juddling Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) Granted..the idea of a scandalous wife differs from the USA to Japan but still it looks like Red Sox nation will have their own players wife to keep an eye on... Meet The Ms. Dice-K As we begin to learn a bit more about Daisuke Matsuzaka, the newest sliver of heroin to the junkies of Red Sox Nation, we, as we all tend to do, take a look at his homelife. Specifically, his wife, Tomoyo Shibata, who, according to the outstanding research of UmpBump, has caused a stir in Japan for rocking the cradle, being a golddigger (not that we're sayin' that!) and working as (gasp!) a sideline reporter. Because the former Miss Shibata is significantly older than Matsuzaka (she's 31, he's 26), she was viciously criticized in the Japanese media for "seducing" Matsuzaka when the couple began their liason in 2000 when he was only 19 years old. Because of the difference in their ages, they began dating in secret, and a huge scandal errupted when it came out that Matsuzaka's car had been towed for being illegally parked overnight in front of Shibata's house (it was such a big scandal that the Seibu Lions even suspended Matsuzaka for a few games). Also, she is known as "Rockets," because of ... well, because of her cans, apparently. And by cans, we mean "breasts," and by "breasts," we mean "rockets." couple of pics....judge for yourself Edited December 21, 2006 by juddling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The guy hasn't thrown a pitch here and he's already being interrogated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 She is pretty, but I dont know that "Rockets" is a good description. Anna Benson is surely deserving of that nickname, but Mrs Dice-K seems like a pretty woman, thats about all. Hard to believe that Dice-K got suspended for having his car towed from the front of her place. How can a team dictate who you date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask anyone who has spent significant time there involved in sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
