Congrats today to Kei Igawa, the Irabooboo, for getting the call that every prospect dreams about. After four years of setting records in the Anthracite Capital of the World, the K is moving up to Double A Trenton. This must be an exciting time for him, and we'll be watching his performance with the Trent Lot, as he chases an uprecendented 4th IT IS HIGH Yankee Employee of the Month award.
Charleston, next?

Red Sox Announce Plans For Green Monster Luxury Boxes
The Red Sox may be spending their Opening Day down in Texas, but some members of the front office have their thoughts back at home.
According to a press release from the team, Fenway Park will be undergoing major renovations over the next offseason to install new luxury boxes into the face of the Green Monster. The upshot of this is that instead of a solid green wall, Red Sox fans will see a solid stripe of glass through the middle of the Monster. While there's no word yet on the fate of the Jimmy Fund or Red Sox Foundation logos, presumably they will be relocated or removed altogether.
"Due to a growing demand for premier seating in Fenway Park, the Red Sox will be adding a section of luxury booths inside the Green Monster in left field," reads the press release. "For the first time ever, Red Sox fans will be able to experience Fenway Park from a unique viewpoint while taking advantage of all the amenities of luxury seating." For those worrying about the dangers of line drives off the wall, the Sox added that specially tempered glass will be used to avoid any health hazards.
Pricing for the new seats has not been announced, but you can likely expect them to be the most expensive in the house.
With the Red Sox having completed a 10-year plan of renovations this past offseason, it remains to be seen if this is just the first in a new set of changes. The Sox have been attempting to widen the bullpens, which would likely add more seating in right field, and as usual will be looking for any available real-estate.
Due to the complexity of the construction involved, and the expectation that the Red Sox will be making a playoff run this year, there's a possibility that construction could push next year's home opener back as far as late April, not coming close to the April 1 opening of some teams this year.
This must be a hoax. They can't actually be so stupid as to change the classic look of the wall.
I hate the Red Sux, but I must admit that I love the wall. Generally, I love stuff that makes a ballpark unique: like Death Valley and the three monuments on the field in the original Stadium; the ivy in Wrigley; the hill in the outfield at old Crosley Field. But if this is not a hoax, let's make it possible for them to start the work on about October 1.
At least Andruw Jones makes his bones.
They should install each of those boxes as a dunk tank. Put a disc on the wall next to each window and if a fly ball hits it: SPLASH !!
Kei will never get that fourth leg of the Impenetrable Quadrilateral unless you relent on your fatwah to deny him a spot on the ballot. 2 months in a row you leave him off, because you can't handle the idea of a foreigner taking all the glory. It's profiling, and it's wrong. Run, Kei, RUN !
