ESPN: Alex Rodriguez could drop in order

http://espn.go.com/n...odriguez-lineup

In what will be a pivotal Game 3 on Wednesday, the Yankees will face Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez, whom Rodriguez has never faced. Making any lineup change, though, might be difficult because several of Rodriguez's teammates have not had success against Gonzalez, who is 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season.

Wonder where Mr. May will bat?

[mweb08]

This isn't about ARod not being clutch or whatever, it's about him no longer being that good. In their lineup, he should bat about 7th.

[BobPhelan]

Huge swing game. I'm amped already.

[Mackus]

The former NL-ers (Reynolds, McLouth, Hardy) are the only ones with more than 2 games worth of PAs against Kuroda on the roster. All three have really struggled, though only Reynolds has enough PAs to really garner any amount of an idea on how he may fare tonight.

Gotta think it's the typical RHP lineup tonight, right? McLouth, Hardy, Davis, Jones, Wieters, Thome, Reynolds, Flaherty, Machado

Maybe swap Thome and Reynolds in the order? Any chance Andino stays in over Flaherty?

One of the lefties is finding the RF seats tonight.

I'm feeling a Hungry Jim homer tonight. Call it a hunch.

You heard it here first!

[BobPhelan]

I'm feeling an offensive outburst tonight.

I told my son the same thing.....I think we get Kuroda tonight.
Chris Davis also going deep.
Let's go O's.

Oh, and Angel Hernandez the RF umpire at Yankee Stadium... is this on purpose? I mean, seriously.

[Adam Wolff]

PUMPED boys, let's do this.

[You Play to Win the Game]

O's fans, somewhere, just lost their minds because Cal just called A-Roid by his first name.

[Adam Wolff]

I'd like to dedicate this to the Yankees. Get in the ring!

I'm so sick of TBS feeding Yankees Love for Cal to say...he seriously can't have much good to say about A-Roid.

[fishteacher]

That's it, Hiroki, keep hanging pitches in the middle of the plate.

[Chris B]

Get him in!

[Adam Wolff]

That's a start!
