Here's the lineup for tonight's Yankees-Red Sox game. No decision has been made yet on whether or not Mussina will stay in the rotation. Torre, Guidry and Mussina are expected to sit down and talk, though probably not until tomorrow.
Sean Henn was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He can't pitch for several days after throwing 79 pitches last night, and his wife is to be induced into labor with their first child Sunday morning. So he will join S/W-B for the playoffs. Chris Britton was recalled to take Henn's spot.

Matsui's knee must really be bothering him. This is the 2nd game in a row that he's DHing.
John G.
Maybe but he also hits like .50 points higher when he DH's.
I really wouldn't mind sweeping this series.
Wouldn't mind one bit.
Make that .050.
My bad. Wishful thinking.
We need "APRIL A-ROD"
It would be nice to see him go on a 17 HR September nomsayin...
If we sweep, it will give us a good head of steam going into the weekend, then Seattle next week.
At least Andy will keep the guys in the game tonight. We shouldn't have another fiasco like last night.
I hope.
I'm with you Phucker.
But I want to see some good numbers from the rotation now.
John
Rotation?
Hah
YOu mean Pettitte Wang Pettitte Wang...
I like that "Rotation"
I know what you mean Phucker. I said the same thing on the other thread today along with a few other guys.
However, if we're going to get to "The Dance", we'd better have "The Dates".
It's amazing that
.324 24 HR 87 RBI
is considered a down year for David Ortiz.
I thought he was hurt but how do you argue with those numbers?
Game time! It's on, baby!
Come on A-Rod, home run, baby!
HBP works.
works!!!
his ribs better damn well be intact or we're in trouble
Manny gets hit!
I'm following on Yahoo, so I didn't see how hard it was. He'll suck it up.
I'm watching on the internet. There's a delay.
He plucked him right in the ribs Crosetti.
Youkilis made a nice play on that throw.
Ouch. If yanks retaliate, best to wait until late in the game and have Bruney, not Pettite, do it.
HIP HIP...
Jorge!!!!!!
Nice, Jorge!
That worked out nicely Phucker.
Better yet,
Let Joba do it!
Come on, Cano. Picking up these two runners would be huge.
I don't think anyone here wants Joba to get suspended.
Didn't get enough of it.
The Yanks won't let Joba do it if warnings were issued.
If that's the case, then wait until tomorrow.
Daisucky threw 27 pitches that inning.
JOBA SHOULD DO IT!!
BY THE TIME HIS SUSPENSION WAS OVER HE"D BE ELIGIBLE TO PITCH AGAIN
IT'S PERFECT HAH
Tie game.
Common guys, make this guy work. We cant afford these crap 3 pitch ab's that end in a lazy fly or ground ball. AT LEAST make the guy work, like in the first inning.
They're about even in pitch count.
Daisucky = 50 through 3
Petitte = 54 through 3.
Pettitte's thrown a lot of pitches. I hope that he gets through 7 at least.
How many times Yanks hit by Sox pitchers...And A- Rod,Jeter?
How many times Sox hit by Yankeepitchers...Papi,Manny
