<center>Daisuke Matsusaka


Dice-K baby! So far we have seen the good, the bad, and the pu-pu. It's April and he is going to redeem himself after losing to the team that would probably would have bombed his home country after losing out on the bid ,if Steinbrenner could get his hands on a nuke. Jokes aside, I still can't spell his friggin name cause my web search for images brought up things I would be arrested for looking at in most countries. But Matsuzaka is 2-2 with a 4.00 ERA and 31 K's. We test this guy out in NY where he will be around an insane amount of cameras - all pointed at him, waiting to deliver the good news that he kicked the Yankees asses!</center></td><td width="248"></td><td width="276">
<center>Andy Pettite


Despite the fact that Andy is most likely also Japansese, he is the 40 year old American vet in this game. I couldnt spell his name either (Did you know its spelled "Pettitte?") but managed to find some statistics. He has started 4 games this year, and has also come out of the bullpen twice in-between starts. This means that we are going to tool on him and score a bunch of runs. </center></td></tr></tbody></table>



NEWS & NOTES:

Red Sox are 1st in the AL East - Yankees are Last. Damn does it feel good to say that.
Schilling is offering $1 million to prove that isn't blood on his sock. And this is news?
dhughes is sick, so that's all for today.


LET'S GO RED SOX!

BANZAI bitches...step on their throats Dice K.

[oldskool138]

^^^^

Arnold from Happy Days?

:D

[Mark_Henderson]

It'll be interesting to see, 5 days later, whether it's Dice-K or the Yankees that have the upper hand the 2nd time around.

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Dice-K's debut at Yankee Stadium. This should be good (or it could be a nightmare) but I'm thinking positive.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Okay, it's GO time!

[oldskool138]

Here's some mojo for the Sox:

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/oldskool138/Pinup4SherilynFennBIG.jpg

It's Sherilyn Fenn from Twin Peaks. (Best show ever!)

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Even though we came away with nothing, it's an encouraging first inning. Looks like Andy doesn't have his best control today.

[oldskool138]

Yeah Papi swung at a crap pitch. Hopefully Pettite doesn't have his best stuff.

Matsui's earlobes are huge. Check it out. Gross!

Speaking of crater-faces, I'm glad Cantu is no longer in the AL East.

[SamBam39]

dice K

[oldskool138]

Dice-KKK!

Robinson strikes out on Friday :D

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

K numbah 3. The Dice Man cometh

[SamBam39]

Let's go top of the order. Work the count get some hits

[SamBam39]

Nice Lugo with the lead off single

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Awesome, Lugo with the 1B. Let's see if he's running!

[SamBam39]

YOOOOOOUKS with the 2 run homer!!!!!

[Mark_Henderson]

Youk!!!

[oldskool138]

Yoooooooook!!!!! 2-run bomb!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Alright Youk!!!

[Buckners Boot]

Youk you beautiful bastard

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Yooks, on the hitter's count! Let's send this guy back to Texas!!!!

[SamBam39]

Your turn Papi!!!!!!!

[SamBam39]

1 out to Manny!!!

[SamBam39]

Captain Intangibles almost handcuffed himself on that play. 2 outs

[Buckners Boot]

Matsui's earlobes are huge. Check it out. Gross!

Speaking of crater-faces, I'm glad Cantu is no longer in the AL East.

His ears make Jorgay's look normal.:icon_hang

Buck

[SamBam39]

On to the bottom of the third. 2-0 Sox

[oldskool138]

The Sox are making Andy work. Good to see.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

The Sox are making Andy work. Good to see.

Indeed. It would be nice to get into that bullpen early and waste them for the series (again :D )!

[oldskool138]

Dice-KKKK!

Doug M.

[Mikiemo83]

poor BP is toast already

is Dougie asking the ump for the ball?

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

That eyechart is easy to read...it's full of K's!! ;)

[SamBam39]

Those calls were darn close. But probably balls.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Ouch! Not good to lose Damon after having him 0-2

[SamBam39]

Let's get two.

[SamBam39]

Lugo you ham handed son of a bitch!!!!!!

[oldskool138]

Good job Lugo. Can't get the ball out of his glove. Gonzo would have had it. :rolleyes:

[SamBam39]

Bear down Dice. Lets get out of the inning!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Dp!!!

[Mikiemo83]

thank you Youk says Lugo

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Would that have been 2? Or do I want to know?

Edit: Aha, moot point

[SamBam39]

Lugo redeems himself with the DP. 2-0 Sox top of the inning

[oldskool138]

Lugo almost threw the ball away but Youk saved him. Good DP. Now it's time to score some more!

