    June 17: WSH @ NYY

    Lineup:

    Damon LF
    Swisher RF
    Tex 1B
    A-Rod 3B
    Cano 2B
    Posada C
    Matsui DH
    Cabrera CF
    Pena SS

    I'm glad Joe didn't opt for Berroa, I was actually worried about it.

    I blame Girardi

    At least Girardi hasn't lost his "fire" like Pinella:

    Lou Piniella bristled at the suggestion he has lost the fire that has been so much a part of his persona throughout his long and successful baseball career. "What do I need to show fire for?" Piniella said. "I'm not a dragon."

    The Berroa situation still confuses me...one of the most perplexing of the Cashman Era.

    Would of liked to see Cervelli at C and Posada at DH. Give Mats a rest, he looked awful last night.

    I was hoping for the same, but I figured Posada would catch with Derek out to give the lineup a little extra pop. Not that I think it really needed it.

    Posada and Wang have also worked successfully with each other for a number of years, and perhaps Joe figures it's best to give Wang the more familiar face.

    You would like to see Posada in Guantanamo. With Jeter out, and who knows what you're going to get out of Wang, the Yanks can't afford to give away any offense.

    There's your answer. Wang needs all the help he can get!

    Looking like he'll get 9 days rest- in FLA, ATL, and Shea. Really doubt Joe will have him play in the outfield

    Joe said he would not start in NL parks but he would use him in the OF on a double switch if needed.

    This is the closest it gets to house money night. Their best starter versus our worst. We should win this series but the odds are against us tonight.

    Nah. Not with their bullpen. If it's within a few runs late, they are in huge trouble. I would say this is the closest they could get to the Yanks, but in Yankee Stadium the Yanks are still pretty good favorites to win tonight.

    Yeah he'll catch most of the games but certainly not all.

    Let me add too. in some games without Posada the the lineup looks pretty weak on paper. You will see Cervelli and the pitcher next. And in some cases Gardner Cervelli Pitcher.

    They are .258% team that is is .200% on the road. Their best SP is 3-5. They are on pace to challenge the mark for worst single season record. How exactly are the odds stacked against NYY?

    Lannan is actually a talented young lefty that the Yankees have never seen. Our starter hasn't survived 4 innings and has little idea where the ball is going.

    I could see Wang giving up 6-7 runs, Lannan giving up 2-3 and us coming up just short against their terrible bullpen.

    We can win, we should win, but it certainly won't be easy

    Lannan is also very bad against lefties (.968 OPS, .588 SLG). With Damon, Swisher, Tex, Cano, and Posada, we should do plenty of damage. I hope our switch hitters seen his splits and bat lefty, he's actually very hard on righties.

    They should rest Jorge on days CC pitches. I've heard he's a terrific hitting pitcher and I'm looking forward to see if the stories are true.

    I think everyone took your post in context to say Jorge wouldn't be playing.

    The pitcher will also be hitting for the opposition. Unless we are facing Micah Owings on the road trip I'm not that concerned. On days when Jorge is off Joe will have Matusi & Posda available to pinch hit. If Nady replaces Berroa sometime on thetrip, that'd be 3 pretty good PH options for the pitcher's spot.

    maybe we can put in Wang to pinch-run for Jorge if he gets on base in NL parks

    I think with our pitchers set to bat in 9 straight games we may see the first intentional strike out called from the bench by Girardi.

    With the amount of money we have invested in this rotation plus Jobas future. I would tell them to just stand in the batters box and then tell the opposing pitcher to just toss 3 strikes and move on. Obviously Im exagerating but nonetheless Im sure these next 9 games in NL parks will be keeping Joe and Cashman up at night.

    If he was playing for the Yankees last year he could have had 15 or more wins EASY.
