Dice-K Impresses
Daisuke Matsuzaka baffled the Pirates yesterday. This is telling:
But that seemed like nitpicking on a day in which scouts sitting behind home plate said Matsuzaka touched 94 miles per hour with his fastball and Kelly, among other Pirates, sat in front of a laptop in the clubhouse, trying to determine what pitches they'd just seen from Matsuzaka.
I've heard second hand stories that the reason the Red Sox paid a high price for Matsuzaka is that their experts watched video of Dice-K and couldn't figure out what pitches he was throwing. It's that element of deception that earned Matsuzaka the big money.

It's also difficult to tell what pitches Lenny DiNardo is throwing, but that's because he sucks and they're all flat. He should've received $51 mil...
The Gyro ball is 50% hype & 50% screwball as thrown by a RHP. Just like UFO sightings, this is a kid's game of telephone. Gonna be a fun season. BTW I wanna extra juice onna my gyro because I like ah da juice. . ..
well, i can't wait to see what barry lamar Himself thinks of the pitches cuz the giants gonna face the redsox in june. roids or no roids, the man got a batting eye on him like nobody else.
