Hopefully, for your team's sake, Captain Egg Roll brings you back to prominence..

LOL. Dude is Japanese. At least call him Ronin Maki Roll.

The Yankees only paid 25 million for their japanese pitcher. Who is arguably just as good as daisuke.

I'm surprise they didn't just drop 75 million on both of them and buy the rights to 500 japanese infants just "in case" to rub it in their faces..

I guarantee he'll be better than that other Asian dude the Sux got..

Ha, James...

"Fire the mis------>siles"...

The Yankees were interested until they saw the Sox were...

The same Sox who dealt Shea Hillenbrand for ****ing BK Kim..

Needless to say "The Boss" was immediately turned off and Cashman reeled in the right guy for the job..

Actually some would say that the Jap that the Yankees bought has a better chance at success than the jap that the Sox bought. The yankee jap is a lefty, and has no history of injury. Plus he's been consistantly above average. The sox jap is brilliant, but hasn't been brilliant consistantly. And has a bit of an injury history.

Any way you look at it, still a ton of money for a couple japanese guys.
If I had to guess, the yankees probably preferred the jap that they got, but they wanted to make sure the sox had to pay obscene transfer prices for their jap.

Isn't he wearing George Costanza's Gore-Tex jacket?

im so buying his jersey.

 

[CornerThree]

I can't wait till he tears a labrum.

 

[cavincali]

Oh how great it would be if the Baltimore and Toronto represent the AL east.

I hope he breaks both of his legs in a sled ride....

At this point, I think George needs to show everyone who their daddy is, and just drop 115 on Zito, just because.

Difference between George and Theo....Theo can actually negotiate...George just throws money around and ultimatley over pays for mediocre performences. if this guy wins us 10 games this year, i will be happy with him.

Oh James, James, James. There is no difference. BOS has joined NYY as an evil empire, and BOS is just as guilty as NYY is.

and THEY BOTH SUCK Cleveland Rocks!!!

You took the words right out of my mouth. Boston/NY Yanks/NY Mets/Chicago Cubs, etc. are collectively ruining baseball. The fact that Boston is literally giving $14 million/year to J.D. Drew to be a completely average player (at best) should be proof enough. These salaries are insane.
