The Daily Yankeeland - 5/5

The Yankees are enjoying a beautiful day off today before starting a 3-game series with the Cleveland Indians at the Stadium. The Tribe took 2 of 3 last week when the two teams met at the "Jake".

Andy Pettitte faces Fausto Carmona on Tuesday. That will be followed by a match up of two hot pitchers, Chien-Ming Wang and Cliff Lee on Wednesday night. On Thursday, the series wraps up with a pair of wily veterans as Mike Mussina opposes Paul Byrd.

Kyle Farnsworth will have his 3-game suspension appeal heard on Tuesday. You would think they would do it on the Yankees day off.

Mike Puma of the NY Post
has a piece on the coming of age of Melky Cabrera.

Johnny Damon has reached base in 19 straight games, the longest streak this season.

Jason Giambi has worn his pant legs high the past two days, a la Doug Mienkiewicz, but says he'll only give it more game to try to turn his luck. Perhaps if he would stop pulling every pitch that might help too.
