What better way to celebrate the home opener than with a contract extension for Big Papi. We get to watch this guy hit monster home runs like this until at least 2010, maybe 2011.

I love this Theo Epstein quote from the news conference Monday at Fenway:

"This is a very important day for the Red Sox. This is one of those contracts where it all came together because we had a player who means so much to the organization, who's done so much for the organization and he wanted to stay in Boston. David really said that early on, and he meant it. It came together with tremendous commitment from ownership and David and his representatives to get this done in a timely fashion..."

Could this be a subtle shot from Theo at Pedro and Johnny Damon?
