Red Sox Win
Romero and Papelbon finish off the Royals, and Daisuke Matusaka earns his first major league win. It was an impressive outing, and he showed signs of why the Red Sox were willing to invest in bringing him to Boston. Once he warmed up, he showed great movement and great location on his pitches. Tickets for opening day at Fenway just got a little more expensive today.
And the Royals have to be happy with Zach Greinke's outing. With better defense, this game might still be tied. Two fine 2007 debuts.

Orel Hershiser says Daisuke could win 14 games!
I will agree, Dice K was very good but that was expected. I am more please with Greinke's outing. If Meche and Greinke can pitch anything like their first outings there is no way the Royals lose 100 games this year.
That IF is a big IF when talking about Meche. He had a good outing opening day, but that is the way he is, can he do that consistently? I seriously doubt it and so did the Mariners, that is why he is no longer there.
I'm REALLY stoked to see what happens the second and third times through for Greinke and Meche. As a Royals fan, it's been a long time since I could be really excited for the season. (Also, it doesn't hurt that the hot new 3B gives me a great excuse for a Gordon jersey. :--) )