[SamBam39]

Would that have been 2? Or do I want to know?
It was a tailor made double play. He fielded it cleanly but dropped the ball when he went to take it out of his glove

[SamBam39]

1 out Lowell to the anti-Christ

[SamBam39]

Work the count Pettitte is at 60 pitches already

[Mikiemo83]

2-k night for tek

[SamBam39]

That was a major league swing????

[SamBam39]

Covelli first pitch swinging

[Mikiemo83]

no it was a OOPS swing

[oldskool138]

Uh-oh Andy's settling down...against the bottom of the order. There's a shock. :blink:

[SamBam39]

well that got us nothing!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Jeez, did they slip someone else into that Pettitte suit for that inning?

[SamBam39]

Uh-oh Andy's settling down...against the bottom of the order. There's a shock. :blink:Tek and Covelli looked hapless

[SamBam39]

That was a friggin strike

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Damn, Dice-K is getting ahead and then failing to finish off these batters. I don't get it. Like he's being to careful or something (just guessing, as I can't actually watch)

[SamBam39]

What the f was that settle the hell down dumb ass and pitch the ball!!!!

[oldskool138]

Damn, Dice-K is getting ahead and then failing to finish off these batters. I don't get it. Like he's being to careful or something (just guessing, as I can't actually watch)

Looks like he's throwing instead of pitching. Not good. Buckle down buddy!

[SamBam39]

Need an out!!!

[Mikiemo83]

4th inning blues

[Bases Loaded]

Bases Loaded?

It dont matter. I BELIEVE!

[oldskool138]

Ug-ly. Walks the bases loaded....Yikes...

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Come on Dice-K.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Jeez, the guy does this once every game. It's becoming his M.O. I wish he would quit it!

[oldskool138]

Good effort by Manny...but the bases are still loaded with no outs. :icon_hang

[oldskool138]

Jeez, the guy does this once every game. It's becoming his M.O. I wish he would quit it!

That's Dice-K being Clement

[SamBam39]

That a f'in $100m mistake is what it is

[Bases Loaded]

BIG STRIKEOUT!

Thats what Im talking about. Now a DP or another K and this inning is a non-issue.

[oldskool138]

Dice-KKKKK!

Cano 2K's!

Still bases loaded but now 1 out. DP time.

[Bases Loaded]

This is how you do it!

[oldskool138]

Swing and a pop-up... :D

2 out bases loaded...

[Bases Loaded]

And ... he .... STRIKES HIM OUT and Dice-K gets out of a HUGE jam ... score 2-1 Red Sox

[Bases Loaded]

Damn ... a little premature

[Mikiemo83]

a little, you never got undressed

[oldskool138]

Tsk-Tsk-Tsk...

Not good. 3-2 Yanks.

[oldskool138]

4-2 Yankees. Whatever....:rolleyes:

[Bases Loaded]

WOW. This is not good. I'm going to turn off the TV (my superstitious way of getting out of an inning)

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Finally inning over.

[oldskool138]

Thank the gods, it's over...Warm up Kyle Snyder.

[Mikiemo83]

fourth inning keeps getting him

[Mikiemo83]

is Varitek a horse

[Bases Loaded]

is Varitek a horse

I could be wrong, but I dont think so...

[Mikiemo83]

I could be wrong, but I dont think so...then why is someone cleaning his shoes

[oldskool138]

then why is someone cleaning his shoes

Dice-K has his own masseuse. 'Tek has his own spike cleaner.

Lugo with another SB!

[Bases Loaded]

1st and 3rd

[oldskool138]

Good play by the 2006 Gold Glove SS. :rolleyes:

[Bases Loaded]

Papppppi!

[Mikiemo83]

[oldskool138]

RB-PapI!!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Good job Ortiz.

[Mikiemo83]

[Bases Loaded]

[oldskool138]

Bases Loaded for Drew! Time for JD to get some RBI!

[Mikiemo83]

time for drew to get boston to fall in live with him

[Bases Loaded]

Awwww

[Mikiemo83]

you bummmmmm

I really didn't mean that

[oldskool138]

Big whiff...Why do lefties swing at that? That's Andy's specialty. If you know that via the scouting reports and film, why swing???

[Bases Loaded]

YES! Good eye lowell!

[oldskool138]

Andy walks in a run! Another walk in RBI for Mr. Gray

4-4 tie! Nice!

The rally killer is up (sorry Tek)

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Tied game.

[Bases Loaded]

LOVE taking the lead on a passed ball! Thats awesome! 5-4 Sox

[oldskool138]

Passed ball! Ortiz scores!!

