This has felt like a really long road trip, hasn’t it? Yeah it’s only eight games, but there were also three off-days mixed in as well. Going out on the road for eleven days is an eternity for an East Coast team. Factor in the different time zones and I’m definitely ready for the Yankees to come back to the Bronx. A few games back home well be a welcome sight no matter how poorly they’ve played. Here’s the starting lineup that will face (yet another lefty) Hector Santiago:
- CF Brett Gardner
- LF Alfonso Soriano
- 3B Alex Rodriguez
- 2B Robinson Cano
- DH Vernon Wells
- RF Curtis Granderson
- SS Eduardo Nunez
- 1B Lyle Overbay
- C Austin Romine
And on the mound is CC Sabathia, who currently ranks 81st out of 91 qualified pitchers with a 4.78 ERA. They need to figure out what’s wrong him and soon. Not necessarily for this year, that ship has pretty much sailed, but for next year and beyond. This ain’t good.
It was raining rather hard in Chicago this afternoon, but it’s all cleared up and they aren’t expected to have any trouble getting the game in. First pitch is scheduled for 8:10pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
