Wow, you think this transaction is being hyped just a little bit? Come opening day Johnny Damon is going to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. If he does not have a better season than he had last year (.316, 117 R, 197 H, 10 HR, 75 RBI, 53 BB, 18 SB) and/or the Boston Red Sox end the season with a better record than the New York Yankees the blame is gonna fall squarely on the man from Fort Riley, Kansas.
This won't happen, but it would be pretty funny if the Orioles win the A.L. East next year, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays win the A.L. Wildcard and the Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox finish 3,4,5 in the East.
