    Welcome to June, ladies! :breakdance:

    The Yanks had a pretty brutal first two months of the season, playing some of the top teams in the league and spending more time on the road than anyone else in the division (I think... last I checked, anyway).

    While the Yanks will still spend more time on the road than at home (18 home games compared to 19 road games before the break), the next two months find the Yanks spending much of their time feasting on the dregs of baseball. We'll be seeing quite a bit of the Mariners, Royals, Indians, Orioles, and D-Backs, and only a smattering of games against actual contenders.


    Tuesday
    Javier Vazquez, RHP (3-5, 6.86)
    vs.
    Brian Matusz, LHP (2-5, 5.76)

    Wednesday
    Phil Hughes, RHP (6-1, 2.70)
    vs.
    Brad Bergesen, RHP (3-3, 5.96)

    Thursday
    CC Sabathia, LHP (4-3, 4.16)
    vs.
    Kevin Millwood, RHP (0-5, 3.89)

    Burnett and Andy stepped up big to give the BP some much needed rest. Let's keep it up vs. Balt.

    Ugh, another Vagquez game. I'm ready for another stinker. Maybe I'll play a video game and "enjoy" the verbal diarrhea from Sterling and Waldman rather than rape my eyeballs.

    The series this weekend was the great with Paul O'Neill. God damn I wish he would do more games, I find him very hilarious...especially b/c he makes fun of Kay.

    Honestly, I prefer Sterling to Kay. At least Sterling knows he's an idiot. Kay just thinks he knows everything, but is athletically stupid.

    Paulie is awesome. They should have Singleton lead with O'Neill and Leiter as the on-air team.

    The whole Kay's cap size bit was hilarious.

    Looks like a real lineup will be there tonight:

    Jeter SS
    Swisher RF
    Teixeira 1B
    ARod 3B
    Cano 2B
    Thames DH
    Cervelli C
    Granderson CF
    Russo LF

    Personally, given that queasy Vag is on the mound tonight, I'd put in Gardner in left, just to give him every chance to have a 25 run lead to blow. I like Russo though, so it's nice to see him play again today. It looks like the Yankees are serious about giving him a chance to play. Pena really blew his shot.

    As much as I was in favor of bringing Miranda up to DH, I'm actually glad to see Thames get the start tonight. While I can't stomach Thames in the field, he can hit the ball.

    Anyway, that's the deepest lineup we've had in weeks. It's nice that guys are starting to get healthy again. I wonder if they'll get this game in. Scattered t-storms making their way in.

    Alio,

    It's starting to look nasty here (Florham Park, NJ) but I was just outside looking @ the clouds and they are moving fast.

    If they do get delayed I don't think it will be for long.

    I like the cut of your jib, jonnyd. You don't freak out over a handful of games/starts.

    if Granderson can keep up what he's done since coming off the DL, he's going to have a scary-good season
