Extra Bases has a post saying Tito thought Beckett was way better than expected but he would not speculate on being ready for game 1 in Japan. Goldblog quoted Tito before the game: “He’s termed day to day. In other words, it’s probably best-case scenario of what could have happened yesterday. … I don’t think that it’ll be terribly long, and when you say day-to-day. As soon as this thing settles down, we’ll get him back moving in the right direction. Again, I think we’re all relieved to see him moving around the way he was. I think he was even surprised.”
Here is today’s lineup:
Jed Lowrie – SS
Alex Cora – 2B
David Ortiz — DH
Manny Ramirez – LF
Mike Lowell – 3B
J. D. Drew – RF
Sean Casey – 1B
Doug Mirabelli – C
Joe Thurston – CF
Daisuke Matsuzaka – P
Still no Coco, still no Lugo
