Johnny, why have you forsaken me?

So, Johnny Damon is headed to the Yanks, reportedly for $52 million over four years. I, for one, am not surprised at all. Disenchanted? Maybe. Disappointed? Yeah. But not surprised.

What I find intriguing about the situation is Yanks fans will most likely be just as unhappy/angry with the turn of events as Sox fans. This scruffy guy whom they hate is replacing their beloved Bernie. Oh, and he also has a pseudo-bum arm. Like, his shoulder is sort of a liability. And the opposing team might be able to tag up from second now. And it's unlikely that he'll be able to duplicate his 2005 standout season, so really we're not sure what we'll get from him. But we're overpaying him anyway to be on our team for the next four years!!

I want to bottle up Essence Of Scott Boras and sell it on the black market. Forget my journalism career, this is where the money's at. Who could resist a product that guarantees you'll get what you want, even if it seems ridiculous?
