The last two times I made it to the Bronx for a playoff game, the Yankees were eliminated. The first was Game Four against the Indians in 2007, the second was Game Five of last year’s ALDS. Unless you’re celebrating a World Championship, there’s nothing fun about walking out of the Stadium following the last game of the season. The last three or four days have been pretty rough in Yankeeland, both on and off the field, so a win against the Tigers tonight would be greatly appreciated. Here’s the starting nine…
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
DH Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
1B Mark Teixeira
RF Nick Swisher
LF Raul Ibanez
3B Eric Chavez
C Russell Martin
RHP Ivan Nova
Tonight’s game starts a little after 7pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Just a heads up, DotF and the game recap will be up a little later than usual. Enjoy the game.
