Random Thoughts – August 20th
Do You Trust Dice K?

The Red Sox won last night behind another dominating yet totally underwhelming Dice K performance and were able to keep pace with the lucky Tampa Bay Devil Rays who continue to feast on the tomato cans of the American League. Yes I said the Drays are lucky. Did anybody notice how they scored their fucking runs in the 8th last night? Going into the bottom of the inning they were trailing 2-1 after basically getting no hit through 6 innings. Then in the 8th it goes Walk, Sac Bunt error, Walk, Strikeout, Walk, Strikeout, base hit, strikeout. To summarize, 3 walks, one error, one hit and 3 whiffs and they score 3 runs. Ha! That shit can’t last forever! Enjoy it while it last bitches.
Anyway speaking of shit that can’t last forever, I don’t trust Dice K as far as I can bowl him. Listen I know there is a school of thought out there that thinks Matsuzaka has mastered the art of having no control and still winning games. These people say the results speak for themselves. That he's always going to walk people and throw a ton of pitches, but it's part of his gameplan. Well if you believe that then you're an idiot. You can’t consistently walk people and have the bases loaded every fucking inning. You just can’t do it. There has NEVER been a good pitcher in the history of the baseball that pitches that way. Yes, Dice K has gotten away with it this year. But that doesn’t mean shit. Next game, next month, next year it is bound to fall apart. And when it’s playoff time and the hitters are better and more selective, this little not throwing strikes routine is going to get old fast. It’s rule #1 in baseball. You can’t walk guys and expect to win. This shit may fly in the regular season, but it won’t work in the post season when it counts. He’ll be lucky to get out of the 5th inning and god knows we don’t have the bullpen to handle that type of piss poor effort.
