Traitor Johnny

OK,this one goes out to Ian Browne and the countless other sports reporters who don't understand why die hard Red Sox fans like myself still ABSOLUTELY DESPISE Johnny Damon three and a half years after he left the Sox to sign with the Yankees.

Ian, it is extremely simple. The reason we hate Damon so much is because he lied to us. Early in the 2005 season Damon was asked point blank if he would ever consider signing with the Yankees when he became a free agent. His response was this and I quote: "No way." Even though he said "they (the Yankees) were gonna come after (him) hard." He said he could never play for the Yankees after playing for the Sox.

Less thank six months after making this absolutely concrete statement Damon signed a four year contract with the Yankees. Red Sox Nation waited 86 years for our 6th World Series title. It's citizens are not going to forget a promise like that in a mere six months. Obviously there is a statute of limitations on a quote like that but it is certainly significantly longer than six months.

If Damon simply owned up to his betrayal the fans of Red Sox Nation would have let him off the hook. We understand that baseball is a business and that Damon went to the team that was willing to pay him the most money. Our anger doesn't come from the act of signing with the Evil Empire but the promise Damon made to us that he would NEVER do such a thing.

Anyone who doesn't get this is clearly NOT a member of Red Sox Nation. This isn't a complex issue, it's an issue of loyalty and a broken promise. We took Damon at his word and it was our mistake but we certainly will not make that mistake again. Now we live to make every at bat and half inning in the outfield a miserable experience for Traitor Johnny.

Mood: Hysterical.

There's a town in Missouri called Knob Lick, it's right off US Route 67. The only way this could be better is if it was near Route 69 instead!
