Yankees VS. Red Sox Game Preview

[BuckFoston]

Projected Lineup.
New York Yankees, http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASA...ex.jsp?c_id=nyy
1.SS,Derek Jeter. 2.3B,Alex Rodriguez 3.RF,Gary Sheffield 4.DH,Jason Giambi 5. C, Jorge Posada. 6.LF,Hideki Matsui.
7.CF,Bernie Williams. 8.1B,Tino Martinez.9. 2B, Tony Womack. Starting Pitcher,Randy Johnson.

Boston Red Sox,
1.CF,Johny Damon 2.RF,Trot Nixon 3.LF,Manny Ramirez 4.DH,David Ortiz 5.SS, Edgar Renteria 6.1B,Kevin Millar 7.C,Jason Varitek 8.3B,Bill Mueller 9.2B,Mark Bellhorn,Starting Pitcher,David Wells.


Game Summary (IMO)
I think Johson will go out and pitch a good 7 or 8 strong innings for the Yankees, no runs and about 7 or 8 hits for the Red Sox. The Yankees will go out and hit Wells very good, every one will have a good hitting day.6 to 0, Yankees win.

X-Factors,
Randy Johnson. Manny Ramirez.
If Johnson dosnt go out a pitch strong like he did with the DBacks then we will have to turn to our Big Sticks.And if Ramirez dosnt create something for the Red Sox they will be in trouble.

(I would have added more pictures but it was to many pictures for one post)

Giambi's in the cleanup shot? Matsui in the 6th? Weird.

That is what ESPN and CBS.Sportsline said.

I can't imagine Giambi would hit cleanup.

I agree...I also don't like ARod batting second...I would like Matsui batting second and A Rod batting third for some reason.

[RockSports17]

Different, maybe Torre trying something different to see if it works. JUst have to watch and see.

[Fishercat]

I'm pretty sure the lineup isn't correct. I think I saw something that said Payton starts v. LHP

I don't know guys, lets just watch the game and see what the lineup is.

Yeah, I saw the one with Sierra hitting 4th, which also surprised me. But more belivealbe then Giambi i guess.

GO SOX!!!
