 months. We need Gardner back ASAP.
So now Joe is saying it could be hip related? Ouch

Hi Comet!
YankeesInk It is still possible that, if Alex shows up at park and is cleared to play, he will be in lineup, says Joe. (don’t hold breath).
New Post re: Alex still at doctor
Arod’s hip/groin issue would explain his lack of power and driving the ball. Hopefully it’s nothing serious. The lineup is going to struggle without him like it did last year. With Arod out it’s time for Tex to finally step up.
Hi Comet
send some Tim Horton’s donuts my way
I’ve seen others question Joe as to why he didn’t give Alex an extra day or two off in the O’s series – and I can’t blame them.
