shirish bro, noone is guilty. It's all Business and please don't talk like it's happening first time in Red Sox nation. We all know about Clemens, Pedro and Boggs incidents. Damon got the better deal from Yankees and he has better chances of winning championship with Yankees. Who wouldn't take it?? more money with better team, wouldn't you??? I am surprised that inept Red Sox organization sat there doing nothing to get him. Did Red Sox mgmt really thought Johnny was going to take 4 years $40 mil deal when Furcal signed 3 year $39 mil deal from Dodgers??? I remember few years ago, Yankees was in the similar position. ALl thought Petite was going to remain with Yankees but he signed with his Astros, hometown team. not only that he was successful to court another retired Yankees named Clemens to play with him...... It's bad news for Red sox, they would need 2 players to void left by Damon..... As I said I don't like the signing, he is not a true Yankees like Bernie, DJ2 or Posada at least to me.... shirish said "it seemed to be after listening to all the local channels that the girls are more heart broken by Damon's departure. The girls found him neat and cute." >>> hahahha this is funny shirish bro... It seems Red Sox nation don't have good looking and eligible bachelor like DJ2 that girls from NE are looking for a guy who cheats while his wife was in labor..... did i mention with 9 diff women LOL..... ya guys know how much pissed I am with this signing :=) One positive thing with this signing is that yankees didnt have to give up any potential player(s)... Yankees gotta call players Cano and Wang from their farm system.... Come on Yankees, we wanna see more DJ2, bernie, fonso, Posada, petite like players......
