The Pitching Schedule For First 2 Games

Tomorrow against Toronto: Brett Tomko will start followed by Kei Igawa, Christian Garcia, Mike Dunn, Dave Robertson, Dan Giese and Jose Veras. They will pitch in that order. Thursday against Tampa at home: Phil Hughes will start followed by Phil Coke, Brian Bruney, Damaso Marte, Jon Albaladejo and Mark Melancon. They will pitch in that order. The traveling roster for tomorrow will be this Derek Jeter,Arod, Robinson Cano, Justin Leone, Eduardo Nunez, Ramiro Pena, Cody Ransom and Kevin Russo. Those guys are the infielders. The Pitchers will be the guys you see above along with Steven Jackson and Anthony Claggett. The outfielders making the trip are Shelly Duncan, Colin Curtis, Brett Gardner, Austin Jackson, Todd Linden, John Rodriguez and Nick Swisher. The Catcher are Jesus Montero, Kevin Cash, P.J. Pilittere and Austin Romine. Arod will have his first chance to see the crowd reaction in enemy territory and this is what he said today about that: "I have had a lot of practice the last eight years." " Hopefully just get three good at bats, get some good running in and go home and have a nice dinner." When he was asked about the upcoming meeting with MLB he said he had no idea when it would be that he has heard the same thing the media has, probably they have heard more. He said he is just waiting to hear from somebody, maybe Jean, im not sure. No one knows if he meant Gene Orza the MLBPA official or Jean Afterman the Yankees assistant GM. One last note I forgot before is that relief pitcher Edwar Ramirez has mild bursitis in his shoulder and will be shut down for the next three days.
