Upcoming pitchers

Here's the breakdown of likely pitchers in the Sox upcoming games:

Wed 02/28 v Twins: Curt Schilling
Thu 03/01 v Blue Jays: Kason Gabbard
Thu 03/01 v Northeastern: Josh Beckett
Fri 03/02 v Blue Jays: Kyle Snyder
Fri 03/02 v Boston College: Daisuke Matsuzaka
Sat 03/03 v Phillies: Tim Wakefield/Jonathan Papelbon

All our bullpen options should get a chance to pitch this week. I'm looking forward to taking a look at the team's less heralded Japanese import: Hideki Okajima.
Here are a few other sox stories from this morning:

Mike Timlin left practice early yesterday with cramping in his back:

“It cramped up. What am I going to do?” he shrugged. “It’s not like I’ve torn anything, and I’m not dead. I’ll be OK.”

Manny Delcarmen will need to impress to start the season in the majors:

“I think he would be in a development stage or progression toward the back end of the game,” New Sox pitching coach John Farrell said. “He’s in competition for a spot in the bullpen, but I think repeating his delivery and executing his pitches consistently is the first step.”