5-4 Sox! Sweet!

[southcarolina]

Finally im home

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Yes, Sox leading again.

[Bases Loaded]

Tek has a little Captain in him tonight! Come on Coco!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Bases loaded again.

[oldskool138]

Bases loaded again! Andy is outta there. Here comes Proctor (who else)

[oldskool138]

Coco Mojo!

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/oldskool138/sorvino_mira2.jpg

[oldskool138]

Great one pitch fly-out. Way to work the count Coco...

[SamBam39]

Covelli is a stooge!

[oldskool138]

Dice-KKKKKK!

A-Hole!

[SamBam39]

That was a strike

[SamBam39]

Thank goodness Covelli catches better than he hits

[Bases Loaded]

Hey give Covelli a chance, we are stuck with him whether we like it or not.

Would you rather have him or WMP playing CF?

[oldskool138]

Hey give Covelli a chance, we are stuck with him whether we like it or not.

I'd rather see Jacoby Elsbury or Ichiro. :D

[Bases Loaded]

Luuuuuuuuuugooooooooooo!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Yea, HR Lugo.

[oldskool138]

Lugo with the solo shot!!!

First Red Sox HR! Luuuugo!

[SamBam39]

Thank god he can hit because he can't field worth crap!!!

[SamBam39]

I'd rather see Jacoby Elsbury or Ichiro. :DWhat he said!!!

[SamBam39]

Nice catch by the anti-christ!!!!

[oldskool138]

The new Yankee pitcher?:

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/oldskool138/penn.jpg

[SamBam39]

Papi with the 2 out walk. Lets see if Manny can get some more runs across.

[SamBam39]

Manny getting a head start on halloween this year!

[SamBam39]

Go scare some trick or treaters Manny!!!

[oldskool138]

Go scare some trick or treaters Manny!!!

Manny and the Predator have the same hair-do. Weird. :icon_eyes

[sportman3333333]

Wow, Dice K still in. Lot of confidence in him by Tito right now

Good game so far

[oldskool138]

Wow, Dice K still in. Lot of confidence in him by Tito right now

Good game so far

There's still a long bridge to Paps so, I'd stick with Dice-K as long as I can. A 2 run lead can disappear quickly vs. the Yankees.

[sportman3333333]

There's still a long bridge to Paps so, I'd stick with Dice-K as long as I can. A 2 run lead can disappear quickly vs. the Yankees.

Yep, you are right. He has settled down big time.

109 pitches so far.

[SamBam39]

This is probably his last inning he is over 110 pitches.

[oldskool138]

Dice-KKKKKKK!!!

Robinson with the Hat Trick!

[Mikiemo83]

a strike out

[SamBam39]

That was a nice pitch. Dice K

[SamBam39]

Just what he needed a 1-2-3 job

[Bases Loaded]

Knowing the whole story that Dice-K threw 17 innings and 200+ pitches, then threw a no-hitter the next day ....... why don't they cut him some slack on the pitch count? He could pitch a CG every game, and obviously he doesn't lose anything the longer he pitches. I would like to see it - its better than seeing Romero, Piniero, or Snyder coming in for the 7th.

[Mikiemo83]

alright - keep on hitting

[Mikiemo83]

but yeah let him pitch

*shrugs his shoulders* What are you going to do? Hopefully they can get some more insurance here. Plus, the bullpen really hasn't been tested. Now is a good a time as any.

[SamBam39]

Let's go Lowell

[Bases Loaded]

Yea, I did say the bullpen needs work so Tito can get a read on all of them ... but not against the Yankees.

Happy to see Timlin warming up. Forgot about him. Mabye Okie in the 8th.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

I am declaring that the "K" in Dice-K stands for "Kardiac"

Right now I see him as a good #3 starter - if the O scores runs, he puts us in a position to win - but with a potentially very high ceiling

[oldskool138]

If you're a switch hitter, why don't you switch sides of the plate at random times during the atbat? Wouldn't that mess with the pitcher? I'd like to see somebody like Coco give it a try.

[SamBam39]

Come on Tek catch up with one!! Nope seventh inning stretch

SWEET CAROLINE oh yeah we are in the toilet that Ruth built

[Bases Loaded]

I am declaring that the "K" in Dice-K stands for "Kardiac"

Right now I see him as a good #3 starter - if the O scores runs, he puts us in a position to win - but with a potentially very high ceiling

Don't forget, the only team to tag him so far are the yankees (twice), and it is extremely hard from what I understand to adapt to the Majors coming from another country. Beckett struggled just switching leagues. This entire year will be a learning experience for him - then I believe he will be our Ace. Well, him and Beckett.

