Open Thread-Game Eight (cont.,)

Here's today's opening lineups:

1.     T. Womack, 2B
   
2.     D. Jeter, SS
   
3.     G. Sheffield,RF
   
4.     H. Matsui, LF
   
5.     A. Rodriguez 3B
   
6.     J. Posada, C
   
7.     J. Giambi, DH
   
8.     T. Martinez, 1B
   
9.     B. Williams, CF

Joe definitely is shaking it up today. I think Womack is a good choice for the leadoff spot. It's nice to have speed at the top of the lineup.

Jared Wright will be facing:

1.      J. Damon, CF
   
2.      T. Nixon, RF
   
3.      M. Ramirez, LF
   
4.      D. Ortiz, DH
   
5.      K. Millar, 1B
   
6.      E. Renteria, SS
   
7.      J. Varitek, C
   
8.      B. Mueller, 3B
   
9.      R. Vazquez, 2B

Schilling will be pumped making his first start today after coming off ankle surgery. Hopefully we can take the crowd out of it early. If you have never been to Fenway before, the fans are right on top of the field.
