We Have Moved To The Dark Side

I have always been a critic with how much the Yankees spend every year. Well, I'll officially say it now...My beloved Sox have moved to the dark side. This past week Boston paid 51.1 million just to talk to Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka of the Seibu Lions. Now they have to sign him and agent Scott Borras has said that he wants at least $10 million for 3 to 5 years.

In other words, we are pulling a move that has traditionally been made by the Yankees and are paying big bucks for a pitcher that has not thrown a pitch in the US. I've heard that Theo Epstein has had scouts watch this guy for 3 years now and likes what he saw. So it looks like the deal will get done. Lets just hope that this doesn't turn out to be another Hideki Irabu.

Now that we are on the dark side...I just feel so dirty!!