[SamBam39]

Yeah he's been ok. Not spectacular. But glimpses of greatness. It seems as if he loses concentration at times during the game and can't locate his pitches. Which usually results in a bad inning. It is a little unsettling. But it is early and he is still learning the league and the hitters so i will cut him a little slack. But IMO for $100m there is little room for error.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

I think that would confuse Coco more than the pitcher :P

[SamBam39]

And that's the night for Dice K. Timlin in to pitch the 7th.

6 IP 5 H 4 R 4 ER 4 BB 7 K

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Yeah he's been ok. Not spectatcular. But glimpses of greatness. It seems as if he loses concentration at times during the game and can't locate his pitches. Which usually results in a bad inning. It is a little unsettling. But it is early and he is still learning the league and the hitters so i will cut him a little slack. But IMO for $100m there is little room for error.

Yeah, it's the glimpses of greatness that give me hope. It's not like he is just tooling along average-ly. He is really REALLY bad-ass, then falls apart for an inning or two. Once he gets his head on straight over here, like I said, he has a very high ceiling.

[oldskool138]

Timlin needs to get himself some hockey gear...He's had a lot of come-backers. One out!

[SamBam39]

And Captain Intangibles fists a single then fists his @ hole

[SamBam39]

OKI warming in the pen

[oldskool138]

Yeah, it's the glimpses of greatness that give me hope. It's not like he is just tooling along average-ly. He is really REALLY bad-ass, then falls apart for an inning or two. Once he gets his head on straight over here, like I said, he has a very high ceiling.

Dice-K has 38 K's through 33 innings pitched. That's pretty good. Growing pains. Wait until he goes up against the D-Rays or Colorado. He'll own bad teams.

[Mikiemo83]

ball size is different, add in the way game is played, language issue - give him time

[SamBam39]

BIG K for Timlin

[oldskool138]

Mi-K-e Timlin!

Abreu!

[SamBam39]

Dice-K has 38 K's through 33 innings pitched. That's pretty good. Growing pains. Wait until he goes up against the D-Rays or Colorado. He'll own bad teams.Fair. But the Sox need to beat the Yankees too!

[Bases Loaded]

swing and a miss ... i love that phrase. esp. against Arod.

[SamBam39]

I think the Sox got a break on that call.


Maybe not. Close but good call!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Fair. But the Sox need to beat the Yankees too!

...which has not yet been a problem :D

[oldskool138]

Whew! If 'Droia's legs were any shorter he doesn't make that play. :blink:

[Mikiemo83]

wow one more high throw from Lowell, nice play by the Denny Doyle wannabee

[oldskool138]

wow one more high throw from Lowell, nice play by the Denny Doyle wannabee

I thought he was supposed to be an Eckstien wannabe. ;)

[SamBam39]

Whew! If 'Droia's legs were any shorter he doesn't make that play. :blink:LOL good point!!

[Bases Loaded]

I thought he was supposed to be an Eckstien wannabe. ;)

I concur

[SamBam39]

I thought he was supposed to be an Eckstien wannabe. ;)Mikie mo is old school like you!!!

[Mikiemo83]

I thought he was supposed to be an Eckstien wannabe. ;)
seeing the old school adopt-a-sox player by DW, I went back a bit in time to Doyle

[SamBam39]

Covelli trying to bunt his way on. Good idea. Too bad it didn't work.

[oldskool138]

seeing the old school adopt-a-sox player by DW, I went back a bit in time to Doyle

We should have Adopt-A-Classic-Sox player along with the current ones :D

[sportman3333333]

Double For Dp!

[Bases Loaded]

Double for Pedroia. Id like to see him get on a roll.

[Mikiemo83]

We should have Adopt-A-Classic-Sox player along with the current ones :Dyeah give me Monty, man played like 50 seasons and only caught 125 games
:blink:

[oldskool138]

2-bagger for 'Droia! Nice! The Little Second Baseman that Could getting it done.

[SamBam39]

Nice hit by Dusty. Double. This kid is getting more comfortable by the day. he is a spark plug

[sportman3333333]

I hate getting the yankee broadcast on MYTV. Ugh, I cant wait for my NESN to come tmrw.

[SamBam39]

yeah give me Monty, man played like 50 seasons and only caught 125 games
:blink:Last player in the majors to bat without a helmet. He used an insert in his game cap.

[Bases Loaded]

Luuuuuuuuugoooooo!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Another RBI for Lugo.

