I'm not going to try to claim that Dice-K didn't impress in his first start, he did. But after reading the press this morning you would think that Jesus was resurrected on the Thursday before Easter. Let's put this in perspective, this is the Kansas City Royals and he is a new pitcher they never saw before. After a few at bats they did start to hit him around a little. What is really being lost here is if you take out the KC defense and the bad call that cost KC at least one run the game story would be different. The real story would be that Greinke out pitched Matsuzaka for 7 innings against the great Boston offence.

What I ment was a big deal ESPN (Also known as NESN2) made when Pappy hit that homer off a closer that didn't belong in the game.Then Wednesday NESN2 went nuts over another Red Sox walkoff when it was really about a complete collapse of the Cleveland bullpen. I am agreeing that Ortiz deserves the MVP as it stands now, but if he falls closer to the pack the DH thing becomes a major issue. Also the average isn’t great and that can come into play if Jeter gets the batting title.

As much as I hate to admit it if the season ended today he should be MVP but he will cool off I'm sure. Cleveland's Rookie closer helped him alot last week and he just blew another one last night. I still think the DH thing plays a big part with the voters. Here's what the post has to say on the subject. http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/mvp__yankees_kevin_kernan.htm

If Pedro was offered the same money from the Yankees as the Mets he would have jumped at a chance to be in Pinstripes.

TB's third base coach saved the game for the Red Sox, what a idiot to send him. He was out by 30 feet.

Last time the Yanks came back from 9 runs down it was against the Red Sox. The Yankees overcame a nine-run deficit for the fourth time in their storied history. The last time they did it was a 12-11 win in 10 innings against the rival Red Sox on June 26, 1987. Boston's starter in that one was Roger Clemens.

Sorry but you should check the line, he gave up 3 HR and 5 ER

That's two rough outings in a row. Hey Josh, wecome to the American League.

I was just pointing out the irony. Think how we felt about these pitchers two weeks ago.

Who would think that at the end of April that Shawn Chac?n and Josh Beckett would have the same record and ERA!

I think at the end of the season all managers should vote on bad umps. If you get 80% or more think you stink.....bye bye!

Jeter has been with more famous hot women then you could yank your wank to, and I think the real homo comes to a fight in his catchers mask.

That’s the way I felt in 1979 and 1980 then 15 years went by and I was like “What happened”

Someday soon you may be looking back at the glory days of Kevin Millar and the 2004 RS.
