Before the game, Girardi said that they had to treat every series like the playoffs from here on out. My question: Is he really going to lead off with Christian in left and leave Damon on the bench in game one of the playoffs (on the slim chance we make it)?!?

It really made no sense at all, Rev. Girardi over analyzes way too much. A lefty is pitching, that means he must sit all of his lefties!
