What is the deal with Daisuke Matsuzaka nickname. It is not very original. It is just the proper pronunciation of his first name. That is ridiculous. I mean, has even earned the major league right to use the letter K in his nickname. He has not even struck out one batter yet. Does he gamble a lot? Can somebody come up with a nickname for this guy. How about the Kamikaze Kid or the Bonsai Hurler. Even Dice man would be more appropriate I'll tell you one thing Dice-K does not stand up to Lou Da Douche or The Machine to any extent. Post any other nicknames you can come up with in the comments.

Daisuke (dice-k). Anatomy of a Nickname.

His website says his names pronounced "dice-ke" so I guess they dropped an e. I mean, I guess it should technically be considered a nickname. It was a gamble to get him (never pitched in the majors) making the dice part ok and he's a pitcher "making the K part ok".
I went to his "video" links: http://www.daisukematsuzaka.com/video.html and the video that autoplays when opening the page is him hitting a homerun. That'll do a lot of good in the AL. I am jealous of the Red Sox for getting this guy. Wish the Mets got the high bid (which is a retarded process that should probably be reviewed btw, I mean can't we put these nips up on e-bay like anything else?). I don't really have any good nickname ideas for him. Maybe just call him a gook or a chink (very dishonering to nips). Buggs Bunny would now how to handle this guy...

I want to go to Fenway in order to hold up this sign:
"First Math and Science, and now Baseball? We need another run from the Enola Gay!"
the bidding process is actually similar to soccer. You have to give a transfer fee to the international team to release him to another team outside of your league, before that team can negotiate a contract.
