Fair disclosure: I’m a died in the wool Red Sox fan.

The bad and the good from Jack Curry of the New York Times:


“Everybody told me I should say I’m going to beat the Yankees,” Matsuzaka said, through a translator. “I thought it was a joke, so I didn’t say that.” …


As a high school senior, Matsuzaka became an instant legend when he threw 250 pitches to win a 17-inning quarterfinal game in the Koshien tournament and returned two days later to twirl a no-hitter in the championship. Over all, he pitched four straight days and threw 535 pitches.
