10K Day

Yesterday was Dice-K's first stint on the mound in regular season play. If you haven't heard by now that he pitched seven innings and had ten strike outs you probably haven't been listening. It's been all over radio, tv, and the papers. In fact ten of same letter hit the big font headlines on the newspapers this morning. Both the Boston Herald and the Boston Globe carried pretty much the same headline: “Dice-KKKKKKKKKK” (though the Herald used more hyphens and was a bit more clever with the inside story title: Nothing Lost in Translation). No doubt the Japanese pitching superstar has brought his fame and focus to Boston – and if he can keep up with 100% wins and a 1.29 ERA we'll be even more excited (and likely get all our furniture from Jordan's for free).
