Damon or Demon?

So Johnny D the Rock Star Caveman has decided to take the money and run to the Dark Side.....At first I was completely stunned. Alot of this had to do with the fact that someone who has been so recognizable as the face of the Red Sox was now plastered all over every sports site on the web clean shaven, hair cut in a NY yankee hat. The image was totally frightening.

My next reaction was sadness - not for the Sox but for Johnny himself. I don't think he realizes what he has gotten himself into. In Boston he was a baseball god who could do no wrong - even when he had to use Manny as a cut-off man to get the ball into the infield. Just wait until he tries that shit in NY. Let's see how amusing they think he is then....

My latest reaction - after reading the quote below - "Johnny, you're a fraud!

Get a load of this -

"I want to stay here, but I may walk and go home. I might shut it down in a couple of years.

"There's no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they are going to come after me hard. It's definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It's not what I need.

"I'd like to finish my career here [Boston]. I'm not sure they'll let me do it, if they offer me [only] two or three years [on a contract]. I want at least four or five.
