For the Orioles:

Felix Pie - LF

Gregg Zaun - C

Cesar Izturis - SS

Koji Uehara - P

For the Yankees:

Jeter - SS

Damon - LF

Teixeira - 1B

Posada - C

Cano - 2B

Ransom - 3B

Gardner - CF

Wang - P

That's basically the lineup I'd expect. I'd flip Zaun and Pie though. Place a switch hitter in between the two lefties. Not a big deal. But it also puts really good speed at 8,9,1, and 2.

Really looking forward to watching Koji.

[Jimbo81]

How many of us are going tonight?

I'll be there!

Agent Orange will be there!

Who else?

[Guest rbrhett]

I know Scott needs to get some playing time, but Wigginton has a lifetime .353 Avg against Wang. I would have liked to see him in there instead of Scott.

[OsStormers]

Anxious to see Uehara tonight.

LETS GO O's!

I'm doing a Live Game Recap on the front page tonight, if you're into that sort of thing.

[Bosibus]

Come on Koji!

[RVAbird]

I think Uehara is going to have to get used to the fact that major leaguers, especially Yankees, are going to take a lot of borderline pitches that might result in swings in Japan.

[SimplyZ]

So much for 200 walks in 1500 innings

hes 1 in 1ip now

[mrbig1]

You cats ready to go 2-0 to start the season? I can't hear you.

[J.D.]

Umm... why is our control pitcher throwing balls?

[TJ Wrangler]

Well I can definitely see the elbow lifting in Uehara's arm action so far.

[ledzepp8]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J.D.]

The boos aren't as loud today. That's disappointing.

[SimplyZ]

Decent boo session there...lets keep it up all season/career
