Today's lineups

That felt so good to type those two words. Think I'll do it again:

Today's lineups.

The snow is getting heavier. The power outage lasted 36 hours this time ... but there is hope.

Baseball.

The Red Sox play two exhibition games today - the annual game with Boston College at 1 p.m., and then a cross-town game with the Twins at 7 p.m.

In the BC game, Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Kris Johnson, Junichi Tazawa, Felix Doubront and Daniel Bard are scheduled to pitch for Boston.

In the Twins game, Tim Wakefield, Justin Masterson, Manny Delcarmen, Javier Lopez, Ramon Ramirez, Billy Traber and Dustin Richardson are scheduled to pitch for the Red Sox.
