Speechless


I think I'm going to be sick!

The Red Sox Nation Suffers Another Strike


After thinking the days at the Red Sox Nation couldn't get any darker, I was once again proven wrong. The news broke last night at about 11:00. Johnny Damon agreed to go to New York and play for the Pinheads In Pinstripes. I would have never thought it would happen. Johnny was the factor that brought a little "different-ness" to the Sox. People watched more frequently because of Cap'n Caveman. He was the leader of the "bunch of idiots" that helped bring a World Series title to Sox fans everywhere. Now, he's only proven he's just an idiot. I read an article where he was quoted as saying that the Y's came after him "pretty hard". What? What that means to me is that he's leaving Beantown only for the money. I thought Johnny was a ball player; turns out, he's just a business man; greedy, with no sense of devotion or honor to the fans that suffered through all kinds of elements to get a glimpse of him in centerfield. Since I'm a Red Sox fan, I'll have respect and say, "Good luck in your endeavors, Mr. Damon, but be careful, don't cut yourself shaving. And when you ask your new boss for new razor blades, be sure and ask nicely....."

So long, Johnny.
