Yanks/Red Sox Matchups

The Yankees and Red Sox will play a brief 2 game series beginning tomorrow weather permitting. Here are the pitching matchups Monday- Jon Lester Vs Phil Hughes Tuesday- Josh Beckett vs Joba Chamberlain The Yankees said that Hughes and Chamberlain have pitched well and they didn't want to skip them so they just pushed everyone back a day with today's rainout. The Yankees placed Marte on the DL but he said it is the same problem from spring training that never went away and Brian Bruney said he isn't coming back May 10th that it will be longer, he didn't play catch today and was told not tomorrow either. The Yankees have lost what started out as their 8th inning guys and now they are trying to string it together. I know a lot of people are hoping for this but it is looking more possible that if Hughes continues to pitch well and these guys are injured and the bullpen continues to be bad that Joba will go back to the pen, of course Hughes has to keep it up and Wang has to come back strong so it is still a ways away before it becomes a really good question. A-rod is expected to go 7 innings tomorrow in the field and he should be back by Friday which will be a real boost to this lineup especially Big Tex who could use his protection.
