Christmas is almost here and baseball is still 4 months away, but the Red Sox are still the talk of Boston, especially with the signing of Daisuke Matzusaka. Here are a few quick notes about the Sox:
D-Mat's Here!: Boston is buzzing with excitement over the signing of Matzusaka, who is being compared already to Pedro Martinez, before he's even thrown one pitch in the States. His flight from LA to Boston was tracked online and he was greeted by media and fans when he got to the airport. Today almost 100 media members, including about 50 from Japan are in the city for D-Mat's first Boston press conference. Tonight he drops the puck at the Bruins game, it will be interesting to see the reaction he gets.
Mirabelli is back too: The Sox made their second biggest signing of the off-season, resiging back-up catcher Doug Mirabelli, who will again catch every five days for Tim Wakefield. No matter what, Jason Varitek has to stay healthy this year, we can't deal with Mirabelli as the regular catcher.
Rocket's Red Glare?: All Dan wants for Christmas is Brian Leetch, but while Leetch back in Rangers' blue would be nice, I want to see Roger Clemens back for the Red Sox. Its time for him to stop teasing Sox fans and come back for a final go. Schilling, Clemens, D-Mat, Beckett, Wakefield, that would be the perfect gift. Jon Papelbon can close again, settling that issue.
Back to writing a Latin paper.
