Bad bad news

I cannot put into words how disappointed I am. Johnny Damon has signed with the Yankees. Somewhere along the line, The Red Sox administration just messed up. I heard about the signing even before Larry Luchinno had heard. And in typical Yankee form, Steinbrenner swoops in with his big wallet in the middle of the night, pays Damon a butt load of money and turns him into a Yankee.

 

Obviously, Damon did what was better for him, more money. But think of all the little kids who cheered you on and wore Damon disciple wigs and called you their favorite player. Think of all the fans who loved you and cheered you on. We thought of you as a franchise guy, someone to look up to and here you are selling your body like a cheap prostitute to the evil empire.

 

No matter, Mr. Damon. You are dead to me. And if I do see you on the streets, I'll ask for your autograph and then toss it in the nearest trash receptacle.

 

...that was a bit bitter.
