Dice's Debut On NESN

The spring debut of Daisuke Matsuzaka, which will happen a week from tonight, on Friday, March 2nd against Boston College, will be broadcast live by NESN. However, they will only be showing the innings when Dice-K pitches, which should be just the first two innings or so, and then they will shift back to their regular programming when he's done for the night.

I would hazard a guess that it will probably be the first time that any of the college teams the Red Sox play every year in spring training will be a sellout. I also read today that Dice-K threw a 103-pitch bullpen session yesterday. Sounds like he's ready to roll....

The first Red Sox spring training game is this Wednesday night, February 28th at Ft. Myers against the Minnesota Twins at 7:05 PM. Curt Schilling will get the start for the Red Sox. I'm expecting a large and rowdy contingent at Professor Thom's, despite it being Bingo Night...