[SamBam39]

Yes Lugo!!!!! Pedroia scores 7-4

[oldskool138]

yeah give me Monty, man played like 50 seasons and only caught 125 games
:blink:

It should be Adopt-An-Obscure-Sox player. I'll take Brian Rose. :D

[sportman3333333]

LUGO Double. DP Scores

Wonderful

[SamBam39]

Lugo is having a very good game at the plate

[Mikiemo83]

Pedria runs like he has a warm load in his pants

[Bases Loaded]

I hate getting the yankee broadcast on MYTV. Ugh, I cant wait for my NESN to come tmrw.

What is MYTV?

[SamBam39]

It should be Adopt-An-Obscure-Sox player. I'll take Brian Rose. :DCan I have Dick the Monster Radatz?

[oldskool138]

LUGO Double. DP Scores

Wonderful

My buddy Laz and I have a saying when watching Red Sox/Yankees games: You can never score too many runs against the NY Yankees.

[SamBam39]

Pedria runs like he has a warm load in his pants
That's the official spark plug trot.

[oldskool138]

Can I have Dick the Monster Radatz?

Radatz isn't nearly obscure enough. You should take Tim Naering. :)

[Mikiemo83]

Can I have Dick the Monster Radatz?he was the man, Eck called the monster out once on weei, Eck had to be loaded, and Rico told Eck to come on down. Rico would have messed Eck up something good. Monster was ill at he time but a great listen

[SamBam39]

COME ON MANNY SINGLE IS A RUN!!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Crap that ball had a lot of movement on it too!

[Mikiemo83]

Crapyou can say that again


Crap

[oldskool138]

he was the man, Eck called the monster out once on weei, Eck had to be loaded, and Rico told Eck to come on down. Rico would have messed Eck up something good. Monster was ill at he time but a great listen

Yeah, those were the days when Eck was on the wagon (or off). All that booze must have preserved his features. He hasn't aged in 20 years. Creepy. Also, it takes balls to have a feathered back hairstyle in this day and age. :)

[oldskool138]

OKI TIME!!!! Let's get to Paps!

[SamBam39]

Radatz isn't nearly obscure enough. You should take Tim Naering. :)What about Scott Cooper?

[sportman3333333]

What is MYTV?

It does yankees game. Excuse me, It is MY9. It says WCTX in the info

OKI is up!

[SamBam39]

you can say that againLOL:)

[SamBam39]

Steroid boy with the single!!! Must have shot up before the game!!!

[SamBam39]

1 out and HGHiambi to second. Let's go OKI!!!!

[Bases Loaded]

Giambi looks like he's gunna explode with steroid juice all over the place.

[oldskool138]

What about Scott Cooper?

Sure! I'll take Brian Daubach

[Mikiemo83]

Sure! I'll take Brian Daubach
come on - Carlos Quintana

[Bases Loaded]

I'm young ... 18 ... so Troy O'Leary was my first favorite Sox player, him and Big Mo.

[oldskool138]

come on - Carlos Quintana

I'm young ... 18 ... so Troy O'Leary was my first favorite Sox player, him and Big Mo.

I was a big Boggs and Gator fan way back in the day.

Coco catches it, WMP would have been a scare

[SamBam39]

Covelli makes the catch and on to the top of the 9th. A couple more runs would be nice for the Sox!!!

I dont think Wily has cought one ball cleanly ... its an adventure every time a ball is going his way.

[sportman3333333]

I am loving Oki, our future set-up guy!

I didnt expect this at all at the begining of the season! I hope there are more suprsies. :D

The Sox d up the middle isn't exactly HoF material.

[SamBam39]

Why the hell is he pitching Fruit Bat??

[sportman3333333]

The yankees bullpen is in complete disarray. The 5th pitcher for them and it only the first game of the series. Rivera is up. This is looking good for the sox in the next 2 games.

[Mikiemo83]

Rivera is going, lets hit him hard Drew

Current setup guy, sportman. Hes been brought in the 8th now multiple times, and even that close against the Yanks. When you see Timlin pitching the 7th, you know Okie has taken the spot.

[oldskool138]

The Sox d up the middle isn't exactly HoF material.

Wait 'till we get Hunter, Ichiro, A-Rod (at SS) or Elsbury next year.

[oldskool138]

Gotta take the bat off your shoulder JD. :rolleyes:

[Mikiemo83]

Why the hell is he pitching Fruit Bat??because Torre promised not to pitch him in the 8th :icon_pidu

[southcarolina]

Why the hell is he pitching Fruit Bat??

Its all part of his stratagy to pitch every relief pitcher in every single game. It worked wonders with Tom Gordon.
