Johnny Damon, one of my favorite Red Sox players, has been traded to the dreaded New York Yankees.

I'm afraid it is, Harry. I think this headline pretty well sums things up: "Damn Yanks do it again..." There's more to the story at http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbc ... S/51221009 (You'll need to register, but it's free.)

Thanks Doug, I'll check it out.
If they keep making decision like that it will be another 80-something years until another world series.

That's shocking! 
The stupid Florida Marlins, after winning their series, traded everyone away- they might as well have closed up shop.
When you support a team and are loyal and then find they are so easily traded, or rearranged as a team & your team is never the same again- it's hard.
I guess it's just business.
(I only rooted for the Marlins as a Florida team that year- and there were no Red Sox in the mix).

"He looks like a Yankee, he sounds like a Yankee and he is a Yankee," Steinbrenner said in a statement.
Yech....

They want me to sign up to read that link!
Did I just hear on the news that he went to Dr. Phillips High School?
That's local.

Yes, I just saw him on TV. Clean shaven, a haircut and in a Yankee shirt.
Bah, humbug!
