Disclose injuries you will – Daisuke Matsuzaka was visited by his old mentor, a Japanese pitching coach named Tsuyoshi Yoda.  Yoda told reporters that Matsuzaka does indeed appear to be in better shape than he was in the WBC at this time last year.  He then walked over the beach and lifted a sunken tarpon boat out of the water with his mind.

Speaking of Japanese pitchers – If the Red Sox ownership group really wants to open up new “revenue streams”, they will sign this pitcher to a minor league deal.  I don’t believe we have seen the combination of baseball marketing with cartoon kitten merchandising yet, so…get it done, Theo.

Disrespecting his elders – After looking at the roster page for Northeastern’s baseball team, I’m realizing that quite a few of the hitters Casey Kelly will be facing tomorrow are actually older than him.  The Huskies’ bats have been quite explosive, scoring 33 runs in the 4 games they’ve played, but how many pitchers have they faced with pinpoint command of a mid-90′s fastball?  Should be interesting.

No more steroids or HGH, so… – The great ones will always find new and creative ways to stay two steps ahead of MLB’s testing policies.  Calf’s blood!  Well done, Vamp-Rod.
