The Yankees have the Big Man on the hill tonight going up against highly touted rookie Kyle Drabek. The Yankees can at times struggle against lefties, but CC Sabathia owns the Blue Jays. They can clinch with a win tonight or if the White Sox beat the Red Sox.
Here are some notes:
- CC is starting tonight only because the Yankees didn’t clinch last night. Otherwise he would have started on Friday.
- Despite his poor performance, A.J. Burnett expects to start in the playoffs.
- Speaking of A.J., Jorge Posada is upset because he thinks he should be catching Burnett to prepare for the playoffs.
- Finally, Yankee playoff tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10:00 am.
At this point I’ll settle for the Yankees backing into the playoffs, but they need to start clicking on all cylinders again. Most of the team is healthy; there should be no excuses for losing. Locking up a playoff spot tonight, no matter how they do it, would give them more time to rest their regulars.
