Game 44. Rained out.

Today’s Yankee game was rained out. No makeup date scheduled yet.

Game 30. The lineup.

Yanks 18-11, 2nd, 1 1/2 GB of Boston in AL East. Two games better than their Pythagorean record. OPS+ 106, ERA+ 107 (100 is average).

BA/HR/RBI  SB/Total Att.   OPS+  and  Comments 

1. Gardner CF .265-3-13  4/6   98
2. Cano 2B .319-8-18  1/1  159   Yanks have HOFers Lazzeri and Gordon at the position, and Randolph was good, but is Cano the best they’ve ever had at 2B (Soriano only there 3 years). Leads 2013 Yanks in BA, HR, RBI
162 g. average .309-24-96, OPS+ 124.
3. Wells LF .284-6-13  2/2  126

9. Stewart C .275-2-4  1/1  100

Pettitte LHP  3-2, 3.86  ERA+ 106

Pettitte is looking for career win #249, which would tie him with HOFer Vic Willis on the all-time list.

Yankees off today.

The Yanks are off today. I’ll check on the minors late this evening.

Yanks PPD again.

So now the Yanks and Indians will have to find two games to reschedule in Cleveland, for they were ppd. again tonight.

Now for the Orioles.

Yanks rained out yesterday. Single game today.

The Yankees were rained out yesterday. No makeup date has been scheduled yet. Single game tonight at Cleveland.

Sorry for the delay. I’m back…

A breaker went in my house and I was w/out power to 1/3 of my home from Mond. night to Thurs. morning… and it affected my TV and computer. I’ll be catching up later… off to work.

Weather could play a factor tonight

Could the game tonight be ppd.? There is a good possibility. The forecast calls for rain in Baltimore tonight. That could eliminate the off-day on Tuesday and force the teams to play five games in five days, meaning CC may then have to come back on three days rest for a Game Five. If so, pitch count could play a big part in Game One.

UPDATE: The Yankees’ postseason roster has been announced.
