Happy St. Patrick's Day

Top o' the early afternoon to ya. We're back after what seemed like endless days of sleep, coughing, sleep, sneezing, sleep..you get the picture. And a lot has happened in those 5 days so we'll try to get you coughed caught up.

The Yankees have their first meeting with the Red Sox today in Tampa. The game is on YES, but there's no radio coverage whatsoever. WABC will be carrying 7 games this spring. Why exactly are they waiting until what seems like the last week of spring training?

Here are today's lineups and probable pitchers, courtesy of Peter Abraham:

YANKEES
Damon LF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Giambi 1B
Posada C
Matsui DH
Cano 2B
Betemit 3B
Cabrera CF

Pitching
Pettitte
Albaladejo
Traber
Philips

RED SOX
Lugo SS
Pedroia 2B
Ortiz DH
Youkilis 1B
Lowell 3B
Varitek C
Ellsbury CF
Carter LF
Moss RF

Pitching
Colon
Tavarez
Lopez
Hansen

It will be interesting to see how Colon does today and going forward. He's been hitting 94 mph on the radar gun. If he remains healthy, his acquisition will be huge (pun very much intended).
