So why when I point out that Dice-K wasn't the superman people tagged him to be against the Yankees, I get the "well he got the win" speech (which was due to Boston's offense more than it was to Dice-K's outstanding pitching performance). But here Philip Hughes pitches a gem and now it's the "well it was only against Texas" routine? A win's a win, is it not? Besides, this is only his 2nd major league start and he's only 20 years old! For him to pitch a no hitter like that is impressive, Texas team or not.
