Rangers at Yankees

The Yankees will start a 7 game homestand tonight starting with the Texas Rangers and then they will play 4 against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees just took 2 of 3 in Texas last week, they have won 25 of their last 36 against Texas. Derek Jeter will try and extend his hitting streak to 16 games and Big Tex to 15. Derek Jeter will also be looking to get a run scored for 1,500 in his career. He would be the fourth Yankee in history to accomplish that. I guess this is the all Derek Jeter notebook, he has batted 341 in the first inning. He has hit safely in 9 of the last 11 games leading off. He has reached base safely in 11 of his last 16 leadoff oppurtunities. The Yankees will try and extend their record errorless streak to 19 straight games. The Rangers are first in the majors with 83 homeruns and the Yankees are second with 80 and Yankee stadium has given up the most so expect some fireworks in this series. A-rod is 3 homeruns away from tying Reggie Jackson for 11th on the alltime homerun list. Yankees lineup: Jeter(SS) Damon(LF) Tex(1B) A-rod(3B) Cano(2B) Posada(C) Matsui(DH) Cabrera(RF) Gardner(CF)
