Is the media more obsessed with Matsuzaka than Red Sox Nation?

This game wouldn't have even been on if it wasn't for D-mat. A lot of ST games aren't. I'm considering myself lucky i got to see 2 innings.

Gotta agree with the Kid. The only reason the game was on and I watched was to see Dice-K. Now we can sleep soundly knowing that he can dominate college hitters!

i would have rather watched kyle.

I'll be interested in Dice K when he faces a major league line-up. For spring training, I want to see the young guys who've been busting their butts for the opportunity to play in a major league uniform. As a New Hampshire resident and long-time KJ supporter, I wanted to see him pitch and am grateful that our local paper had a big picture of him and a small photo of Matsuzaka. Nothing against our new Japanese phenom, but KJ was the more exciting event in this household.

Way to go, Kyle. So glad you didn't give up baseball when that AAU coach told you that you weren't good enough to travel with your team to the national tournament (2 years in a row). Wonder what that coach is saying now.
