Bickering Yankees @ Can’t hit for crap at the Trop Rays 5/16-5/17

[Tobywan]

Probables

Burnett VS Price
Nova VS Shields

Finally, the Yanks come to town. Burnett had a no decision in his last start against the Royals and only gave up a solo homer in 7 innings. Price got his 5th win against the Tribe allowing just 2 runs in 8 innings.

The Yankees were swept by the Red Sox, Rays lost their’s against the O’s over the weekend..

Matty J goes into the game tonight tied in hitting with Bautista. He is tough this season, after leaving the game Sat. night with cramps and getting some IV fluids he was back in the line up on Sunday and went 2 for 3 with a homer.. Jorge Posada was whining about being sent to the bottom of the line-up or a sore back depending on the source.
