Posted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff March 21, 2008 09:54 PM

For those of you checking the blog at 10 p.m. on Friday night, I've got the lineup for this exhibition between the Red Sox and the Hanshin Tigers.

Red Sox

1. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
2. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Manny Ramirez, LF
5. Mike Lowell, 3B
6. J.D. Drew, RF
7. Jason Varitek, C
8. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
9. Julio Lugo, SS

Clay Buchholz, P

We'll have more ... including an interview with Manny Ramirez and updates from Terry Francona's morning session soon.

Plus, batting practice for the Tigers, and why it had the Red Sox confused.

All coming up next on Extra Bases!

  1. Do you think this is a preview of the lineup for the season?

    Hope you got some sleep. It sounds like your colleagues are a little out of it today.

  1. Thanks for the blogs. The Sox have a surprising number of fans here in Japan (like me) so we appreciate the updates, just like the "real" games in the states. Got box seats for Daisuke's game Tuesday night from my employer and am stoked. Tip: for a story: cover the "beverage girls" hawking booze in the stands. The stands will be swarming with cute girls in flourescent shorts carrying a small keg of beer of harder beverages. Very effective marketing.
