Gee, Skip. How do you feel now? "I was very impressed," he said. "He's the real deal."
Dice-K's first MLB complete game (120+ pitches), but more impressive to me was that he didn't have his one-inning meltdown that he'd been through in previous starts. He seemed mentally sharp for the whole game, which should be a given, but has not always been true in his starts this season.
And hey, at least the Yankees didn't lose last night. 'Course, they didn't play. . .
