Lineups to follow.......

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Tough assignment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rick2583]

All depends which Zack Grienke shows up tonight, he hasn't been anywhere near the pitcher he was last season. Also the offensive starved Yankees this year having to eliminate the DH has gotta hurt.

 

[Lillie]

The Yankees have called up Rob Refsnyder as per The Yes Network.

 

[Rick2583]

Who was sent down to make room?

Who was sent down to make room?

Don't know yet Rick. I'll post it when I find out.

 

[yankeesince59]

...my guess would be Green, Mullee, or Coke.

 

[Rick2583]

Well considering the way both Coke & the kid Green pitched last night, that would be likely.

 

[Lillie]

...my guess would be Green, Mullee, or Coke.

You are correct Ron.... Conor Mullee and Chad Green optioned to Triple A, Phil Coke designated for assignment and Refsnyder, Luis Cessa, and James Pasos called up.

 

[yankeesince59]

...thanx Diamond Lil...Cashman is grasping at straws at this point.

 

[Rick2583]

I've also read that A-Roid is expected back for the A's series.

 

[Lillie]

A-Roid will be back in the Lineup on Friday Rick. I'm sure your looking forward to it.

 

[Rick2583]

Tonight's starting lineup...........

CF - Ellsbury (259)
LF - Gardner (241)
1B - Teixeira (218)
C - McCann (276)
2B - Castro (277)
3B - Headley (202)
SS - Gregorius (237)
RF - Hicks (206)
P - Pineda

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^ Wow, Castro leading the way at .277.

...maybe Pineda can pick up the offense with his bat.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Note to Pineda: The Rays beat the shit out of Toronto again today. I know you'll do your very best to fail to live up to your own miserable standards and pitch your team deeper into last place. You pice of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Messiah717]

Pineda is complete garbage. 6.60ERA now and headed to 1-5.

 

[Rick2583]

This pitching staff really sucks.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Just read the River Avenue Blues game recap. lot of sloppy Yankees out there last night. Many of them with whom some board members need to be gone. Awful funny, Ellsbry & Tex come back, the team starts losing, and the druggist is due back as well. Pineda said he had to "do better" no shit Sherlock. Pretty sad that the home team had lost 7 in a row in their home park until the Yankees arrived. Come on tadpoles, sell the team.
