DeRosa's been killing me. Is Manny goign to be in the lineup tonight?

Manager Terry Francona said after Friday's game that he expected Manny Ramirez (knee, hamstring) back in the lineup for Saturday's game.

"He’s going to play," Francona said. "I don’t think he feels any better, but he’s going to play and see if he can do it. If he can’t, we’ll get him out of there."

Thanks Havok. Just to be safe I'm sitting him any way. Would someone please phone Francona and let him know it's ok to sit Manny and rest up tomorrow?
