David Dellucci is on deck for Wells. Something must be wrong with the starting pitcher. Dellucci will bat after a Boone single with two out in the 2nd.

Update: Dellucci grounds out to Penny. Contreras is coming in to pitch. I wonder if this is the old strat-o-matic switch, where you start a lefty so the opponent will start a certain lineup, then bring in the righty after one to screw that up. Probably not. The Marlins always use the same lineup.

Update: Replays show Wells in pain in the first. Of course, if was pitching that well while hurting, why not leave him in? :-)

Update: The Yankees lost a lot here. They used Dellucci as a pinch-hitter, so they lost him as a pinch-runner/defensive replacement for late in the game. They are going to need to use the bullpen extensively, especially with Contreras having pitched yesterday. Could they bring in Andy Pettitte at some point, start Mussina Saturday and Clemens Sunday on short rest?

Update: Contreras is wild. With two out, he's walked Lowell, and then walked Lee (he almost took Lee's head off). He thrown 19 pitches, 12 of them balls.

Update: Alex Gonzalez drives one up the gap in right center for a ground rule double and his 2nd RBI in as many AB. Brad Penny follows with a single to drive in two, and the Marlins lead 3-1 in the bottom of the 2nd.

Update: Contreras has nothing. He walks Pierre to put men on 1st and 2nd.

Update: Castillo strikes out to end the inning, and didn't look good doing it. Yankees are in a mess of trouble right now.
