But "Cubies" was so funny, I just had to mock you publicly. "Cubbies" is a cute nickname for a beloved baseball team. "Cubies" is...I'm not sure. A cute nickname for people who work in cubicles? A diminutive term for those painters who dabble in cubism? A word used to denote exceptionally tiny ice cubes? You wordsmith you!

You mentioned Clemens' salary the past couple of seasons. I think the money that Clemens made this past season illustrates just how desperate teams are for pitching. As in any market economy, when there's a shortage of something, the price for it goes up. Matsuzaka is a rare gem: a proven commodity whose stuff will be entirely new to MLB. It will take hitters some time to make their adjustments, time during which Matsuzaka could be racking up wins. You raise some good points, Nick.
