The curtain rises on Dogs, Tazawa
At 6 p.m., it should be about 51 degrees in Portland. Balmy for April. So the conditions should be fine for the Portland Sea Dogs tp open their season at Hadlock Field.
Surely the temperature will drop as the game goes on. But the good news is that Sea Dogs starter Junichi Tazawa is a control freak - i.e., he throws strikes.
For more on Tazawa, see the the story in today's Press Herald. For more on the Dogs, see the notes
Among those notes is an item on Josh Reddick reaching a "compromise" with the Red Sox about his batting approach.
After their loss Wednesday night, the Red Sox are simply a .500 team (after two games).
Is there panic in New York after the Yankees' 0-2 start. Mark Feinsand of the Daily News reminds fans that the 1998 Yankees began the year 0-3, before winning 114 games. But the starting pitching will have to improve.
