Sorry, Yuki, no release date has been set yet for the next SDR CD. If I'm not mistaken, they're not even finished recording it yet. I'll check into it and see if I can get any information for you.

Edit: Okay, asked. Response? "Right now, it's a secret." So that's what I've got so far, but I'll find out whatever I can!

Thanks Rachel ! I thought I missed it.

I hope Okajima and Matsuzaka don't make big mistake anymore....Boos are terrible.

^^^ There's a Japanese player on the Rockies too, right?

I think it's really cool that Japanese players are all over the place nowadays.

(and I think us fans should cut Matsuzaka some slack. I like both him and Okajima.)

DJRose

I prefer Hideki Matsui, personally.

Kazuo Matsui on Rockies.
The baseball came from U.S.A. so they want to try in U.S.A.

Yes, Red Sox won ! I think Mastuzaka has a funny face.

Katie, wow! You're in a picture with Andy!!! Did you just totally die??

dollarflame6

hahaha, Katie, that halloween story is awesome- I can just picture you starting to talk about the Andy and that guy shouting like a maniac.
That pic is so sweet! You can just see in your smile how amazing the night and the moment was. And you look so pretty! I love your hair!

Yuki, loool! That picture is perfect! I think he looks cute- and he's so friendly! He always is smiling.
There's a whole new love for Japan here because of him.
For example, now the stores sell this:

And people wave Japanese flags in the stands.
We call him Dice-K. I don't know why- has that always been his nickname?
Because of that, this is everywhere:


When he first came, there was even more.

I can explain that. His first name is Daisuke. The first syllable of which sounds like the word "Dice". Hence the Dice. And the K is because he's a pitcher who strikes people out a lot - and the "K" is used to refer to an individual strikeout. Haven't you ever seen when there's people in the stands who hang large letter Ks to enumerate strikeouts?

So, Dice-K. Daisuke. If you say it out loud it makes sense.

oh! I knew it was a play of his name, but I didn't know why- it seemed like a random manipulation of the letters in his name to me. But it makes perfect sense now since K means strikeout. Thanks for the explanation, Rachel
haha, I feel stupid and enlightened at the same time.

some more:
this Dunkin Donuts sign:



This is from the Boston Globe-


A drink named after Dice-K:


And these guys


And this is what everybody wore at his debut. I remember that day- Kenmore Sq full of ppl in Dice-K headbands (most were homemade tho):


We love him

And this isn't Dice-K, but we have a HUGE "Yankees suck" culture (we have hats and shirts and everything) and this is the official Yankees Suck Kid:


I think I love all this Sox culture more than the game itself, actually.

Funny you should say that... Because, I said a total of 9 words to him. "Oh my God" and "Could I get a picture please?"... When he looked over at us and smiled, I turned around and said Oh my God, and then we took a picture, and when I went to get my camera I said it again. I guess he laughed and smiled again. But yeah, that was my BIG moment...


I'm seriously an ass. But it was worth it. For those of you who listen to Secret Dakota Ring, I had a line from the song A Year and a Day stuck in my head... when he says "you used to say i was the sweetest little puppy every time every time you looked in my eyes"... and, it's true. hahaha But no, he was so sweet and awesome and even though I only said those few words it didn't really matter, except for the fact I feel like a total ass.

dollarflame6

aw! Katie! That is so perfectly beautiful! That song was in your head- it made the moment so lovely!

Sorry Rachel about the Yankees suck pic I added- Yankees suck except for you jk

Aww Katie I bet you were as excited to meet him as I was Tim. I bet Andy had the this girl is a really big fan of mine vibe. Lol.

canoe7grape

i didn't actually see his reaction to when i said it, but i was assured it was a genuine smile/laugh.

thank god.



he's truly a sweet heart. we also got the whole "thanks for coming out tonight" bit, to which i replied with.... absolutely nothing but a very anxious head nod. i do NOT get like this around people EVER, completely NOT me... but again. doesn't matter. all was worth it

LOL, no worries. Although it does bother me that no one sees any problem with a picture of a toddler flipping the bird.

And Katie and Christy - I totally know how you feel. Congrats, girls.
