Red Sox lineup & weather update

The Red Sox lineup has been posted and none of the media outlets out of Boston have announced any roster changes.

With a spent bullpen, the Red Sox are counting on a quality start from Josh Beckett.

Of course, the game may not go on, depending on the weather.

The Red Sox sent the following email about 45 minutes ago:

The current weather forecast (provided by the Red Sox private weather service, Meteorlogix) in the vicinity of Fenway Park calls for a possibility of scattered rain showers during the afternoon and evening hours.

The Fenway Park gates will open at the regularly scheduled time of 5:05 p.m., and the Red Sox hope that tonight’s game with the Arizona Diamondbacks will begin at the scheduled time at 7:05 p.m. However, the Red Sox want to alert our fans to the current forecast and the possibility of delay.

And now for the lineup:

RED SOX
Jacoby Ellsbury, LF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
J.D. Drew, RF
Manny Ramirez, DH
Mike Lowell, 3B
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Jason Varitek, C
Coco Crisp, CF
Julio Lugo, SS
(Josh Beckett, P)
