OK, in addition to mustard, the Japanese also like to race mascots.Wally and Stomper, the A's mascot, just raced on the video screen as Daisuke Matsuzaka warmed up for the fifth inning. And, as I mentioned, Wally won.Maybe that will bode well?Also, the entire press row that I'm in just ran into the concession stands to get vanilla soft ice cream. Perhaps they all miss the Fenway Park press box, where the soft ice cream might just be the best option in the dining room.
