Daisuke Mania Manifest in Fenway
Yea, the Dice Man Cometh
Dice-K's Debut
Yesterday, 26 year old Daisuke Matsuzaka, now know as Dice-K to Red Sox Nation, pitched in his Fenway debut. Unfortunately, he lost. The spoiler, a young man named Hernandez usurped Dice-K's debut by throwing a one-hitter at the hapless Red Sox bats.
Number 18, Daisuke Matsuzaka
Matsuzaka is now 1 & 1 as a Red Sox pitcher, and although not as sharp as in his previous win in KC, he did pitch well enough to win most games, but his opponent pitched an incredible game by any standard, a stellar, outstanding performance by Hernandez who many believe, at the age of 21, is on his way to an All Star career. We hope the same is also true of Dice-K.
This should be an interesting season, as the Red Sox reloaded on pitching in the off season, and the Yankees also strengthened their ranks, but other teams too are much improved and are ready to challenge the big spending Sox and Yanks for the AL pennant.
The 103 Million Dollar Man
So, Mt. Hope contingent of Red Sox Nation, take a bow, and welcome in the Dice-K Era.
