There's
a good article on Okaji this morning on the Globe's website. I adore Okaji, so this was nice to read. Just one or two things...
Okajima's rookie season with the Sox was a success, but it also involved a steep learning curve. Nobody could prepare Okajima or Daisuke Matsuzaka for the enormous culture shock that awaited them. There were too

Dice & Lester in Japan? Love it. Eight days left...

Yeah - I approve, too. Those two starting the games that count is probably the best scenario we could have at the moment, considering the current Josh-less state of the rotation. (I also like Clay and Wake getting the exhibition starts - that must be an awesome experience.)

Also I think Papelbon would be a pirate along with the other bullpen guys. Though I did have a funny ass mental imagery of the bullpen as the Power Rangers. Papelbon would be the Green Ranger(remember there were like two leaders: the red and the green ranger) Timlin would be the red ranger. Okajimer would be yellow, Snyder would be pink(because he's pretty), Delcarmen would be the black ranger and then Lopez would be the blue...or something like that.

(I'd put Sentai Jonathan second on my list of "Things Jonathan Papelbon Must Do In Japan," but it loses out to playing Human Tetris.)

Yeah Papelbon doing Human Tetris is better. he'd fail so hard at it and it'd be awesome. I think that probably Lugo, Jacoby, or Coco would do best with it.

However, I totally want to see Papelbon and Manny as a team on this show, just for the humor content. Watching Manny dive through holes, dreadlocks flying, whilst wearing a jumpsuit would be high comedic art.

Also, if you ever finish all the other stuff you gotta draw, there was a cute little blurb in the Globe the other day about how Tek keeps putting on the wrong uniform and Timlin had to remind him which one to wear. So mebbie once all the important stuff is out of the way there's an idea?

Sure, I'll add that to the list! It sounds adorable! (It also gives me an opportunity to draw Timlin's fabled camo glove, too...)

Yayy! I just keep imagining everyone standing around in their red unis and then Tek comes out in all his gear wearing a blue uni and is like "KAY GUYZ, BASEBALL TIEM" while everyone else is just *faceglove*. Or Timlin laying out his clothes for him like he's five. Tek has gotten so weird this spring; I really think someone's slipping him happy pills...
I would do this myself, but I can't even sorta draw, so it would make my life if someone else did it. :D

I know! I'm totally not complaining, because it's amusing, but it's definitely weird. (Did you see the clip of him trying to get his ring size using his toe instead of his finger?)
