Good lineup today, only part I hate is Matsui vs a ground ball pitcher in Millwood.

Joba Chamberlain(2-1, 3.70 ERA) vs Kevin Millwood(4-4, 3.12 ERA)
Game is at 8 on My9

Update 7:08 PM: From the Associated Press(AP)
New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada played three innings of defense during a simulated game Tuesday in Tampa.
Sidelined since straining his right hamstring while sliding in a game against Boston May 4, also batted in the simulated game. The five-time AL All-Star threw to second from behind the plate and ran the bases after the game.
Outfielder Xavier Nady (right elbow ligament) and infielder Cody Ransom (right quadriceps) also batted.

Manager Joe Girardi also spoke to Pete Abraham and he said that Posada will play again tomorrow and seems to be getting closer. There are no plans for him to play rehab games with any affiliates.
He also told Pete that Catcher Jose Molina that he is behind Posada in his rehab program. Pete asked Girardi if he was thinking about keeping Cervelli on the roster after they come back, and he said they would consider it. Jorge and OF Xavier Nady could play in a minor league game this week.
Thanks to Pete Abraham for the update
Update 8:08 PM: Rain approaching Arlington Ballpark and we have a Rain Delay.
Update 9:45 PM: Still Rain Delay, game will probably start around 10-10:30 PM. I wont be posting anymore about the game until tommorow(either morning or PM).
Update 10:08 PM: Game will start with first pitch at 1030 PM. Thanks to Pete for the information.
