Starting Lineup Announced...If They Play (Update: They Won't)

It's just misting right now...but there is a 100% chance of rain tonight. Yes, 100% chance. So it's going to rain. If the game is played tonight, here is the lineup announced by Joe Girardi:

1. Derek "El Capitan" Jeter SS
2. Johnny "Simply Demonic" Damon LF
3. "You're on the Mark" Teixeira 1B
4. "An A-Bomb for" A-Rod 3B
5. "Hip, Hip" Jorge Posada C
6. Hideki "The Soyanara Kid" Matsui DH
7. Robinson Cano "Don't You Know" 2B
8. Nick "Swishalicious" Swisher RF
9. Melky "The Melkman Delivers" Cabrera

So as in Game 4, we have Posada and Matsui flip-flopping. Swisher stays in the lineup but moves down to 8th. This moves hopefully will tempt some more Darren Oliver time with 2 lefties in a row (and 5 if you consider switch hitters).

Whether they play is another question. Will update as we know more.

Update 4:50 PM: @YankeesWeather Gates are opening on time at 5:00pm. So there we have it. They'll at least open up the gates and hope to start on time. It's going to be wet today at the New Yankee Stadium. Hope for seats with cover if you're going.

Update 6:05 PM: Game 6 has been postponed until tomorrow with a possible Game 7 on Monday. Both games would be at 7:57 PM.
