Dice-K Gets Ready to Get Sox Back on Track

Home Opener Preparations | Fenway Fan Info

Barks and Bites: Pitching staff woes continue as news broke that Bartolo Colon has "tweaked" his oblique on a day when the Sox find themselves in last place. But fear not, Eric Wilbur reminds us that it's still very, very early. So Manny Delcarmen is not Joba Chamberlain. Yet. But it looks like Gabe Kapler could be the second coming of Gorman Thomas for the Brewers. Old friend Kason Gabbard made a strong start for the Rangers, who can't keep David Murphy out of the lineup. Joel Pineiro is getting closer to joining the Cards staff. Dice-K is at Fenway today. Tony Mazz has another side to Jose Canseco's latest mess. Did Larry Lucchino find a solution for the Hawk problem? Morton's must regret not having locked up Bronson Arroyo for steakhouse spots when he was in town. Arroyo got raked today and his ERA is pushing 6. The Online Casino Advisory thinks Clay Buchholz is taking a gamble by dating Erica Ellsbury (sic)? The new Dropkick Murphy's bar replacing the Foggy Goggle on Boylston Street is fine but they won't be forcing "Tessie" down our throats again, will they? Remember when you could just be a fan without having a 5-point plan? Those were the days... Schill checked in yesterday with some thoughts on Canseco, Mirabelli, and more... So is it the Susan Goodenow show tomorrow? She's got some big shoes to fill... Sox in first place? Corn dogs? Has 'The Guy from Boston' ever gone to Opening Day? And does he really have anything to say? Just asking... Did the Herald just discover that Monster seat auctions are a ripoff? Or was it a slow Saturday?
