MINNEAPOLIS -- Just a couple of tweaks to the Red Sox lineup tonight. Jason Varitek will get the night off with a day game tomorrow. George Kottaras will catch starter Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Nick Green is in at shortstop rather than Julio Lugo. Also, J.D. Drew will bat third and David Ortiz sixth for the second straight game.

Ortiz should hit 7th when Lowell is back in the lineup.
Why on God's green earth is Mikey batting in the seventh spot, to cover Papi's back??
Having Lowell batting behind Ortiz will increase Ortiz's chances of getting better pitches to look at.
Pathetic that TS put Lowell at 7th. What an insult for opening and now the rallies stop with the 6th spot
