Dice-K?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Just a reminder today's game is on FSN and is also in HD on ESPNHD. I am not sure but ESPN might be blacked out locally because it is also on FSN.
This is from C. Trent's blog. With Matsuzaka pitching today they had to give out 200 media credentials to a spring training game.
Big day at the old ballpark today. There's a huge media crush expected with about 75 reporters in the Red Sox traveling party, including a ton of Japanese reporters following around starting pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. Overall, PR guru Rob Butcher said - with ESPN, FSN, and Tokyo Broadcasting System - he had to issue about 200 daily media credentials.
The list includes: Boston Globe, Boston Hearld, Providence Journal, Hartford Courant, Lawrence Eagle Tribune, MLB.com, AP, Portland Press Herald, Asahi Shimbun, Chunichi Shimbun, Fuji Evening News, Hochi Shimbun, Jiji Press, Kyodo News, Nikkan Gendai, Kikkeil Shimbun, Nikkan Sports News, Sankei Shimbun, Sankei Sports, Sports Nippon, Daily Sports, Mainichi New2s, Tokyo Sports Press, Yomiuri Shuimbun, FM Nack 5 Radio, Fuji TV, NHK, NTV, TBS, TV Asahi, TV Tokyo and Nuevo Dia.

We'd hate to let work stand in the way of a good spring training game

looks like the opening day lineup.
Not great but it could be worse. Gonzo should never bat anywhere other than 8th.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt right now considering he is still somewhat of a rookie. (an older rookie, though) He isn't likely to get much more patient... but he'll surely figure out how to handle ML pitches better. Assuming he can keep from falling into one of his nasty slumps, he'll be a pleasant surprise this year.
