Projected Lineup
New York Yankees
1. SS, Derek Jeter 2. 3B, Alex Rodriguez 3. RF, Gary Sheffield 4. DH, Rueben Sierra 5. LF, Hideki Matsui 6. C, Jorge Posada 7. 1B, Jason Giambi 8. CF Bernie Williams 9. 2B Tony Womack SP, Carl Pavano

1.CF, Johny Damon 2. SS, Edgar Renteria 3. LF, Manny Ramirez 4. DH, David Ortiz 5. 1B Kevin Millar 6. 3B Bill Mueller 7. 2B Mark Bellhorn 8. C Jason Varitek9. RF Jay Payton SP, Matt Clement

X-Factors- For the Yankees, Hideki Matsui. He had a wonderful game yesterday, rovving that HR from Millar and then hitting a HR. I think that if Matsui can do that again on Tuesday you might as well chalk up two wins for the Yankees.

For the Red Sox, Matt Clement and Manny Ramirez again. Matt can not and I mean can not go out and let the Yankees hit him like they did David Wells. And for Manny, he has to go out and hit like he did in the ALCS last year. He can't go out and hit like he did yesterday, 0 for 4 with 2 K's, you can't do that espically when you are playing the Yankees.

Game Summary- I think Carl Pavano will pitch like Randy did yesterday about 6,7 or 8 strong innings. The Red Sox will score about none or one points, then Mo will come in and shut it out for us and get his first save. I also think that we will also have a very good hitting day. Also the crowd will play a factor just like they did yesterday.

Yankees WIN, THE YANKEES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yankees-8, Red Sox-1

That's not the only problem, but I've addressed my concerns elsewhere.
