The eagle has landed

This whole saga has actually been fun to watch from afar.

After a 4-hour, 43-minute flight from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif., the Dassault Mystere 900 tri-jet of Boston owner John Henry landed at Laurence G. Hanscom Field in suburban Bedford at 5:16 p.m.

Red Sox president Larry Lucchino and general manager Theo Epstein were seen coming off the plane with Matsuzaka in a light rain. An SUV and sedan were waiting on the tarmac along with a police cruiser with flashing lights.

I can't wait to see how much they pay this guy since I don't think Plan A is going to work.
