In the past few days (as most of you have heard), Johnny Damon has left the Boston Red Sox to go to the rival New York Yankees. Personally, I find this hilarious. I could care less about the whole Sox-Yanks thing that's going on, or anything like that. I just find it funny because there are sooooo many people out there that became Red Sox fans for the sole purpose that they won it all and broke the streak. With that, there was the fan base that followed the Red Sox players. The biggest of them all is no other than Johnny Damon. Sorry that everyone just spent their life savings on the replica #18 jerseys and the life size cut out of Johnny.

The Braves are my team, and everyone can give me crap (since it's happened a lot) about liking a winning team. But the people who know me, know that I like them for a legit and good reason. With this, after McGriff parted ways and said goodbye to baseball, I began to like the style of play that Chipper carried on and off the field. Here's a great example of a player not carrying about the dollar signs in professional sports:

Link to Chipper's good deeds. Just goes to show that you can be an all-star and not care about the dollar signs (yes, I'm talking to you Damon .... and you Furcal!)

Also in this whole Johnny Damon "mess", it appears that the Red Sox fans (and bandwagon fans) are beginning to send some hate mail into ESPN. Here's the best quotes so far:

"If the Yankees are the evil empire, and the Red Sox are the jedi, undoubtedly Johnny Damon is Anikin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader. The only question left is who is Luke?"

"Johnny Damon just stole Christmas."

"Remember the SNL skit from the 90's labeled "Steroid Olympics" and that guy tries to dead lift 900lbs and as he jerks up, both arms rip clean off his shoulders and are still attached to the barbell on the floor and blood is spurting out everywhere from his shoulder sockets? ... I hope Damon's arm comes flying off while he is trying to make a throw home and his hand and arm are still attached to the ball as it weekly lands in front of A-Rods foot and then A-Rod vomits and passes out and Joe Torre has to come out and give mouth to mouth to A-Rods bloated purple lips ... That would ease the pain of this trade."

"Johnny Damon: looks like Jesus, throws like Mary, and betrays like Judas ..."
