With Chien-Ming Wang, almost-ace, on the hill, this should be a win anyway. However, with the likelihood that Johan Santana will win his start and because the Yankees can't afford losses, tonight must bring a win.
Hopefully, Joe Torre sticks with this lineup of Damon, Cabrera and Jeter at the top, even if Alex Rodriguez has to miss any time with the injury (though not tonight, apparently). We know Damon can hit leadoff, we know Cabrera hit well last year up high, and Jeter's got a solid, if short, history hitting third. It's really like Torre finally woke up to what fans (including some here) have been talking about for a while.
By the way, I saw a statistic (and sadly, can't remember the link), that said Scott Proctor had pitched in 123 of the team's last 239 games. I mean, seriously, that's insane.
