Like Any Other Cubs Fan.

This isn't related to the Cubs at all, but funny. Today Daisuke Matsuzaka flew to Boston to undergo a physical examination before signing a six year, $60 million contract (less per year than Ted Lilly, mind you). Many Boston fans showed up at the airport to make Matsuzaka feel welcome. Among them:

Mark Fairweather, a fan from Lincoln, had his 8-year-old son, Nick, on his shoulders.

"We thought we'd just come out here to take a look at him," the elder Fairweather said. "I'm glad they're getting some good pitching."


I bet he'll be the first to give up on Matsuzaka when he fails to live up to expectations.

Who comes up with the figures for their salaries. I mean, do they really think 60 mil will buy them 5 years at world champs? 2 years? one year? When players renegotiate after having a great year, why not have the team renegotiate after benchin the guy. uggh, 60 mil is crazy.

(but how much practice do I need to do to get a job like that?)
