Comments on: Yeah, that’s right: Theo did http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2006/12/15/yeah-thats-right-theo-did/ Media, Baseball, Boston, the Red Sox, Music, Literature, and Mnookins Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:05:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: tinisoli http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2006/12/15/yeah-thats-right-theo-did/#comment-3839 Fri, 15 Dec 2006 17:33:44 +0000 http://www.sethmnookin.com/blog/2006/12/15/yeah-thats-right-theo-did/#comment-3839 I love that Theo was about to get on the plane without Daisuke, that they actually called Boras' bluff to that extent. But yeah, Boras never had leverage unless Daisuke was actually willing to go back to Seibu. And he obviously wasn't. I like to think that when Boras knew he had to call Theo and tell him to hold the plane that he felt like George on "Seinfeld" when he's spent so much time trying to get "hand" (preemptive break-up, etc.) but in the end he's still dumped, still a chump. "But I've got hand!" And you're gonna need it. Love the clip of Daisuke dropping the puck at the Garden. The guy appears to be totally at ease with screaming fans, which I guess comes naturally after a decade of superstardom. Let's hope he's got the skills and charisma of vintage Pedro, but without the primadonna routine and frayed labrum.

I don't think they could have done any better than they did. On the other hand, could Boras have done any better for his client than he did? Under these circumstances, probably not. He knew damn well he had to make that phone call. And Dice getting hustled into the Fleet Centre to drop the puck in the Bruins game and getting a standing o? How cool. How Boston.
