Hopefully Bartolo Colon’s got a perfect game in that arm today, because this lineup … sheesh.
Brett Gardner, CF
Eduardo Nunez, SS
Mark Teixeira, DH
Robinson Cano, 2B
Nick Swisher, RF
Eric Chavez, 3B
Jorge Posada, 1B
Chris Dickerson, LF – why sit Granderson vs. Tillman (RHP) in the day game but start him vs. Britton (LHP) in the night game?
Frankie Cervelli, C
Bartolo Colon, SP
The first game of today’s doubleheader starts at 1:05pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
The Experience Update: Via Marc Carig, Sergio Mitre has a nerve issue in his pitching shoulder. There’s no structural damage, but he’ll need to undergo more tests. I’m no doctor, but “nerve issue” just sounds scary. Hopefully everything goes well.
