Tonight's Sox lineup
The Red Sox lineup is in, and Dustin Pedroia is getting a night off:
1. J.D. Drew, RF
2. Jed Lowrie, SS
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
5. Mike Lowell, 3B
6. Jason Bay, LF
7. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
8. Kevin Cash, C
9. Alex Cora, 2B
-- Tim Wakefield, SP



Yet again, Tim Wakefield takes the mound with the B team in tow. Why is that?
I was just wondering the other night, when was the last time Dustin Pedroia got the night off.
wow what a stinko lineup
Go Sox!
Couldn't Pedroia get a night off when one of the other pitchers are going? Cora, Cash and Ellsbury is just deadly.... for the Red Sox. Poor Wakes.
I love Lowrie at two. Absolutely love him there. But why not flip Ortiz and Youkilis?
Youkilis is the team's best, all-around hitter, so he belongs at three. He can carry the team from that slot. Ortiz is a cleanup hitter now, and with more men on base, the Ortiz shift can work to our advantage.
What about COCO Tito?
Can anyone explain why Tito feels he needs to further weaken the lineup by inserting Cora when Varitek is out of the lineup already? Seems like he tries to concede the game when Wakefield pitches. A typical lineup when Wake is pitching usually consists of Cora, Cash and Coco. I don't understand it. Wake could use the run support.
The Red Sox have had trouble giving Wake run support this year so lets sit our hottest hitter, Pedrioa. WTF??? Stupid managing move considering the whole team has the night off tommorrow. I usually don't wuestion Francona but this is a head sratcher.
Try and shut down that powerhouse of a lineup KC. Plus we got Varitek and Crisp to pinch hit. Talk about thunder.
I know Pedroia has been lights out and could probably use the day off but with the Rays already winning today and the day off tomorrow why is he not playing!
bay 6?
yikes
Thank God for Mike Lowell; he runs harder on one leg than Manny ever did on two (unless, of course, he's trying to impress his new girlfriend).
YOU GUYS ROCK
