The Yankees scratched Xavier Nady from the lineup before Wednesday's Florida finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. Nady was hit on the elbow with a pitch on Tuesday, and when swelling persisted, Manager Joe Girardi scratched the starting right fielder for precautionary reasons. Nick Swisher is in the lineup instead.
Meanwhile, as expected, designated hitter Hideki Matsui is in the lineup. He had a stiff neck.
Also, word out of Nebraska that Joba Chamberlain has pleaded guilty to drunken driving. He'll get probation. Closer Mariano Rivera got permission to leave camp a day early, a nice veteran courtesy. Like Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men," I think he's earned it.
Oh, happy April 1st, fools.
