OMG! Mariners taking Dice-K to the cleaners!

[Grizalltheway]

5-0 after 1 inning!xeekx Is this guy Jeff Weaver, or what? xlolx

[UNHWildCats]

lets not mention the two lugo erors huh or the fact that Seattle had 1 hit in the inning.

Oh ya Boston tied it with 5 in the 2nd.

[Grizalltheway]

I know I know, I jinxed them. xoopsx xbangx

[griz37]

Isn't Dice K supposed to be the greatest player in the history of baseball? :p

[Cleets]

Isn't Dice K supposed to be the greatest player in the history of baseball? :p

Yup..

Dice-K then Babe Ruth... (in that order) Why do you ask..? xlolx


( I love the boston press)

[Col Hogan]

Bottom of the fourth, 7-5 Sox

Dice K did not let that first get to him...Seattle has only two hits so far...

[UNHWildCats]

yea the reversed one of Lugos errors, hes been lights out since the 1st.

Manny absoloutly crushed one its 7-5

[UNHWildCats]

Msnny docked his second homer of the night in the 8th and Boston wins 8-7

Boston will have atleast a 5 game lead over everyone when the nights over/

[Reed Rothchild]

Why isn't sportscenter, baseball tonight, and the national press all over this one???? Dice-K hasn't exactly been worth all the hype recently.

[lambertjr]

What did they pay for this guy?? 50 mil.?

[UNHWildCats]

$51.11 million dollars was paid to the Seibu Lions for the transfer fee.

His contract is for 6 years and around $52 million

[lambertjr]

103+ Million!!! He better not lose another game.

[PaladinFan]

For the yanks and sox, money is no object.

Who was it that said this guy is going to win 100 games in 6 years? Seriously, you want to watch good pitching go check out Smoltz and Hudson.

[Mod33]

He's on pace for 16 wins this season and if u run that pace over 6 seasons its 96 wins. and you gotta think hes only gonna get better as he gets more accustomed to the new enviornment. So 100 over 6 years. very possible

[Reed Rothchild]

103+ Million!!! He better not lose another game.

If he was a Yankee and playing like this, it would be the lead story every night on Sportscenter. But since he plays for the Bristol RedSox, everyone says he'll be ok. I don't get why Boston always gets the pass, especially when they finished 3RD last year. Eveyone would be killing the Yanks if they would have gotten Dice-K. Since he's in Boston, he gets 3 months of hype and a free pass.

You know, you act as if hes getting hit around like Jeff Weaver or Kei Igawa....

Yea his ERA is a tad high. But he hasnt given up many solid hits, hes had a lot of bloop hits and he has had some control problems as he gets used to the american strike zones as well as a completely different type of baseball.

He's allowed 2 HR in nearly 40 innings, while Yankee ground ball masterpiece theatre Chien-ming Wang has given up 3 in half the innings. Igawa has allowed 8.

xnonox No comparisons to Igawa please.

Igawa was not anticipated to be an ace. He was brought in (and grossly overpaid as a reaction to the Dice-K signing) to battle for the 5th spot in the rotation. He has been getting rocked but has shown some signs of promise.

I agree that Dice-K isn't pitching bad. Hitters are less than .250 against him. Nevertheless, if he was pitching like this for New York he, Torre, Cashman, and Steinbrenner would be getting killed. He gets a pass because he's playing for Boston.
