About Dice-K
I just want to mention something about Dice-K and the Japanese players in general: A lot of people here have mentioned that Matsuzaka will refuse to go to the DL or being relegated to the minors: That’s not true! I’ve been around a lot of Japanese people during my years in college and at work and I can tell you something: Tey’re very dedicated to the organization to which they belong and their personal interest come second to the well being of their organization. They are very respectful of their bosses and the prima donna, me-first attitude is very, very denigrated in their culture.
The Dice man mentioned last night that if he keeps pitching like this, he doesn’t deserve a spot in that rotation: That’s very humble from his part. A lot of other players will be def to the self critic and will tell you that they have a lil’ bump in the road, and they’ll come back stronger….Not Dice-K!
I for one am a 100% positive that if Farrel, Tito and Theo tell him that they need to put him on the DL or relegate him to the minors for a period of time to work on his issues: he’ll do it! ‘cause he’s been raised like that.
Oh and the Ichiro attitude is an aberration ;)

I think we should stop lumping "the Japanese" together.
Daisuke is Daisuke.

This is a good idea.
Although it’s still interesting to see how the traditional Japanese culture would dictate his moves.

That was literally right over the middle of the plate. How the heck was that called a ball?

On Bay’s FO:
7:30 Jason Bay continues to swing the bat well, but was just robbed of a base hit by gold glove center fielder Nate McLouth, who heaved himself for a face-first catch. The catch was almost as criminally unfair as the last two major Pirates trades, which just so happened to have involved Jason Bay and Nate McLouth. Oh, baseball, you great game of coincidences (and small market pillaging)!

Was the PitchFX comparisons for hundreds of major league pitchers. Pretty much everybody was pretty similar in appearance, clustered in a lazy inverted U, with lots of different colors.

At the same time. Quite the thrill it must be. :)
I’m kidding here, but, seriously, cheating on the wife should not be a way to judge a sports pro of any kind. It just has shit to do with his performance, and anyone who expects a baseball player to be a role model is a dumbass. It’s just not what he’s paid to do. There are many moral issues that I too hate to see on players on my team, and love to mock when it’s on the other teams. But cheating on the wife? Really?

Beckett is a badass
When he’s on, he’s not just a great pitcher, he’s a tough motherfucker.

Aside from his pitching
That double play he helped turn was impressive.
You see a lot of pitchers who can pitch, but suck at fielding their position.

Manny who?

Waw Robinson Cano really stinks
This is the 2nd game in a weak that he kills a rally with GIDP to finish the game!!!!!

I'll say it for MassGal.
He gets the final out in MFY games more than anyone else, it seems.

Classy
Not everyone would tip their cap when they walked off the diamond on the hook for a loss. Nice, Derek
