Are the Yankees using a four man rotation this year?

Its the fifth game of the year and Johnson has the start again, but the orioles are starting Bruce Chen, their fifth starter. BTW if anyone cares as to the score, 1-0 Baltimore.

1. No, they've just had a lot of off days already

Particularly since they and the Sox played the opening game a day early. Since they've had all the off days, they decided to skip their 5th starter (who is on the DL, anyway) the first couple times to keep the rest of the rotation on a normal schedule.

2. Ahh I had been wondering why Johnson had the start today

Yeah I forgot that you guys played sunday instead of monday.
