Next Up: the New York Yankees.




Didn't we just do this? I could swear that we had. At least if I have to watch the same pitching match ups again, I can take comfort in the fact that I can watch win Remy and Don rather than the varied assortment of eejits I was subjected to over the weekend.


There have been some changes to the Yankees lineup in the past couple of days. Jeter is back and Posada hopes to be as well. If Posada doesn't play, they've called up Chad Moeller from AAA to play. He hasn't been much of a threat offensively in the past (he struck out, flied out, and walked twice tonight.) And Rodriguez is supposed to get a couple of days off this week when his wife has a baby.


Wang was nearly perfect in the last game. He admitted to throwing more four-seam fastballs in an attempt to get fly-outs rather than ground-outs and he succeeded in doing that. They were making solid contact with the ball, though. If he continues along that track maybe they'll get a few lucky drops. In the last Beckett v. Mussina game, Mussina pitched well enough for his part of the game; which was later lost by the bullpen.
