The Yankees have been atop the AL East — either tied or sole possession — since June 11th, exactly half-a-season ago (81 games). For the fourth time in a week, a loss tonight coupled with an Orioles win would put them into second place for the first time since the finale of the Subway Series in CitiField. Yeah, it’s been a while. At the same time, a win tonight and an Orioles loss will continue to keep New York in first place for at least another day. I much prefer that. Here’s the lineup…
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
DH Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
1B Nick Swisher
LF Raul Ibanez
3B Eric Chavez
RF Ichiro Suzuki
C Chris Stewart
RHP David Phelps
Tonight’s game is scheduled to start at 7:10pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and ESPN nationally. Try to enjoy.
