Here's some pre-game info. Spoke with Alex Rodriguez earlier this afternoon. He's aiming to play Tuesday. He will stay here this weekend when the Yankees leave and probably play in some rehab games. He's feeling pretty good, wants to get back into games but said he has to be smart about it.
Goose Gossage, who had some critical comments about Joba Chamberlain's emotional reactions on the mound, called Joba today to give Joba his side. They're cool now, no hard feelings.
Otherwise, not too much from pre-game. Pretty quiet for once. Joe Girardi caught Andrew Brackman -- who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. That's about all the excitement.

Interesting news, J.B. Cox up to SWB and Mark Melancon up to Trenton.
It's kind of hard to watch the Yankees decay to this level. Like the sinking of a great ship. They decayed off the field as well. US$ 200 million should buy a lot more depth, youth and esprit de corps. But maybe you can't buy a good team anymore. Look at Colorado. Look at Tampa Bay.
But with a few bold moves the Yanks could get right back into it.
I still don't know where all these great minor league arms are?
When do we see Horne, Brackman the Rehabber and Melancon and Sanchez and the others?
If we miss the playoffs this year, and the dead wood (including Cashman) is let go, maybe they can really rebuild.
Ant Colony,
Didn't you hear? Brackman is pitching for the Rays right now. He's going to be their closer since Percival blew the save tonight.
Why do you bother asking questions if you're gonna ignore the response?
Some dude gave a good thorough rundown of each of those arms you asked about and now you're asking the same stupid question again a few days later.
Other people have answered that question too and you ignore them.
Are you retarded or something?
