As per Pete Abraham, below are tonight’s starting lineups. I will miss most of the game since my wife and I are going out to see the new Johnny Depp movie, “Public Enemies.” She’s a big Depp fan and, were it not for her working late last night, which was opening night, we would have gone then. It looks good and, as long as I can eat popcorn, I’m good regardless. Cervelli starts for Posada, catching Sabathia who has the chance to notch the Yanks’ eighth straight win, and the Crazy Stein. I like their chances, and hopefully Cano can become productive again in the five-slot. Enjoy the game, and Let’s Go, Yankees!
