So much for Daisuke Matsuzaka staying on track this spring.  A stiff neck forced Dice-K to miss a scheduled live batting practice session this morning.  He never even got to throw one single pitch because of the neck situation.  It would have been the first time that he faced live hitters this spring.  If all [...]

Red Sox starter John Lackey is looking forward to playing in an environment where every game counts.  Let’s just hope he is up to the task after signing the lucrative 5-year, $82.5 million deal in mid-December.
While eating at a solid Italian restaurant in Boston’s famous North End, Lackey got a “taste” of what it’s like [...]

It’s good and bad – what to do with the Red Sox deep and talented starting rotation.  When you have 6 legitimate starters, what do you do?  GM Theo Epstein and Manager Theo Epstein will have to figure this out as Spring Training 2010 progresses next month.
