If Ortiz has to be in the lineup at all, at least he's 7th.

This 3 games set is huge. i really do not get why jacoby is not starting?

[suns]

Suprised ells isn't playing.

[TedWilliams101]

WTF is with these damned lineups. They need to bench Tek already. Ells should be in CF, V-mart behind the plate, and Kotch at first. How the hell does Tito expect this lineup to score off of Millwood? Is he high?

Since the All-Star break it's been a whopping .506.

[cobra24]

damn even better...

A day off combined with bad numbers vs Millwood probly.

 

Varitek is most likely in there because he is 12-29 vs Millwood.

[italstallianion]

If we don't win, I'm totally going to be pissed off.

Don't worry, if we don't win tonight, Gonzalez will solve our problems...

lol

[cobra24]

Day off?

 

holy hell! i did not think about that one.. sorry, i was also thinking that this is a huge series and they need to sweep.

[Gosawks]

Why do we need too sweep? If we take 2 out of 3 we gain a game. I would love them too sweep but we dont NEED to sweep. I think he should be in there dont get me wrong but we dont need to sweep.

[suns]

Thought the game came on at 7 eastern guess I was wrong..

[ms_sox]

Reddick leading off doesn't seem too stupid to me for the moment, in this situation, if Ells needs a rest. I sure hope Ortiz hits something. Or better, a few somethings. DH shouldn't be a graveyard hole. Sigh.

 

Lester, be awesomesauce.

I'm not sure giving Ells a day off when Youk is on a suspension and Tek/Green are in the lineup, especially considering that we are facing Millwood.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Don't worry. I have a feeling the Sox finally hit this damn guy. They can't make him look great for the third time this season, right?

If Tito thinks he looks extra tired, who am I say Ells isn't?

But yeah, I do agree in theory. Was just saying if you accept Ells is not there, Reddick as top of the lineup doesn't seem awful for one day. He's been hitting ok, at least...from what I've seen anyway.
