Lineups

It's a lovely day for game No. 162 here at Fenway Park. Everything's looking up. (Not, say, like last season's finale.) With Julian Tavarez making a late cut-in on the starting spot, the lineup looks fairly normal. But manager Terry Francona indicated that it might not be that way by the final out of the game. Look for some substitutions...
