Well that day is here, finally. Today I’ll be ‘allowed’ to play catch for the first time since January. A lot has happened and there is probably even more left to do, but it’s a step.
As we were talking through things the other day a point I was trying to make to anyone involved was [...]

You just cannot throw a ball BEHIND someone when you are trying to throw a strike, or even a ball in. A stray breaking ball sure, but that’s even rare to impossible. A ball sailing behind a hitter, one that’s hit 2 bombs, is a ball being thrown at a guy.
The rule in place now [...]

Not the greatest picture, but it works. From left to right: 2007 WS Ring, 2004 WS Ring, 2001 WS Ring, 1993 NLCS Ring.
Pretty incredible day, from the rogue jet looping the formation on the flyover to seeing Bill Buckner finally lauded for being what he was, a great player, to Pesky and Ortiz raising our [...]

I had the privelage of meeting ALS patients and their families at the Tokyo Dome this morning prior to the exhibition game. There are 8,000 known ALS patients living in Japan. I would guess that there are 75% of that number living here undiagnosed as well.
The chapter has been here since 1986 and works in [...]

Well maybe not. Let’s start at the beginning.
Late last year we had confirmation of MLB’s desire for the Red Sox to open the 2008 baseball season in Japan. At first glance an exciting cool proposition. I have no idea what people were thinking but I know the players gave this a lukewarm reception at best, [...]

Congratulations to John McCain in winning the Republican GOP nomination. I can’t imagine a finer person now in position to become our next President. If you are someone that voted for another candidate, and haven’t heard this man in person, I would urge you to do so.
He won’t pander and you probably won’t agree with [...]

Speculation is rampant right now. I see the Sox just released a statement.
At the time we negotiated the 2008 contract I passed all physical exams and testing, as well as the MRI the club required me to take. I knew in my heart of hearts that the extra time I was giving my arm to [...]

On a resounding day of victories. I am proud to know the man and proud to see others believing in him as well. I am not sure what the overall turnout was yesterday but I am hearing it was large, which is fantastic.
Interesting to hear the political ‘experts’ talk about what it all means now, [...]

Regardless of your political affiliation, get out and vote today if you are in one of the states holding their primary. If you want to come here and scream bloody murder about politics or opinions on politics at least bring the credibility of having voted with you.
FYI I cast my vote for one John McCain [...]
