It’s raining in the Bronx, and the radar doesn’t look too promising. They say they want to get this game in tonight, but expect a lengthy delay first. Feel free to use this post as an open thread while we wait for first pitch.
In injury news, Will Carroll at Baseball Prospectus noted that because Xavier Nady has already had Tommy John surgery once before, his elbow ligament is actually a tendon. That could affect how much the experimental platelet-rich plasma procedure actually helps him. Hopefully there’s no issues and Nady comes back sooner rather than later.
Anywho, here’s the lineup should this one ever get underway:
Jeter, SS
Damon, LF
Teixeira, 1B
Swisher, RF
Cano, 2B
Posada, DH
Melky, CF
Molina, C
Berroa, 3B
And on the mound, number sixty-five, Phil Hughes.
