Jays at Yankees

UPDATE: 7:10PM- Jorge Posada has been suspended 3 games and is serving his suspension starting tonight. Shelly Duncan also got 3 games and is appealing. The New York Yankees finish their 2 game series with the Jays tonight after an exciting night last night. They also conclude their 10 game homestand which they are 6-3 on. The Yankees would like to get a win to make it 7 out of 10 on a pretty good homestand and fly out west for 6. The Yankees enter tonight with a 6 1/2 game lead on the Red Sox for first in the AL east and 6 on Anaheim for homefield advantage. The Sox and Angels will meet in Fenway tonight in game 2 of their 3 game series. Boston won last night behind a strong performance from the returning Dice K. Here are the pregame notes and lineup. Jorge Posada has been suspended 4 games and fined $30,000 by MLB. Jesse Carlson also got the same for the Blue Jays. Jorge is sitting out tonight with a sore neck, he should just take the 4 games now and get it over with. Cervelli can catch a couple of games and Molina also and they will be fine. The Yankees are 3-0 in Chad Gaudins starts and he has a 2.57 era in those starts. He last appeared on Sept 8th when he went 6 solid innings against Tampa Bay. The Yankees will be seeing Brian Tallett for the 5th time this season. He has a 5.00 era against the Yankees. They last saw him on Sept 6th when he allowed 5 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings. Mariano Rivera needs one strikeout for 1,000 in his career. Nick Swisher is 11 of 31 on the homestand with 10 runs scored, 6 xbh and 4 rbi's with 5 walks. Mark Teixeira has tripled in back to back games. His last triple before that was in Aug of 2007. This is what makes baseball so great, it is so weird and you just have no idea what you may see from game to game.
