Bad News? Daisuke Matsuzaka left the game last night after four innings with what the Red Sox are calling "shoulder fatigue". It's similar to the injury that plagued Dice-K earlier in his professional career in Japan, which he (erroneously) tried to pitch through -- so the Sox were careful not to make the same mistake and quickly pulled him last night. Tito Francona said the team isn't sure whether Dice will make his next scheduled start on Monday.
Good News? If the whole pitching thing doesn't work out, Dice-K showed a remarkable talent for posing. I smell a centerfold in his future!

That's funny.
My husband and I were cracking up seeing him just lying there.
What a bizarre game last night--Lugo tossed. Tito tossed (he had a great expression after being ejected, like "wth?"). Dice out in 5.
Speaking of bizarre, have you seen the SI cover? Awesome. I haven't read the article yet, but I just had to have the cover with Jeter being hoisted by a Ray in the EE's stadium.
