Dazzling Debut

Daisuke Matsuzaka’s Red Sox debut was simply brilliant yesterday.  He pitched seven strong innings and struck out 10 Kansas City (Missouri) Royals.  He earned his first Major League victory by allowing only a single run.  Matsuzaka’s performance was even better than I predicted (6.1 IP, 5H, 2BB, 7K, 2ER, 107 Pitches – over at “Matsuzaka Watch”).

I wish the game times were the typical 7PM starts.  It’s frustrating at the beginning of the season not being able to follow the games live on TV or radio.

Glad to see that Jeter is making errors at a steady clip this season.  Maybe the voters will finally smarten up and stop giving him undeserved Gold Glove awards.  Also glad to see ARod in mid-season choke form.  Bases loaded in the 8^th and he pops up a meatball of a pitch.  I think I heard the “boos” from outside the window last night.
