3. John Smoltz 距離初次牛棚練投剩下一個星期，老史說他感覺好極了。


4. Jason Bay 明確指出他想挑戰自由市球員場

"You play for six years and you earn the right to be a free agent,
and you don't want to sell yourself short," Bay said, according to
MLB.com.

"That doesn't mean that there doesn't have to be some concessions.
But you put yourself in this position, and I think it's in my best
interest to kind of explore."

"I've got a year left," Bay said. "If something comes up that makes
sense for me, I'll definitely consider it."


5. 松坂大輔說日本-古巴戰時速球的 command 是成功的關鍵；
同時他的心態跟2006年 WBC 冠軍戰對決古巴時相同。

記者問到跟世界大賽比較起來有何不同？

松坂回答：「兩種比賽都很令人興奮，對我而言也都別具意義，
但這種錦標賽非常刺激。」


6. Pedroia 預計週四作擊球練習；

Lugo 則是明天開刀。 (好險不是反過來...)

(補充：Lowrie 剛剛熱身賽全壘打XD，Lugo: 為甚麼要欺負我 〒△〒 )

8. About Manny

http://0rz.tw/9rmMM

According to Simers:

"It's as if they live their miserable lives tortured, hoping for the very
worst for Manny so they can feel better about themselves. And they can't
wait to rub the noses of everyone in L.A. into Manny's mess.''
