Schilling vs The Curly Haired Boyfriend
Gotta say, I love the Schilling-Shaughnessy feud. For one, Schilling will fight back. So you know it's mano a mano, rather than all those potshots Shaughnessy took at Pedro, and still seemingly takes at any player of Dominican origin.
For another, it brings the Curly Haired Boyfriend phrase back into the spotlight. I never really liked Carl Everett, but I will always remember him for two good things: coining that phrase and breaking up Mussina's perfect game.
All that aside: please, please, please, let the season begin.

Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects
Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects has Matsuzaka as the #1 prospect. I suppose that's true, insofar as Daisuke hasn't proven anything at the major league level. But it's still odd to think of players as old as Daisuke as prospects. Ellsbury (#33), Buchholz (#51), Bard (#81) and Bowden (#83) round up the Sox representation in the top.
Meanwhile, how did the Yankees' farm system go from pathetic to really good in so short a time? Hughes and Jose Tabata both look really good.
