Coolstandings is awesome right now. They aren't that impressed by Baltimore (of course that run diff means smoke and mirrors, but still.)

New York    60  39  .606  -    480  393  96.4  65.6  90.1 5.4   95.6
Baltimore   52  48  .520  8.5  413  471  77.6  84.4  0.9  4.9   5.8
Tampa Bay   51  49  .510  9.5  412  405  80.9  81.1  2.3  13.9  16.3
Toronto	    50  49  .505  10   496  477  81.4  80.6  3.9  14.3  18.1

Not exactly an intimidating lineup:

1. Jeter SS
2. Granderson CF
3. Teixeira 1B
4. Cano 2B
5. Jones LF
6. Nix 3B
7. Martin DH
8. Suzuki RF
9. Stewart C

[jon abbey]

I bet if Boston was 3 games behind NY, Swisher would be DHing today.

[jon abbey]

Some ugly weather seems like it'll mess this one up.

Not exactly an intimidating lineup

Lineup history vs Lester

1. Jeter SS (56 plate appearances): .365 BA/.411 OBP/.423 SLG 1 home run, 5 RBIs, 3 walks, 11 strikeouts
2. Granderson CF (2) .261/.320/.391, 1 HR, 3 RBIs, 1 walk, 11 strikeouts
3. Teixeira 1B (41): .243/.317/.351, 1 double, 1 HR, 4 RBIs, 3 walks, 14 strikeouts
4. Cano 2B (51): .255/.294/.340, 4 doubles, 4 RBIs, 3 walks, 9 strikeouts
5. Jones LF (30): .318/.467/.455, 1 HR, 6 RBIs, 7 walks, 8 strikeouts
6. Nix 3B (16): .357/.438/.857, 1 double, 2 HR, 3 RBIs, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts
7. Martin DH (11): .286/.545/.286, 2 RBIs, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts
8. Suzuki RF (3): .276/.300/.483, 2 HR, 3 RBIs, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts
9. Stewart C (2): .000/.000/.000, 1 RBI, 1 strikeout

Nix and Jones has a bit of pop, but other than that not impressive history. Of course, this is a different Lester.

[jon abbey]

Rain delay.

[nycdoc999]

Rain delay.

Hoping for a rain out....

Get Swisher in the lineup and either Stewart or Martin out.

These Granderson and Suzuki PA numbers just can't be right.

[cromulence]

FOX is the absolute worst. I'm supposed to have the game. After the delay, I'm still watching Dodgers-Giants. Fuck.

[jon abbey]

You're not missing much so far.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Chris Stewart!

[jon abbey]

That Stewart HR broke the alltime club record for most HRs in the first 100 games of the season at 157, previously held by the Mantle/Maris 1961 team.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Fucking Sabathia. This game had reverse lock written all over it.

Thank God the Red Sox are still a million games out.

Edit: Not over yet!

[jon abbey]

Thought Lester got squeezed on those last two pitches to Martin.

[jon abbey]

This is a 'pitcher's duel' along the lines of that Sale/Darvish game a couple of nights ago.

[jon abbey]

Jesus, Jeter, you got a gift on 1-2, then you watched strike 3 a second time, then you still complained.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Goddamn Sterling called each of the last two pitches home runs, then changed it.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Hahahaha. Take that Padilla!

[jon abbey]

Suck on that, you ugly ugly motherfucker.

[cromulence]

GOD I wish I could watch this. Tex fucks Padilla again!

[priestvalon]

One does not simply walk into mordor

[jon abbey]

Girardi going for the kill with Soriano.

[jon abbey]

NY has lost the DH spot, Soriano is due up first in the bottom of the inning, so presumably we'll be seeing Swisher there.

[terrynever]

This Red Sox team desn't have a high baseball IQ

[jon abbey]

Well, that was ugly.

[ThePrideofShiner]

For those of us with no TV access, what happened? Granderson fell down?

[jon abbey]

For those of us with no TV access, what happened? Granderson fell down?

He didn't think it was hit as hard as it was, then he turned the wrong way and couldn't quite get it.

[jon abbey]

Yeah, he took a step in first, then he was screwed.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Well, this sucks. At least Teixeira homered off Padilla, I guess.

[terrynever]

Not over yet.

[jon abbey]

Welcome back, Nick.

[jon abbey]

Martin, get on base so Ichiro can tie this with a HR.

[jon abbey]

Ah well, always entertaining with these two teams.

[rembrat]

Suck it.

[EvilEmpire]

I figured rem would be good for at least 3 games. The magic is fading

[jon abbey]

Stewart's previous HR was when he was on SF, off Kershaw of all people.

[Guero]

I figured rem would be good for at least 3 games. The magic is fading

Too much Joe Girardi to combat the Rem luck. Joe thinks you have to reinvent the wheel every time you see a lefty.....ya know, like DH'ing your below the Mendoza line catcher. At least he didn't have an inning where he used 5 pitchers to record 2 outs.....

[jon abbey]

So what brave Yankee fan will start tonight's thread?
