Japan News: The Seibu Lions called on Daisuke Matsuzaka and their young ace came through with a two-hit shutout in a 9-0 whipping of the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks at Fukuoka Dome on Sunday afternoon, trimming the Pacific League leaders edge over second-place Seibu to 3! games.
Matsuzaka (16-6), who was hammered his last time out against Daiei, struck out 14 and walked one in a game that was a 1-0 pitchers' duel until Alex Cabrera's three-run home run in the top of the sixth inning.
"There was never any feeling that we were going to score," said Hawks skipper Sadaharu Oh. "Matsuzaka was the best he's been all year."
Remember this name...you'll see him in the majors in a few years!

School, Bball & Kyoto
Another day at school, students were all tired. Maybe because it was from the Sports Day practice during 1st period. For the 7th graders, shiro team won both races! The boys did a catepillar race (which was funny to see when teams fell) and the girls did a 3 & 5 legged relay race around our makeshift track.
Had bball practice. Since it was about 26C (80F) and easily 85% humidity, being in the warm gym wasn't pleasant. Participated in most of the drills except for the ones that were a little strange. We got to finally run a 5 on 5 drill, full court. Was fun to play with the girls' assistant coach, we were both dishing out da dimes. It's always nice to play with somebody who appreciates and recognizes your valiant efforts at moving w/o the ball.
Came back into the teachers' room and talked with Takahashi sensei and Takeuchi sensei. Takeuchi learned of my plans of takin' my buddies to Kyoto and asked if I had plans. He called his travel agent and had them fax over all their pamphlets. After numerous calls, we booked my shinkansen (bullet train) tix as well as a Japanese ryokan (hotel that comes with an authentic Kyoto dinner and a nice japanese garden). If I'm going to Kyoto, gotta do it right, no? I owe Takeuchi sooooooooo much for taking care of this for me. It ended up being around $50 cheaper than I was quoted earlier in the day! Bonus baby!
After tearing my apartment upside down, the search for my dear digicam (digital camera) has proven futile! There's one more place that I can check...it's the last place on my "list"...but who knows. I feel bad cuz I just got my 256 MB memory stick! Well...I AM goin' to go to Akihabara on Wednesday, hmmmmm....
Aite, I'm gonna call it a night soon, got a big day ahead of me tomorrow. Picking up Brandon and Thuy @ Narita @ around 16:30ish. Be prepared for some interesting future posts! T-minus, 16 hours before liftoff!!!!
Peace out ya'll!!!
Kaz out...
