CC Sabathia will take the hill, and hopefully we see the pitcher we know CC can and will be, as so far he hasn't been ace-like at all. The big guy has the 3rd worst ERA out of the 5 Yankee starters, which doesn't sound bad until you realize the worst two are Freddy Garcia and Phil Hughes.

Eduardo Nunez doesn't sound right as the team's DH. But it really came down to either him or Raul Ibanez, and Raul's far from a sure-thing against left-handed pitchers (they are facing Derek Holland). And since Nunez isn't know for his strong defense, DHing is probably the best way to go.

Just goes to show you the importance of Brett Gardner to this team.
