Dicey-K

He started tonight's game by walking the bases loaded. He gave up a 5 spot in the top of the first to Seattle, and gave up 7 earned before his night was over after 5 (while walking 5 and hitting a batter). But Manny and the Sox bailed him out and they ended up winning 8-7.

This is the difference between New York and Boston. In the Bronx, everybody would be talking about what an overpaid bum Matsuzaka is, already (see Irabu, Hideki). But in Boston, they won so who cares?

For the record, after 6 starts, Dice-K is 3-2 with a 5.45 ERA, 39 K's and 15 BB in 38 IP and a 1.32 WHIP. His first three starts were great (even though he went 1-2), and his last three have been pretty bad (even though he won twice). I hate to say I told you he's going to have an up and down season...but I did, so I will.
