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.

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

You can't go wrong with the West Coast cities this time of year.
Portland, Seattle, San Francisco are all nice right about now. (Well, west San Francisco proves Mark Twain’s quip about the coldest winter he ever spent, but the Bay is nice.)
The Sox are in Oakland last week of July.
Hit the Bay area, stay in San Fran, catch a game, explore Napa, Big Sur and the Redwoods.

I've thought about living there after I graduate from college
But it seems way too expensive, my sister was going to rent a studio in Manhatten for $4,000 a month even though it didn’t even have a bedroom/bed.

That's highway robbery, even by Manhattan standards.
$2K/month should be the upper limit for a studio.
You'd think it would cap there
But there is no shortage of 20-something women who will do anything to live in the perceived glamor of NY.

It is very expensive.
But $4000 is insane. We pay $2000 for a great two bedroom with a backyard in a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn. Still a shit-ton of money, but not $4000.
Manny ain't the only bad man.

I think you’ve got the right idea with that part. Everything seems to pretty much double in price in Manhatten.

I don't know if it's good for a week-long trip
I like day trips to NYC when I’m visiting my family in CT, but I don’t know if it’s the best place for that long.
I might agree.

The Globe's Ben Collins is the best baseball blogger ever!!!
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)!

One of the most hilarious things I've ever seen
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.
Then there’s Wakefield: a sea of green spread out all over the strike zone and beyond.
It was like Sesame Street: “One of these things is not like the others.”

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?

I just think that adultering isn’t that big of an issue on a baseball player. I mean, I couldn’t care less about who he’s nailing. If he starts reaching for the tits of a woman in the crowd, then it’s a problem.

Moral character counts, too.
Teammates have to trust each other to do what’s best for the team. If you get caught in a situation that becomes bad press, it creates a media circus, which makes it harder for everybody to get their jobs done.
I'm just concerned that he's cheating with other players' wives.
Then it’s a performance issue.
