Matsuzaka: 'I'd like to focus everything on coming start'
By: Joe Haggerty

Daisuke Matsuzaka will make his first big league start since landing on the 15-day disabled list on June 19 with a slightly strained right shoulder, and told the media Saturday afternoon that he was appropriately "excited" about pitching in Boston. The 28-year-old is going out with realistic expecations, and brushed aside talk about making statements concerning his worthiness for potential Sox playoff rosters. Matsuzaka was 1-5 with an 8.23 ERA in eight early season before hitting the DL. "I know that it took me some time to get here, but I also feel that I was able to use that time to get prepared really well," said Matsuzaka through translator Masa Hoshino. "I just hope that I can apply all those things that I was preparing for. I don't think it's necessary to think that far ahead (to the playoffs) right now. I'd like to focus everything I have on my upcoming start....

Seymour said he intends to report to Oakland this weekend
By: Christopher Price

In his first public comments since being traded to the Raiders last weekend, former Patriots lineman Richard Seymour told The Boston Herald he will board a flight to Oakland Saturday afternoon in anticipation of playing for the Raiders Monday night.

It's been a difficult few days for Seymour, who said he's been gathering his thoughts in anticipation of heading to Oakland.

“First of all, I was blindsided by this whole event,” said Seymour, the five-time Pro Bowler. “When you get blindsided, you should take a moment to gather your thoughts. I have a lot of personal issues more pressing than football.

“There are a lot of different emotions,” Seymour added. “Football was not my main concern at that point. I have had discussions with the Raiders… I’m excited and happy with the way they’re looking at me.”

Report: Seymour will head to Oakland this weekend and play Monday night
By: Christopher Price

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders are in the final stages of planning Richard Seymour’s arrival in Oakland this weekend, and the disgruntled defensive lineman will be in a Raiders uniform for Oakland’s Monday night game against San Diego. In addition, ESPN is saying Oakland did not give Seymour a new contract, nor a promise not to slap its franchise tag on him after this season. The former Patriots defensive lineman was traded to the Raiders last Sunday for a first-round pick in the 2011 draft, but the five-time Pro Bowler has yet to report to Oakland.
