Lineups for game 4: Posada/Matsui swapped

The Yankees have made a minor move in the batting order tonight. Due to the lefty Scott Kazmir pitching, Joe Girardi has swapped Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui. This has Posada protecting Alex Rodriguez.

Here are the rest of the lineups:

Yankees lineup:	Angels lineup:
Derek Jeter SS	Chone Figgins 3B
Johnny Damon LF	Bobby Abreu RF
Mark Teixeira 1B	Torri Hunter CF
Alex Rodriguez 3B	Vladimir Guerrero DH
Jorge Posada C	Juan Rivera LF
Hideki Matsui DH	Howie Kendrick 2B
Robinson Cano 2B	Kendry Morales 1B
Nick Swisher RF	Mike Napoli C
Melky Cabrera CF	Erick Aybar SS

I like the looks of the Yankees’ lineup, but unfortunately, I am scared of the Angels’ lineup. Morales hitting seventh? Napoli, the Yankee-killer, behind him? This will be no easy task for CC Sabathia.

Good move by swapping Matsui and Posada. Posada, a switch hitter, will protect A-Rod. The Angels will think twice to walk A-Rod because Posada is batting next. My concern is there will be 2 left handed hitters (Matsui and Cano) batting 6th and 7th. With the lefty Kazmir, this might spell some trouble. Gotta have some offense at the bottom of the order!

We are definitely getting killed at the bottom of the order...

Did you see how the Commisioners office ran with that bull**** about Mo, what a joke, it was off some clown blogger, Halo's Heaven's site...

The only guy is dirty, as both a player and a manager is Scoscia the scumbag and his Bush League tactics...
