100 Pitches...Some Bullpen!

Dice-K comes with quite a reputation for being a workhorse--I've heard of him throwing 200 pitches a game in Japan. I figured the Sox would get him on a more typical American throwing program...not so fast I guess--he threw 100 pitches in his first bullpen session yesterday!

Other news on the Dice-K front...sounds like he'll be the pitchman for more than Asanti beer and might try to help land Ichiro next year.

Spring is Here (sort of!)

What better to take the edge of another cold February day in the Boston area than realizing that Red Sox pitchers and catchers get started this Friday! As has been the case for awhile, once the Pats season came to its disappointing end, all our sporting attention could turn with eager anticipation to another Sox season.

Theo may have switched his gorilla suit for a tux this offseason; but it was still another exciting hotstove period. Clearly the biggest hype this year is the pending arrival of none other than Dice-K! Can't wait to see his first game in a Red Sox uniform!
