Opening Day Live Blog

At long last the first game of the season is nearly here, and I'll be posting through the whole thing. To start, here are the lineups:

Yankees
1. Johnny Damon - LF
2. Derek Jeter - SS
3. Bobby Abreu - RF
4. Alex Rodriguez - 3B
5. Jason Giambi - 1B
6. Robinson Cano - 2B
7. Jorge Posada - C
8. Hideki Matsui - DH
9. Melky Cabrera - CF
Pitcher: Chien-Ming Wang

Blue Jays
1. David Eckstein - SS
2. Shannon Stewart - LF
3. Alexis Rios - RF
4. Vernon Wells - CF
5. Frank Thomas - DH
6. Lyle Overbay - 1B
7. Aaron Hill - 2B
8. Marco Scutaro - 3B
9. Greg Zaun - C
Pitcher: Roy Halladay

It's very interesting to see Cano get bumped up the lineup over Posada and Matsui, especially considering Posada's fantastic season last year. Joe Girardi obviously thinks highly of Cano, and isn't afraid to show it.

Update 12:15PM: Well, it's pretty ugly out and the tarp is on the field. Assuming that they get this game going, it's going to be a cold one.

Update 2:45PM:Looks like we'll have to wait a day to start the season. Check back here tomorrow night for the Opening Day live blog version 2.0.
