    Soooooo. Gardner is taking live BP today and says he is 100%. I wonder if they have been holding him out to see if he can hit.

    Gardner, Granderson, Ichiro in the outfield with Swisher at first, depending on Tex. :o

    Don't get your hopes up but that would be a bit of a boost.

    I just don't know what the lineup would look like? I guess move Ichiro up to the 2 spot especially how hot he is right now.

    1) Jeter
    2) Ichiro
    3) Cano
    4) A-Rod
    5) Granderson
    6) Ibanez/Dh
    7) Swisher
    8) Martin
    9) Gardener

    Well, doesn't thrill me, but if we get good pitching...

    Wonder what happens when Tex comes back if Gardner is activated.

    Maybe DH Swisher and sit Ibanez, although i would like to DH Tex until i know he's better.

    Yeah.

    Swisher has filled in very nicely at 1B for Tex but defensively he's obviously not Tex.

    Yeah, I don't know. I'd go with something like this. Maybe Swisher 2nd (?) and put a shit load of speed at the bottom. I'd be nervous keeping Ichiro 2nd unless he can keep this up.

    I'd also imaigne Tex will DH a bit especially early to make sure they don't lose him again.

    Straight double header for Baltimore. Toronto is terrible, but would be nice to have them blow through pitchers today.

    Pretty wild they are playing a straight double header. Yankees would never even consider losing a gate. Don't see that much anymore.

    Who knows? Too many players is never a problem to have. :lol: Just got to get them all healthy and most importantly winning these ballgames out the rest of the year. I do not want to see a wild card. That whole one game thing scares the shit out of me.

    Agreed, Gardner potentially coming back is not a bad thing but could make for some tough decisions. For one thing, I really hope Jones doesn't make the post season roster. I would imagine Ibanez may have secured his spot Saturday.

    Nah, I really don't want the Wild Card game either. That would suck.

    Ya, Jones has done nothing in the second half. First half i thought who would give up on this guy? not even that old :fp:

    The day that Ichiro had 7 hits they mentioned a stat...I don't remember exactly what it was but Ichiro had more hits that day than Jones had in a month I think it was.

    Looks like Ardsma is going to be activated. Hopefully it turns into a nice find by Cashman.
