God I hope he doesnt suck balls.

 

[hotzie]

[patsfan1379]

[Raptorex]

Fuck him, I hate the Sox now.

 

[patsfan1379]

blasphemer!

 

[jnevin]

Go Phillies!

Boston Gambled more on him then I did on San fransisco tonight...

Putting alot of money into one guy who has never played a lick of pro baseball is stupid IMHO

Matsui sells an average of $23 Million a year in related Yankees memorabilia
You think the Red Sox care about $100 Million when they will at minimum break even?

 

[DieselGunz]

best starting pitching in baseball

 

[gjohnson5]

Well see about that break even stuff.

He still has like a 6mil a year contract

Boston Red Socks <> NYY

Hell , I think I could sell a few mil in Yankees jersey's and what not. What is the percentage of people in the US who have bought Yankees memorabilia?

 

[DannoMight]

baseball is a highlight sport.

 

[H_T_]

who won the American League penant last year? oh yeah, it was the Detroit fuking Tigers!!! lmao.

 

[Raptorex]

do you not think that this will now inflate the salaries of the other players? will this also come from Japan? NOT!

 

[gotmilk]

Dice-K mania!

He's like Michael Jordan back in Japan. 300 Japanese reporters were at the press conference in Boston.

I wonder how many NESN subscribers will come from Japan now. Break even from merchandise sales, profit from TV rates.

Plus, he can't be worse than Clement or Wakefield

dude his ERA is about 2.5 over 5 years in the Japanese Pro league.

He was the MVP of the World Baseball Classic.

Boston has him on a 6 year deal. He is 26.

The deal is amazing.

Any revenue from licensed merchandise is split 32+ equal ways between all teams in the MLB. Its a common misperception that they will "make their money back."

Revenue sharing.

one more stupid fucking press conference like yesterday and I'm checking out..wtf, stupid assholes.

 

[patsfan1379]

He is good for baseball and good for the Sox. They have a BANG up roster so far...

 

[redguru]

Matsui and Schilling are gonna clash.

 

[Raptorex]

Matsui and Schilling are gonna clash.

they should have a pitch named after sushi, like the slippery slider

 

[patsfan1379]

matsui is a center fielder on the yankees.

and they wont clash, shilling is a well known mentor in the locker room. he was supposed to clash with Beckett when they brought him on board and they didnt.

I'm a big Schilling fan, back from the 93 world Series for the Phils, I knew he would last and Mullholland would fade even then. The Phils picked up Garcia this year, so I have hope for a decent playoff run, especially with Hamels returning and Myers actually going to pitch instead of sit in jail.
