Yanks-Blue Jays Live-Blog Part 2 and Hot Dog Contest

Happy July 4th Everyone! It's another day of afternoon baseball here as I'll be live-blogging a pair of events. First, I'll be here for the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which will take place at 12 on ESPN. Then, I'll chat for the Yankees-Jays game at 1:00. Chien-Ming Wang will search for his second straight win, after throwing 5.1 solid innings against the Mets last Sunday. However, his task will not be easy, as his opposing starter will be Roy Halladay. Halladay is making his second start since coming off the DL. He allowed 2 runs in 6 innings vs. Tampa on Monday. He also through a complete game against the Yanks on May 12, out-dueling AJ Burnett.

Here's the Yankees line-up this afternoon, they enter the game just 2 back of Boston:
Jeter SS
Damon LF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Cano 2B
Posada C
Matsui DH
Cabrera RF
Gardner CF

Guess Posada's thumb is feeling a little bit better.

I'll be back here at about 12:00 with the live-blog below. Until then, enjoy the things we love here in America today:
