Game 1: Yanks VS. Tigers

PA provides the lineup:

Damon CF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Matsui LF
Giambi DH
Duncan 1B
Ensberg 3B
Cano 2B
Stewart C
Hughes RHP

Even without A-Rod or Jorge, that’s a good lineup. Chris Britton has been optioned back to AAA and Edwar Ramirez has been recalled.

Also, the AP has an update on Harlan Chamberlain, who has been discharged from the hospital and is feeling a lot better (great news).

UPDATE (7:15) — 10 minutes into the game and Hughes has already given up 2 runs. Well, I guess that’s what happens when you walk the leadoff hitter. You can blame Damon on Polanco’s run but come on, everyone knows he doesn’t have a good arm. By by having him at CF you’re just asking for people to run.
