Rays at Yanks

The Yankees will try to avoid their second straight sweep by getting a win tonight with Andy Pettitte on the mound. The Yankees didn't lose 5 straight all of last year and will try to avoid doing that tonight. The Yankees really need to hit Niemann and give Petitte something to work with as they have been completely shut down other then one swing of the bat the last 2 games. This offense needs a jolt and will get one tomorrow when A-rod joins the team as the Yankees officially announced that around 5:00PM, I am guessing he will meet them in Baltimore but wonder if he will be in NY tonight for the game, that would bring a nice jolt to the team also. It will be great to have the cleanup hitter back and at least with the Manny news they won't be hounding him as much. I bet Tex is breathing a sigh of relief as he needs some protection. Here is the Yankees lineup: Jeter(SS) Damon(LF) Tex(1B) Matsui(DH) Cano(2B) Swisher(RF) Cabrera(CF) Pena(3B) Molina(C) The game is at 7:00pm on YES.
