Clemens will earn $28 million on a prorated basis from the first day he is added to the Yankees' Major League rosterBig Mouth Schill"It would have been nice to have him, but we didn't need him. We don't need him," Schilling said."Oh yeah. I would think so," Schilling told hosts John Dennis and Dale Arnold. "I mean, he admitted that he used steroids. I mean, there's no gray area. He admitted to cheating on his wife, cheating on his taxes and cheating on the game, so I think the reaction around the league, the game, being what it is, in the case of what people think.Dice-KLooking positively rejuvenated, Matsuzaka mowed down the Jays with relative ease over seven innings of work. He allowed five hits and a run over seven innings, walking three and registering eight strikeouts.That one big inning that had haunted Matsuzaka in recent weeks never made an appearance, as the right-hander was in complete command, throwing in a healthy mix of heaters, sliders, cutters and changeups while adding a splitter that hadn't been seen much of late. It didn't matter if he was out of the windup or the stretch, Matsuzaka put his pitches where he wanted them, improving to 4-2.BeckettSeven starts in, Beckett is batting 1.000.In Beckett's seven starts, the Red Sox have scored 50 runs while he's been in the game.one start away from capturing his own piece of historyLester update: Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester is still scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.
