I'm assuming they allowed it because they were getting daily reports and have people in Japan anyway and Dice was on pitch limits.<br /><br />The whole "stealing money" is a bit much.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-65925499149492131622009-05-28T07:41:56.000-07:002009-05-28T07:41:56.000-07:00Every guy who played in that stupid WBC did it by ...Every guy who played in that stupid WBC did it by choice, and all of them were trying to win for their country. If Dice had stunk in that would you still blame his performance so far on it? When Pedro struck out those dudes at the '99 ASG, it was this great moment that we all loved, but then he had one of the worst starts of his career next time out. <br /><br />I don't blame Dice's attitude toward the WBC--I blame baseball for having the stupid thing in the first place.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-10431552098404227202009-05-28T07:19:25.878-07:002009-05-28T07:19:25.878-07:00CoopSoxGM38 said...

Two months of unproductive pitching, including a stint on the DL, not too mention the money they are paying him, is the price being paid because of his participation in the WBC. If he was so committed to representing his country and pitching in the WBC, he should have stayed in Japan instead of coming here and stealing the money. Right now, I feel like that's what he's doing.<br />And, why is it that he seems to be so stubborn on the mound when it comes to shaking off the catcher and basically pitching his own style when it is strongly suggested that he adapt a little more to baseball in the U.S.<br />I think it's time for Red Sox management to start being a little more firm with this guy. Who's the "employer"? <br />I don't know about anyone else but, now that he's beginning his 3rd season here, I'm expecting a lot more from this so called phenom.<br />Remember all the hoopla when acquiring him? <br />Yes, I know that he won 18 games last year, but he wasn't exactly dominant for all of those wins. He had a lot of run support.<br />I'd rather be waterboarded than watch him pitch.<br />As a fan, so far, I feel cheated.<br />Disappointed and Disgusted!<br />What's everyone else's opinion?CoopSoxGM38https://www.blogger.com/profile/04354836069668291626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-85167243316209542352009-05-27T20:25:12.247-07:002009-05-27T20:25:12.247-07:00bleh. g'night all.
