Hello, bonjour

Workouts are done for the day, and Red Sox manager Terry Francona and Curt Schilling just finished meeting with the media here at the minor league complex.

After Schilling met with one group of media members, he headed on over to the Funai Media Tent, where he exhibited some of the conversational Japanese he has been working on to Daisuke Matsuzaka’s chroniclers. Schilling repeated the Japanese words he said to Matsuzaka upon meeting him for the first time this spring, and even drew a smattering of applause from the Japanese media folk. Whatever it was that he said, it was some form of hello.

“I said it at the same time as he did, and I realized I was saying it wrong,” Schilling said.

More to come…
