There’s a game on tonight? Oh right. Actually, this one could be pretty interesting, as fireballing lefty phenom Matt Moore is making his first career Major League start after a few appearances out of the bullpen.
This game means everything to the Rays, and is about as meaningless as can be to the Yankees. While I don’t generally condone hoping the Yankees lose under any circumstances, with regards to making things that much more interesting in the Wild Card race as we approach the season’s final six games, there could be worse things on earth than the Yankees dropping this one tonight.
Here’s your lineup, c/o BaseballPress.com:
1. Derek Jeter (R) SS
2. Eduardo Nunez (R) 2B
3. Mark Teixeira (S) DH
4. Nick Swisher (S) RF
5. Andruw Jones (R) LF
6. Jesus Montero (R) C
7. Jorge Posada (S) 1B
8. Brandon Laird (R) 3B
9. Greg Golson (R) CF

So… I didn’t get to watch the game, but going off of the box score… this Matt Moore kid is for real, huh?
GREAT, REALLY NICE CURVE AND FLUID MOTION AT 96MPH.. nice to see our kids get some time.. brackman looked good..montero was in control at the plate, no wild swings out of the zone..we need his bat in the playoffs. now lets rip the sux three games..
