I'm beginning to think the thought process of Steinbrenner and the Boys on this one is "If we can't make our team better than we can make the Sox that much Weaker"

You're right about the pitching, they weren't Playoff caliber last year....and they are now a year older.

"Looks like Jesus, throws like Mary" - that's awesome !!

Oh well, lets hope we got his best years, his arm did suck, but the guy is an on-base machine.
Graffanino will take his place, he owes us a .300+ season after letting the ball go thru his legs anyways...

Go Sox!!!!!

Don't know why anyone would be surprised. It's a buisness and they go where the cash is plain and simple. Will it hurt? You bet. Paul

Well Damon played well for us and he will be missed. But this will likely be his last contract and he's going for the money. Can't really blame him for that. It hurts so much because he landed with the Yankees.

I won't wish him any ill will though. He was a classy guy who was an instrumental part of the World Series team. He deserves a tip if the hat.

On another note, I watched the 2pm news confrence on Nesn. Is it me or did Larry Lucchino look like a deer in the headlights? And one of the new co GM's who was sitting on Larry's left must of been parched. Did you see him swigging the bottled water? Maybe there was vodka in the bottle instead!
