And the three pitch fly out to center to close the 1-2-3 inning.

This guy's arm hasn't been ####ified like the average MLB pitcher's arm has. I'd like to see him out there for one more, you're probably right that he's done though.

The battle for the #2 seed in the NBA playoffs....a coach turning down Kentucky AND 4 million a year to not stay at a football school.....the better question is are YOU serious? Or do you honestly think a #3 pitcher on a 3rd place team making his debut is a bigger story?Are you serious??

Right, which is why Ichiro didn't win it.

at you hanging your hat on the bolded part. Who gives a #### where he sits in the order of the rotation and where the Sox finished last year?

There was backlash against Matsui a few years later when people refused to vote for him and Angel Berroa won the award. But there is no official rule.Right...I thought he was the player that sparked the debate...anything ever come from that?Right, which is why Ichiro didn't win it.

DiceK is the biggest story of the YEAR for ALL OF BASEBALL! Of course his debut should be the top story on SC.

I can agree with that. Would you put Nomo ahead of them all or did his hype start after he started pitching well?' date='Apr 5 2007, 04:44 PM' post='6570881']

There was no question that Matsuzaka was coming out after a long inning like that.
I'm looking forward to (probably) seeing Papelbon's season debut in the 9th.

tough call there.. wasn't familiar enough with the nomo phenomena. If given the choice between Matsui or Ichiiro I'd take Matsui though.... big fan of the guy. Easily my favorite Yankee.I can agree with that. Would you put Nomo ahead of them all or did his hype start after he started pitching well?' date='Apr 5 2007, 04:44 PM' post='6570881']

And Papelbon gets the save with a 1-2-3 inning with 2 Ks.

COlin tell us more about the exciting coaching changes and how the two teams that have had a playoff spot locked up since before the season started are jockeying for a seed that won't matter until the third round of the playoffs if they both win out? It's all very, very exciting.

Until the 8th, this was a helluva game. I know 99% of teh country only cares about the BOS side of the matchup, but Greinke pitched his #### off today. The bad call @ 2B on German which was followed by Brown's RBI single really was the turning point. if German scores there, it is 2-2.
Dice-K was all he was cracked up to be, but Greinke was almost as good today, and that should not be lost on anyone.

Watched this one at work, reminded me of latter-years Pedro. Dice-K isn't striking out 300 guys or anything, but Pedro in his later years with Boston was still a dominant pitcher. Matsuzaka is easily worth the money that was paid out, and I just hope Kei Igawa can put up half the wins and K's this guy will.
Greinke was awesome, and made Papi Ortiz look particularly bad several times.
I think that in America, the Dice-K and Ichiro hype trumped the Matsui hype. But over in Japan, I think Matsui is still a much bigger deal than either of those guys. He's their Babe Ruth, and I would surmise that the Japanese media that follows him around (especially that first year) rivals any player at any time in all of sports.

That can't be. Didn't some coach turn down a job somewhere? And isn't there a big golf tournament?
