PREGAME NOTES:
- In case you were wondering, this is the third time the Yanks and Mets have played a day-night doubleheader in different yards on the same day. The Yanks swept the first two twin-bills back in 2000 and 2003.
- According to Pete Abe, Hideki Matsui is headed for the DL once Sidney Ponson is activated before Game 2. Looks like a good opportunity for Justin Christian [or, cough, Brett Gardner] to make a difference.
- Johnny Damon is out of the lineup in Game 1, but is expected to play in Game 2.
- Mike Pelfry has never faced the Yanks or any of their hitters.
Dan Giese has never faced the Mets or any of their hitters.
