Well, technically it’s 101 games to go right now. After this afternoon’s game against the Royals there will be 100 games left in the season. That really doesn’t mean anything, but I’ve always felt going from triple-digit to double-digit games remaining drove home the point that the season isn’t young anymore. Early season hot streaks are now something more than a hot streak. Same with slumps.
Anyway, I don’t know where I was going with that. I guess that the Yankees need to play better? That kinda goes without saying. I’m yammering. Here is the Royals lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- SS Derek Jeter
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- DH Carlos Beltran
- C Brian McCann
- 3B Yangervis Solarte
- RF Ichiro Suzuki
- 2B Brian Roberts
- 1B Kelly Johnson
RHP Hiroki Kuroda
It’s cloudy and humid in Kansas City but there is no rain in the forecast. This afternoon’s game is scheduled to begin a bit after 2pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
Injury Updates: Mark Teixeira (wrist) is fine. Joe Girardi is just being proactive and giving him a day off … Shawn Kelley (back) will pitch in another minor league rehab game on Monday and rejoin the team on Wednesday if all goes well … Frankie Cervelli (hamstring) will take ground balls at first base during his rehab assignment.
