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. . .

[In defense of Leyland]
And how many other stoopid questions were asked before that stoopid question, I wonder.
Leyland is often very succint. Recently, after one of his own players [Bonderman, I think] was injured, Leyland said (paraphrased), "...he's out, next question."
Congratulations to the Red Sox. They bid, bought and got Daisuke Matsuzaka for 6 years for the bargain basement cost of 103,000,000.
They have the pitcher who is 4th in wins, 4th in K and 5th in Innings pitched.
He has the appearance of being a nice person and of being very cool.
