Game 1: Yanks VS. Indians
May 6, 2008, 5:56 pmAndy Pettitte gets the start and here’s the lineup (courtesy of PA):
Johnny Damon
Derek Jeter
Bobby Abreu
Hideki Matsui (14-game hitting streak)
Jason Giambi
Melky Cabrera
Robinson Cano
Wilson Betemit (activated from the DL, no word yet on the move)
Jose Molina
The top of the order is particularly hot (note the red, yay colors!). The Indians counter with their own version of Chien-Ming Wang (except not as good) in Fausto Carmona. The Yankees are going into this series with a 3-game winning streak intact, and with a win tonight, a 5-game streak could be very likely, especially with Wang on the mound tomorrow.
If you’re trying to kill time before the game, check out this hilarious read. Apparently, Alex Rodriguez fainted while his wife was delivering his child (talk about not being clutch). I love how A-Rod manages to embarrass himself (unintentionally) every single season.
cano with an rbi single. coming out of it?
dear god i hope so he is my fav yankee
if he can get one more hit it would do wonders for his confidence.
