Yankees vs. Padres - June 18

Hopefully the rains won't interrupt/cancel tonight's game. Looks like it should just be passing through as it did earlier. We want Joba on the hill tomorrow when we go.

Darrell Rasner looks to bounce back from that horrible outing in Oakland and snap his personal 4 game winning streak. He could conceivably be 5-2 considering the lack of run support he's gotten in his 7 starts. The Padres ace Jake Peavy goes against him in his second start since returning from a stint on the disabled list.

Here's tonight's Yankees lineup from Peter Abraham. Hideki Matsui gets a night off.

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

Rasner has never faced any of the Padres, while Peavy pitched against the Yankees back in 2004. Of course he has faced some of them, such as Bobby Abreu, when they were on other teams.

Yankees vs. Peavy

Abreu 3-10 1 RBI
Betemit 1-12 (strange choice for the lineup)
Jeter 0-3
Moeller 3-8 2 RBI
Molina 0-3
