Teixeira emerges (Red Sox 6, Yankees 4)


1. Jeter (SS)
2. Damon (LF)
3. Teixeira (1B)
4. A-Rod (3B)
5. Mastui (DH)
6. Nady (RF)
7. Posada (C)
8. Cano (2B)
9. Cabrera (CF)

Until this lineup is healthy, I don't view any contest between the Yankees and the Red Sox as a legitimate test of which team is stronger. After all, the Red Sox lineup is in perfect health and the Yankees are missing two or three of the players above in every game.

Phil Hughes vs. Jason Lester is also meaningless, since it's unlikely Hughes will still be around late in the season or in the playoffs.

By the way, Tex was hitting balls to the warning track a week ago. Tonight those same hits landed in the seats. Nice timing for a break-out game.
