Looks (and feels) like it is going to be colder tonight. I hope the fleece will be enough.

For the big games at Fenway, an auxillary press box is set up in right field (where your Press Herald crew is located tonight). Rarely have to worry about wind chill in a press box (I know, no one is feeling any sympathy ... and, yes, it beats real work).

The Rockies are sticking with the same lineup. The Red Sox did some re-shuffling, with Colorado using a right-hander (Ubaldo Jimenez)

The Red Sox have a 1.000 batting average against Jimenez. Julio Lugo is the only one on the Red Sox to face him, getting a hit in his one at-bat.

Todd Helton has a .333 average against Curt Schilling (18-for-54, 5 HR)

Here are the lineups:

Matsui, 2b
Holliday, lf
Helton, 1b
Atkins, 3b
