Scott Boras is going to be the reason that the Sox don't sign Matsuzaka (if indeed they end up not signing him.) That pisses me off so much, but not as much as it irks Mike.Clock's ticking down to the end on this one, and all the rumors swirling around don't sound too good. I'm hoping for the best. This business with Schilling learning Japanese is such a transparent PR ploy (although he may indeed be doing it with good intentions) it makes me ill.
Jim Allen on ESPN (from where I got the picture at left) makes some good points in this article. Namely, that it will ultimately be up to Matsuzaka to decide whether he signs or not. No, and he goes back to Japan for another two seasons and the Lions get jack. Boras can finagle all he wants, says Allen, but ultimately the prospect of earning the most money he's ever earned in his life and the chance to bring pride to his old club and home country will be the deciding factors for Matsuzaka.We'll see how that goes very soon.

Whenever I think of Scott Boras, I think of J. D. Drew... and thus Battery Day at the Vet.
But after this and A-Rod, it's pretty clear that the one who deserves to have batteries thrown at him, (or used to dismantle his circuits, as you have cleverly alluded to),
is, in fact, Scott Boras.
Let's have him get in a Roman gladiator ring with Drew Rosenhaus. Everyone dies, we all win.
