Andy Pettitte is back; so is Nick Swisher, but for the other guys. Lyle Overbay is still a Yankee and he’s playing in right field for the first time in his career (Brennan Boesch was optioned back to Triple A). Rain is in the forecast again…
1. Brett Gardner CF
2. Robinson Cano 2B
3. Mark Teixeira 1B
4. Travis Hafner DH
5. Lyle Overbay RF
6. Ichiro Suzuki LF
7. David Adams 3B
8. Reid Brignac SS
9. Austin Romine C
Never mind last week:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Thanks Bourn, a one pitch out.
Nice hand for Nick.
Go ahead and lay one down, Brett.
Bases loaded. No out. Egads.
Well the salami always works. Yay, Teix!
BIG TEX!!!
really needed that...
Dang, I step out to pour a drink and I miss that.
Ouchir
total bollocks.
Jeez
I missed the Teix Message!
But what's up with [9,10,11]? Got Heat-Pacers Game 7 on so need Banter play-by-play for Yanks game, please. :)
I've really never been particularly impressed with Masterson. I'd like to start hitting him now.
[12] Will try. Doing some channel flipping. Indians lost their SS to a right quad injury.
GRITTY!!!
why did masterson cut that off?
[13] Bat Masterson! [snorf]
[12] Dude, Yankees had a nice 4-1 lead (thanks to a Tex salami) with Andy cruising, then the wheels came off. Bunt hit. Gutsy tag-up run on short fly. Couple of walks. Hit and Andy is done. Then they miraculously get it back a couple of innings later, thanks to some luck, screw-ups by Bat Masterson and timely two-out hitting by Grittner.
Da Pronx Bomber!!!
Nice homer Pronk.
I wish just once, Michael Kay would say before a homer, "If it's a fair ball, I'M gone." And then retire.
Mo time.
Hmmm, possibly safe at first.
Where the hell was that pitch, blue?
All rise. Praise be to Mo.
I love you, Mo!!!
All praise to Mo.
Our Mo, who art in the bullpen.
Hollowed be thy name.
Thy greatness come.
Thy saves be done.
On the mound and in the field.
Give us this day our daily win.
And forgive our errors as we for give those who err.
Lead us not into the loss column
But deliver us to the World Series
For you are the greatest closer, our power and our glory for ever and ever (at least until the end of this season).
[26] Jesus, that should be "Hallowed". Please forgive, me, Mo.
[29] The opposing batters feel a little hollow when they hear his name.
Nice Yankee win, hopefully the tilt has been corrected.
[28] - BRILLIANT!!!
