After a disappointing rookie season for Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka he has stepped up and said that he will be a better sophomore. He believes that having a second child, due this spring, will provide him some fuel to take it up a notch. I'm not sure what he thinks is going to happen when he and his wife have two kids in diapers under the same roof. Maybe the desire to be out of the house more? Is it an excuse to increase the workouts?
According to Yahoo:
"It will be the best source to give me power. I will aim for a second straight World Series title," Matsuzaka told a sponsor's event in Tokyo.
"Personally I will have to achieve more and I am convinced I can do better than what I did this season," he said.
And if that doesn't work, Daisuke, just have a third kid!
