All right Mr Moderator, you win!! Recently I have had several of my posts pulled on Baseball talk 101 because they were lacking......to say the least in baseball content. So I have only baseball content for this post. (for the most part anyway)
Are you a little fed up with these touted phenom wonder arms racking in the cash from Japan, only to belly flop when they get here. I am speaking of the Dodgers Hideki Kuroda, if memory serves correctly they paid him like 45 million for a couple, three years or such, and so far, aside from an opening day win he has been as flat as a pancake.
Now I bet you guys in Boston are shaking your heads saying yep last year we had "Dice-K" (didn't really follow Boston, however I didn't here great things about him latter in the season either). Do you think all those pitchers from Japan think they are Hideo Nomo. Please don't misunderstand me, I am not saying I don't want to see any more players from Japan come over here and try to compete. I just don't want to keep flippin the bill that these owners keep paying these guys.
Kinda sort-a reminds me of a few of my collegues grumbling about taking out some of these buyers these days that just don't make the grade either, wasting there gas. Just goes to show you, you never know who is going to come up big in the clutch. Oh yeah his name is Blake Dewitt, rookie third baseman for the Dodgers. As of tonight he is 6-6 with 12 RBI's with the bases loaded. Not bad for a guy playing double A ball last year.
Oh well I guess such is life in the big leagues.
Looking for a long ball in the ninth, down by one and a man on first with two out.

Yeah! alright an update on the Dodgers pitcher Hideki Kuroda. I finally got his second win tonight.(May 21) I knew if I wrote something a little negative about him he would come around. Now I need to come up with something for Lowe and Penny. They have really stunk up the park in each of there last few outings.
