Today's lineup

The sun is bright over Tampa Bay, as the sea gulls fly over the adjoining Progress Energy Park (also known at Al Lang Field). Not a bad way to spend the morning as I give you the Red Sox lineup for today, as well as one Sea Dogs reminder.

The lineup:
Coco Crisp CF
Kevin Youkilis 1B
Jason Varitek DH
Manny Ramirez LF
Mike Lowell 3B
Eric Hinske rF
Doug Mirabelli C
Alex Cora SS
Dustin Pedroia 2B

Devern Hansack P

Varitek is the DH, getting his wished-for extra AB's. Varitek also hopes to piggy-back Mirabelli's starts soon, so he can catch Boston's new relievers.

Tickets for the" Futures at Fenway" doubleheader go on sale today, starting at 10 a.m. The games are Saturday, Aug. 11, featuring two of Boston's minor league teams, starting with the Lowell Spinners vs. Hudson Valley at noon, followed by the Double-A game between the Portland Sea Dogs and Harrisburg. Tickets range from $5 (upper bleachers) to $30 (Monsters seats, dugout seats). I imagine there is also a service charge includes, but I have not been able to track that down this morning.

Tickets can be purchased online www.redsox.com or by touch-tone phone (617-482-4SOX)
