Roll The Dice-K Already

American food. Japanese food. Completely different, right? Well, how different is American baseball from Japanese baseball? Apparently not at all to Daisuke Matsuzaka (dubbed "Dice-K" by the media and Fenway Faithful) who proved successful for the Red Sox, beating the Kansas City Royals 6-1 with 108 pitches, 74 of those for strikes. Let me repeat that: 74 of those for strikes! His start was even televised in Japan, with viewers waking up at 3am just to get a glimpse of their fellow countryman. I have one thing to say, and one thing only: he'd better live up to that $52 million price tag the BoSox put on his head.
