"According to an insider quoted in nikkansports.com and translated by
NPB Tracker, the Red Sox are preparing a multiyear offer for Matsui to
be the team's regular left fielder. "
some things are just wrong........
You got to be kidding, right? Then again, I wouldn't put anything
past Epstein. Nah, this has to be wrong.
Of course go ahead and call me crazy for suggesting it.
He is according to one website i searched on the net from New York.
Brooklyn if i'm not mistaken. Even though he currently lives in Mass.
That can't be right. Must be a negotiating ploy by Matsui's agent,
knowing the Yankees couldn't let him go to the Red Sox. I can just
see the reaction to him hitting a game winning home run against the
Yankees. That would look great for Cash.
Matsui would be okay in Fenway's left field - it's the other 81 games
that would concern me out there.
Unless they are going to cut bait with Papi - pass on Godzirra.
Matsui can't play the OF as his knees seem shot. That is why he was a
DH all year for TEE. Granted, he got the MVP in the WS. Something
Ortiz wouldn't get because he would choke like Ryan Howard did.
Stupid.
Like in 2004, 2005 or 2007?
What???
I'll call you crazy anyway. First of all for paying any heed to this report
from a Japanese source.
But you have said much crazier stuff over time.

Wrong again. Per usual. He was born in NYC but raised in Brookline and is
a lifelong Red Sox fan.
Has Bay given any indication as to whether he wants to stay or not?
I have seen no such rumor reported but I don't discredit it though
because it would make perfect sense...
But I guess I am one of the few that wouldnt actually mind him being
signed as long as he was not an everyday player. He is no longer
capable of playing outfield and I dont want him in the Sox outfield.He
is however a good hitter and a CLUTCH hitter which is something we
could use on offense. With Ortiz being the way he is and Lowell being
the way he is, I don't see why Matsui couldnt get a few starts a week
and from there you just go with the hot bat.
I still think BAY needs to be signed. This better not be a "Fuck Jason
Bay, Let's sign Matsui" move because I will be very pissed off. This
move is great and will be a nice storyline vs the Yankees. I mean they
got Damon and he won a championship there so Matsui was a big part of
their success and it would be nice to have him apart of a championship
and even better if it's over the Yankees in the ALCS.
I hope they do it as long as they sign Bay too.
it's gojira, dumbass.
I simply have no interest in another 35 year old declining
slugger...especially one that has never been particularly renowned for
defense. If we didn't already have two guys like that in Lowell and Ortiz,
I might have some slight interest. As it stands...I have
none...zero...zilch...whatever the Japanese term is for it. Same goes for
Damon. And please don't tell me how easy it is to play left in Fenway.
First off, that's oft overstated...but there is also the matter of all those
road games.
Nothing but a rumor, which we know for sure since a team can't make
any contract offers for another week.
Damon's looking for a 3 or 4 year deal, according to his agent Boras.
So forget him, even for 1 year at $9-11 million.
In the spirit of: http://www.engrish.com/
We have: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=godzirra&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g2
Must I explain EVERYTHING to you?
Sigh. . .peter comes up short again.
Shocking. :/
Saaaay. . . your constant failures when butting heads with me is
getting you close to entry in a very exclusive club around here.
Just ask Dano and Biz about it!
THE RANKS OF THE PW0N3D!!!
:D

It would make no sense, especially if he can't field. We already have
a left-handed DH getting $12M. they aren't going to carry two DH's who
can't field, especially for big bucks.
If Boras gets Damon 3 years he is a truly a genius.
I bet Damon will get 3 years plus a team option.
gojira is better:

speaking of dano, you're starting to overreact the way he does.
relax, a giant japanese monster is nothing to get so worked up about.
this isn't war of the gargantuans.
