I'm really interested in this game tonight. Im a huge yankee fan. I know Lester is good against us, but their bats are frozen right now. What do u guys think?
Yanks or Sox
- Thread starter MrSports
- Start date
I know Lester can be dominating but if Andy is on his game he can do the same.
I realize Andy is older and does have one bad inning per start.
I like the old man to go toe to toe with the youngster tonight.
For me it's yanks or nothing
Good luck and enjoy anothere classic :toast:

Yeah im leaning yanks too, the line changed a bit looks like everyone is on the sox. I love the fact that lowrie is out which means lugo will prob play and no bay again.
Hey MrSports in case you didn't know lugo is on the cards he was designated for assignment by the sox.
They picked him up last week, not having bay is a good thing
oh thanks for the post, i hate lugo with a passion, he always kills me, he wont last long in st louie either!

Bay back for Sox
NEW YORK -- Jason Bay is back in left field for the Red Sox after missing the first three games of this series. That gets Kevin Youkilis back to the infield. Mike Lowell will DH tonight.
Red Sox
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. Victor Martinez, 1B
4. Kevin Youkilis, 3B
5. Jason Bay, LF
6. J.D. Drew, RF
7. Mike Lowell, DH
8. Jason Varitek, C

The Red Sox also made a roster move before the game, bringing up Fernando Cabrera, who through Aug. 7 was 20-for-20 in save opportunities for Pawtucket, to replace Enrique Gonzalez. Gonzalez, who was 7-10 with a 5.31 ERA for the PawSox, had a rough time in his Red Sox debut last night, walking in a run in the seventh and giving up Derek Jeter?s two-run homer in the eighth.
