A clean-shaven and short-haired Johnny Damon finally gives the Yankees a strong arm in center field again and as well as a quick bat behind the plate.

The Yankees are spending $52 million over four years to fill the weakest niche in their lineup and even in today’s sport economy that is a bargain price.

It’s a giddy feeling having a Yankees-killer become a Yankee and I only find it slightly homoerotic that I am still peeing my pants with glee over this signing as we once again give the Red Sox a shiv and the ole one-two!

    Oh and he still looks a little shady to me and that has nothing to do with being a Sox fan but I suppose that has little to do with playing baseball.

    Yes, it’s a quiet day for blogging, Robin. Everyone else is still eating sugar plums.
    I realize loyalty to a bank account instead of a hometown team is a sad reality in today’s sport world. Damon and Giambi used to play in Oakland together so they’re both excited to be playing on the same team again. A-Rod, Jeter, Giambi, Damon — it’s an excellent lineup!

  3. Well either way I’m certainly not going to lose sleep over it…I just hear about this everywhere I go.
