Kings & Commies
Food, baseball, and liberal politics. Is there anything more you can ask for?

Going, Going, GONG!
As you can see, the Yanks swept their home series against the Cleveland Indians. They are now set to play three games at Fenway Park. It is April, but we are pretty excited for this series.
We think we have the edge in Pettite vs. Schilling and for Saturday we will keep the image of Josh Beckett walking in runs during last year's Boston Massacre II, but the game we're really looking forward to is Sunday when Daisuke Matsuzaka debuts against the Yankees.
You see we bet our buddy Joe that if Dice-K beats the Yankees in his first start, for a full day at our high school, we'll wear a silky robe that Japanese-American kindergarten girls wear on Girl's Day. Obviously, when we made this bet, we weren't expecting that minor league call up Chase Wright would be our starter. Really, we weren't. But Wright did have a solid debut this week against the Indians and a lot of that had to do with the good movement he gets with his two different curveballs. On his pitching, Wright says, "I see myself as a left-handed Tim Hudson. He gets after it when he's on the mound, which is like me. He's a bulldog, which actually was my nickname in high school, because I go right after batters."
From the way the Yanks have been hitting lately, we're still think its entirely possible Dice-K's Yanks debut will be folly. And we DO have a "bulldog" on our side. At least that is what we keep telling ourself.
NOTE: And we like our title. What say you?
