Class

Maybe there is something to this Class thing that Yankees fans keep talking about-I have been hearing it for decades in connection with the Yankees--their class and their occasional lapses too- Irabu wasn't a toad--he just had a worn out arm- sort of like Randy Johnson--both managed to win in NY. Now the Matsuzaka thing--the Wednesday fly back to Boston to have the physical and the signing -pretty classy, yes-- but the whining over the price-- NOT CLASSY AT ALL-- REALLY REVEALING. Like a spoiled brat the Sox Organization is just showing an infantile personality. THEY bid $52M- nobody made them do it. THEY said Matsuzaka was their next Ace--nobody made them say it- after they won the bidding. THEY SAID they beat the Yankees to Matsuzaka- ok fair enough-- NOW PAY HIM WHAT AN ACE EARNS THIS YEAR AND GET ON WITH IT--you are not entitled to get your posting money back from Matsuzaka--RED SOX ARE MAKING SCOTT BORAS LOOK LIKE A DIPLOMAT--and that takes some doing. Matsuzaka by the Red Sox own reckoning is due Pettitte type money and more--Zito type money--5yrs =$90m ( plus 52 equals $24M per year) the Yankee fans say CONGRATULATIONS! can't wait to see the $142M rookie pitcher.
