Daisuke Matsuzaka made his return from the WBC-induced DL stint and turned in a Dice K-worthy outing-5 innings, 80 pitches-on the way to a 5-3 loss at Fenway tonight.
After Big Bad Gary Sheffield took him over the Wall for a 1-0 lead, Dice Man fell apart in the fourth-after a double and a walk to Sheffield, three RBI singles pushed across Mets for a 4-1 lead that Boston would not recover from.
David Ortiz continued to be frozen in amber, while Jason Varitek continued his resurrection with a homer and has his average all the way back to .246.
There's nothing to be ashamed of in losing to the Great Santana, but anytime the other guys commit 3 errors, you like to think you could win that game.
Ah well.
We go up and we go down. Rollercoaster. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI for one look foward to when they extract his DNA 62 million years in the future, as they construct a Jurassic Ballpark from genetically reconstituted MLB ballplayers.
Just call it "Steroidic Park"
