So...AJ finally has a good game yesterday, and Ozzie benches him in favor of Lucy, vs. a pitcher that AJ is 8-22 against lifetime...hmmmm.

 

Alexei leading off is rediculous. One walk all season. You might as well keep Pierre in the lead off spot if you're going to go that route. You get more extra-basehit potential but less speed....

Lucy's been Garcia's catcher - hasn't he?

 

Don't think so...AJ started the Twins game that Freddy pitched...I believe.

Lucy's been Garcia's catcher - hasn't he?

Garcia's made 3 starts this year, this will be the 2nd time Lucy's caught him. The 1 time Lucy caught him he lasted 3 innings and allowed 7 runs. In his 2 outings with AJ behind the plate he went for a total of 14 IP and posted an ERA of 2.57 with an opponent's line of .111/.231/.289/.520.

So, this move is a double-puzzler, then.

This has everything to do with Pettite starting. If a RHP were going for the Yankees, AJP would be catching and most likely Teahen leading off. AJ obviously has decent numbers against Pettite but I don't know how hard he's hit him, and an 0 fer could lead AJ down the path of slump again.

More changes to the lineup.

 

Andruw Jones is out because of back spasms.

 

They don't want Quentin playing the field because of his hamstring so it is Jayson Nix playing RF tonight.

 

Ramirez SS

Beckham 2B

Rios CF

Konerko 1B

Quentin DH

Teahen 3B

Nix RF

Lucy C

Pierre LF

 

Garcia P

Nix is 0 for 2 with a K vs Pettitte.

Nix in RF? This is bad. Very bad.

 

Why not Pierre LF, Rios CF, Quentin RF, Nix DH?

 

Q must still be hurting.

 

 

 

This has all the makings of the worst game of the year.

Oye...this looks bad. Oh well...ALMOST GAME TIME!!!!

 

NATTY LIGHT #1...officially open!

 

This has all the makings of the worst game of the year.

Fireworks in the Bronx tonight. Hope they don't let it set the tone for the remaining two games.

Saw the line-up and I thought it was a joke.

 

Second thought, hope Jones doesn't have Thome-esque issues and it doesn't end up lingering.

 

Who's our next option? Danks or Gartrell? I guess Kotsay would be playing against a RHP. Seems very dangerous to start Nix over Kotsay defensively, no matter how bad Kotsay has been hitting so far....Nix is more acclimated to playing LF, yes?

Wow the bottom of the order looks like ass...

 

The talent gap from the Sox to the best teams in the league has never seemed greater.

Who says this line-up sucks? Just hitting the piss out of it right now.

Back to back singles to start it out. Who woulda thought!?

Gotta get a run here...Don't roll over on the ball Paulie. Just like yesterday...hit er in the air.
