Game 4: Yanks VS. Indians

Finally, this series comes to an end. Here’s the lineup (via PA):

YANKEES
Cabrera CF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez DH
Giambi 1B
Matsui LF
Ensberg 3B
Cano 2B
Molina C
Mussina RHP

I understand Girardi’s desire to give our guys enough opportunities to rest so that they don’t get worn down later on, but wasn’t all that endurance training during the spring meant to hold them over for the season (well, for most of it anyway)? Stability and routine are obviously important things to ballplayers and it would be nice to see the same lineup in there, especially when Damon is raking.

Mike Mussina is on the mound and I’m sure the Indians are happy to see anyone other than Chien-Ming Wang toeing the rubber. For those of you wondering about Jorge Posada, there’s nothing new on that front right now. However, Jorge did leave to see a specialist, Dr. James Andrews, this morning in order to find out what’s going on as soon as possible.

UPDATE (9:02) —  This guy no-hit the Yankees through 5 innings. Good god.
