Why weightlifters can become governor.

April 24, 2007: Matsuzaka throws 40 plus pitches in first week of spring training.

--------------------------------------------

Hey, Red Sox; glad that camp is open and that the hype is going full force.

We're so happy that spring is just around the corner.

But...mmmm....well...maybe you guys might want to rethink having a 26 year old who's pitched heavy innings his entire life and who is going to be on the team for four years throwing "balls out" the very first week in the damn country.

We here up in da 'Pent aren't quite sure if the media are trying to remind Sox management of all the burned out young pitchers in the history of baseball, but they sure have been pounding away at how wonderful this young man's arm is. Are they clever, or just being led around?

Give us a break, please, Sox.

Ease up on him.

Bodybuilders know that muscles need rest after a tough workout. And that you don't go heavy early.

This is why "Governor Schwarzenegger" has a chance to be the next POTUS.

And "Senator Jim Bunning" doesn't.
