Breaking down the Yankees line-up
options
 

Johnny Damon is hitting .238 this postseason. Mark Teixeira is hitting .205.

While we wait for the Phillies to meet with the media at 3:30, at which point we should have a better idea about their World Series roster, here's a look at how the Yankees line-up has broken down against left-handed and right-handed pitching, both during the regular season and the postseason.

    So what you're saying is... this team is not in fact indestructible/destined/perfect/infallible? That is not what the New York media told me. I feel misled.

    I did not read that they are infallible, but I did read that they are a team of destiny. I guess that changes everything.

    Too many numbers which is what almost got Giradi in trouble. Bottom line is if our top guys offset the Yanks top guys it comes down to lower half of each batting order coming through. I think our starters will hold their own and Yanks middle relief nothing to write home about. Rivera normally huge over Lidge except my hunch is we can get to him at least once. Lack of big lefty arm in Yank bullpen big plus. BTW, the Yankee bench not exactly Murder's Row. Phils in 5, maybe six.
