Here are the lineups for Game 5, a potential elimination game for the Yankees. As expected, the Yankees removed Mark Teixeira from their roster today. They replaced him with Eduardo Nunez. Lance Berkman will start in Teixeira's place at first base.
And there's a bit of Red Sox connection with the first pitch today. The Yankees have brought back Aaron Boone and Bucky Dent to throw out the first pitch. Perhaps there's some confusion as to which team they're facing in the ALCS?
