Comments on: Damon and the Musical Hair http://bosoxblotter.com/2005/12/21/damon-and-the-musical-hair/ For news & views on the Boston Red Sox Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:59:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5 by: Mike http://bosoxblotter.com/2005/12/21/damon-and-the-musical-hair/#comment-151 Wed, 21 Dec 2005 11:37:30 -0500 http://bosoxblotter.com/2005/12/21/damon-and-the-musical-hair/#comment-151 I didn't want to hear this, but part of me thought it was inevitable. Damon is a great lead-off hitter, one I don't really want to see start 19 games against the Sox. I think his decision is clear evidence he never had Red Sox Nation in his heart -- he want for a bit more money, not years. And, he went to the Yankees. It's a great blow to an end of an era. The cowboys and idiots are gone. This won't be the most perfect Christmas :-( Hopefully Beckett, Schilling, and Papelbon have 20 win seasons -- how sweet would that be?

They haven't had a championship since Chuck Knoblauch was there when they had a great leadoff hitter so I think the leadoff role has been underappreciated. A good leadoff hitter is tough to find and I think New York just found the best leadoff hitter in the game." Johnny Damon said this, can you believe it? Guess Damon’s not shy about his talents:
