I really dislike the new playoff system. It’s early-May and tonight’s series opener against the Rays feels like a big game because winning the division is actually important now. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good for baseball that these games are more important and all that, but I’m just not used to it and I’m not sure I like it. I’ve always felt that as a fan, the best part of the 162-game schedule was not stressing out over games early in the season. I just want to relax and watch some baseball on May 8th, not worry about the game’s impact on the standings at the end of season. Sigh. Anyway, here’s the lineup…
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
1B Mark Teixeira
RF Nick Swisher
DH Raul Ibanez
C Russell Martin
LF Eduardo Nunez
RHP Ivan Nova
Tonight’s game is scheduled to start a little after 7pm ET, but the weather in New York is not great. It’s been overcast all day and the forecast says there’s a chance of showers basically all night and into tomorrow morning. The game will air on YES locally and MLB Network nationally if the weather cooperates. Enjoy.
