Boston Herald: Dice-K’s CG fails to impress Detroit

... Boston Herald: Dice-K’s CG fails to impress Detroit I guess “I don’t give a (expletive) about him has become the team slogan. Even though the Red Sox right-hander held them to only six hits in a complete-game, 7-1 victory, the defending American League champions gave the impression that the anticipation for, say, “Great Expectations” ended up being as fulfilling as a decent, dime store paperback. ...“He was all right,” Detroit third baseman Brandon Inge (0-for-3) said. “It took a while to get used to him. . . . He didn’t stand out to me like the most dominating thing I’ve ever seen.” Tigers first baseman Sean Casey (0-for-3) also wasn’t about to anoint the game’s next superstar. “This is the big leagues,” Casey said. “There are a lot of good pitchers in the big leagues, and he’s one of them.”

Even though the Red Sox right-hander held them to only six hits in a complete-game, 7-1 victory, the defending American League champions gave the impression that the anticipation for, say, "Great Expectations" ended up being as fulfilling as a decent, dime store paperback.

Yet he didn't exactly win over the Tigers with the five-strikeout, no-walk effort. "He was all right," Detroit third baseman Brandon Inge (0-for-3) said. "It took a while to get used to him. . . . He didn't stand out to me like the most dominating thing I've ever seen." Tigers first baseman Sean Casey (0-for-3) also wasn't about to anoint
