No rest for the weary

New York manager Joe Torre and his coaching staff spoke with several key players after Saturday's division-clinching victory over the Red Sox about a possible lineup for the season finale. And, besides Jason Giambi every player wanted to be in today's lineup.

Torre asked outfielder Gary Sheffield again today when he arrived at the ballpark and according to the Yankees skipper, Sheffield said "we need to win this game, I'm playing." Torre also said that Giambi physically needed a day off, so Tino Martinez was penciled into the No. 9 spot in the order and is playing first base.
