Pregame Notes 19 September 2007

I've got to write an English paper and I'd like to get most of it done before game time, so I'll keep this short-n-sweet:

Yankees have already won this series against Baltimore, but a win tonight for the sweep coupled with Detroit having lost already means we are THAT much more secure in our playoff spot.

Pettitte is pitching tonight; he has not yet won in September and had a rough go of it at Fenway, though he was no doubt hurt by Giambi. Look for a strong bounce-back performance tonight.

Duncan has made his way in tonight's line up as the DH; it's great to see him finally getting some ABs.

Hopefully, Melky batting lead off will do well to keep his bat going.

Posada batting behind Rodriguez is extra protection, as A-Rod is in a mini-slump, and Matsui seems to be coming out of his slump at the right time.

Anyway, off to write paper. Nothing like religion in Victorian literature to get the intellect flowing!
