E-Boland and the Bombers

Here's the lineup on a rainy day in Detroit. Rainy enough that there's a decent chance this game will not be played today. If it is, though, Derek Jeter is batting cleanup for the second time in his career. That got some ribbing for the captain, who hit his first home run of the season yesterday. Joe Girardi said Jeter would have been hitting fourth even if he didn't homer yesterday. He wanted to give Hideki Matsui a day off, and was trying to avoid stacking the lefthanded hitters too much.
