Just trying to figure out how and where I can keep track of Jose Ortiz and Todd Betts on a daily basis and view the box scores of their games in English.

Daily statistics and boxscores can be found in Japanese on many sites.
BaseballAmerica.com has statistics in English.

Please let me know what web site I can use to review the boxscores & game summaries for the 2003 season.

All boxscores are in Japanese. Do you read Japanese?
