--------------Welcome to the live blog-------------

The New York Yankees lived for another day. No, they did not get the win, instead Mother Nature interrupted a possible elimination and gave them an extra 24 hours of life in the playoffs.

Some fans might describe it as torture as they watch their Yankees play like an expansion team. They have been getting no production and their superstar players have been struggling. 

Alex Rodriguez continues to absorb all the attention from the media while Joe Girardi continues to cut into his playing time.

So, let me get this straight. Girardi claims to be sitting A-Rod because of the Tigers' power pitching, yet, his replacement Eric Chavez is 0-14 with six strikeouts in the postseason. 

I don't know Joe, maybe you really did not want A-Rod in the lineup because he was "hollering at some shorties" in a game you decided to bench him. 

The lineup from Wednesday's postponed Game 4 will be the same as today's lineup against the Tigers' Max Scherzer, who is correctly labeled as a right handed power pitcher, therefore explaining why Alex will not be in the lineup again. 

CC Sabathia will take the mound for the Yankees and Jim Leyland, the Tigers' skipper, will make one player change to his lineup in adding Avisail "Mini Miggy" Garcia to their lineup where he will play right field in substitution for lefty Andy Dirks. 

The first pitch will be thrown a little after 4 p.m. ET/3 p.m. CT.
