Daisuke, Okajima Twitter for Jan. 17, 2010

This week’s twitter digest include Daisuke Matsuzaka groin injury (which I translated “inner thigh injury), Okajima’s 1 year deal and others.

• No! Just learning that my favorite half-Japanese knuckleballer Charlie Zink signed with STL. I wish him luck! http://bit.ly/77uwl1 #
• @TangandZo I am not worthy to be included in that list(!), but thank you very much! in reply to TangandZo #
• Separation of baseball and state… (Please. Sigh.) #
• Here is a video of John Farrell talking about Daisuke Matsuzaka #RedSox http://bit.ly/88SLZA #
• @RodneyRifleman I don't think they have rights to broadcast games on the net, so you won't be able to hear during the game, i don't think. in reply to RodneyRifleman #
• Just got it, pretty cool! RT @bradfo: iPhone awesomeness, do yourself a favor get the newly-released WEEI app http://bit.ly/6mvEte #
• Haha! RT @fengypants: Also, @DaigoFuji has the honor of being the man who outed Dice-K's injured groin. Wait, that didn't come out right. #

• @DougzInBoston Yeah, crazy that Hideki Okajima is making almost as much as Yu Darvish. Further evidence that Darvish will come to US. in reply to DougzInBoston #
• #RedSox pitching coach John Farrell once recruited John Lackey for Oklahoma State before he was drafted by the Angels. http://bit.ly/7C6uVv #
• RT @AmalieBenjamin: Farrell admitted that the #RedSox didn't know about the Daisuke injury until the article. "Hopeful" won't happen again. #
• #RedSox LHP Hideki Okajima agrees to 1 year $2.75 million deal. w/$200,000 bonus for games pitched. via @bradfo http://bit.ly/646mbh #

• ESPN's @GordonEdes says despite losing Saito, Wagner, #RedSox's 2010 bullpen is upgrade over '09. Bard's role is big. http://bit.ly/8XR2VJ #
• Want Sox Prospects' autographs? Mon Jan 18 3:30PM at Best Buy near Fenway. SABR meeting is near there, too! http://bit.ly/8FcbUa #
• Great story about #RedSox new pitcher John Lackey by @AmalieBenjamin. http://bit.ly/4DlWK0 Sounds like we got a great guy. #
• David "Big Papi" Ortiz on Jimmy Fallon pretty funny but tame, and no steroid question (as expected). #RedSox http://bit.ly/6fk8rn #
• RT @AmalieBenjamin: Youk's on the mic at Hot Stove Cool Music, announced he's moving to centerfield for 2010. He's kidding. I think. #redsox #
• Excellent RT @redsoxbelieve: Looks like David Ortiz will be on @LateNightJimmy on Monday night along with Lenny Clarke #redsox #
• @batterupbruno I agree, except that I absolutely LOVE WBC… Been to both of them and will be there in 2013. in reply to batterupbruno #
• Judging from the negative reaction, obviously I didn't do a good job translating. Japanese article about Daisuke is very positive one. #
• Awesome! RT @RochieWBZ: Only 40 days and 40 nights until pitchers and catchers report to the Fort!! Ahhh, feel the warmth!! #redsox #
• @batterupbruno I thought the Japanese article is very positive. 2009 was very difficult year for him, but he got over it. in reply to batterupbruno #
• @BobMcNulty From the article, I got the feeling that he is in much better situation with the team, culturally, now than before. in reply to BobMcNulty #
• @firebrandal it was a magazine called "Friday." An entertainment news and gossip weekly. in reply to firebrandal #

• Global Series between MLB and NPB (Japanese league) champs? I have mixed feeling about this. via @SBJSBD http://bit.ly/6zqsIk #
• Regretting my decision to click link on Schilling's blog. I'm a Christian but I have an uncle who is a Buddhist monk. Serenity, NOW! #
• @wikard @hieronymus Thank you, that was what I meant by "New" LF, Jacoby Ellsbury, instead of two CFs Ellsbury/Cameron. #
• Jan. 18 MLK day SABR event looks great w/ESPN's @KeithLaw, Larry Tye & players F. Perez (Rays) & Monbouquette (#RedSox) http://bit.ly/7UGsXI #
• Good morning. Back in Boston now. I see now that we have new 3B and LF. Looking like 2010 #RedSox will be all about pitching and defense. #
• Over past 5 yrs, Bay has played the 2nd most games and innings among all outfielders, behind only Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki. via @alexspeier #
• By the way, I am enjoying my vacation in not-so-warm Florida. Ate good German sausage at Epcot. http://bit.ly/6nGoTf #TwEATs #fb #
• Former Rays Aki Iwamura was #RedSox killer, hitting .357 vs Matsuzaka, Wakefield, Beckett & Lester. He's a Pirate now. http://bit.ly/79dHqD #
• Chunichi Dragons consider posting 24-yo Taiwanese LHP Chen Wei-Yin after 2010. Led NPB w/1.59 ERA, only 8W but 19QS. http://bit.ly/8uD668 #
