Hiroki Kuroda - Welcome to the Bronx. This guy threw an absolute gem in front of the sellout home opener crowd and I'm lovin it. 8 innings of flawless ball against a very good team? Made Albert Pujols want to head back to the NL. This is the AL version of Hiroki Kuroda right here. Guy was basically lights out. Working different pitches, keeping people guessing, and generally being dominant. This guy took a ton of heat all week from people saying he wasn't worth 10 Mil. Couldnt pitch in the AL, didn't have the stuff the for East Coast, and on and on and on. Pretty sure everyone's going to be praising him all weekend after he turned in the best pitching performance for the Yanks so this year. Well done sir. Hope your having a couple extra Sapporo tonight.
Also - this guy needs a nickname. A couple more starts like this and I may start calling him the Ninja. Or maybe Super Kuroda?
Finally - I'd just like to point out that local Boston business's are clearly doing everything possible to help the team forget about last year's whole Beer and Chicken thing. Priceless fat kid with #1 finger in front of fried chicken joint right here. Keep up the good work in Boston!
