Glad to see we're still in first but we had a losing record this month! That's no good!

Gonna make a few changes.

Take Curt Schilling out of the starting rotation. Switch places with Andy Pettitte.

For this month I'm going to experiment with Jason Varitek as my main catcher. Jorge Posada will only catch for 1997 Pedro Martinez

New Lineups:

vs. RHP

1. SS Derek Jeter
2. CF Bernie Williams
3. DH David Ortiz
4. LF Manny Ramirez
5. RF Vladimir Guerrero
6. 1B Jason Giambi
7. C Jason Varitek
8. 2B Alfonso Soriano
9. 3B Robin Ventura


vs. LHP

1. SS Derek Jeter
2. CF Bernie Williams
3. LF Manny Ramirez
4. RF Vladimir Guerrero
5. DH David Ortiz
6. C Jason Varitek

Hey, Hulkamatt, since you're here, am I allowed to claim that this is a Pokemon LP to drive up the viewership numbers?
