Sucks to see him go....Sucks even more to see him go to the freakin Yankees! But, for an extra 12 million bucks more than what the Sox offered him who the hell can blame him. For an extra 12 mill i think we'd all do the same. Im not liking the new look Sox yet. what the F is going on!?

It is interesting, (besides the rumoroed Luccino issues) Theo left for some philosophical reasons, right? There was a significant division in what was best for the future of the team and he was not on the same page as some of the current brain trust. Maybe that is part of it - Henry has bought a team that way - or was it breaking up the team, recooping costs, and starting young?

I dont get it!! Damon needed 3 wheelbarrells to get his cash to the bank what did he need more for???? I say salary cap and not in the form of a team cap how about a player cap, if they love the game @ 5 million a year they can learn to love it @ 2 a year. How much money do these goons need, I think I will get my kind a new baseball bat for Christmas screw the Ipod

I'd love to be paid better for what I do and so would everyone else. I'd love to catch more bass and so would everyone else. Everyone wants to do better. More power to Damon. I have a real bad feeling about the Sox higher echelon. Seems all too familiar.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
