Basegirl gazes upon that full-page Johnny Damon thank-you ad in the Globe today and addresses No. 18:
... Actually, I don't really want to miss you. I just want you to go away.
Let it go, JD. We already have.
Call of the Green Monster reveals the original text of the ad:
... "As you might have imagine, Johnny doesn't exactly write all that well," Damon's agent, Scott Boras, told COTGM, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "I had to rewrite the entire thing." Damon's original message paid tribute to all the "hot-looking babes" in Boston, going into excruciatingly private details about his bachelor days and subsequent marriage to his wife, Michelle. ...

Bill Trippe does the link fantastic for our newest breakfast cereal Red Sox player.

Hart Brachen ponders the imponderable - and wonders why Sox fans have never caught on to the whole ululating thing.

Michael on Dowbrigade: It used to be that breakfast cereal Wheaties featured famous ballplayers on its boxes:
Now, the Boston Red Sox are featuring breakfast cereals on the field. They can Trot out quite a variety of crunchy treats, even after losing Fruit Loops to the Yankees.

OK, I was an idiot. I waited until 5 p.m. to start looking on redsox.com for tickets to home games. Yep, yep, I stupidly waited a whole SEVEN hours after the tickets went on sale for the entire season. Yes, I can hear you chuckling pityingly - of course I could not find a single game with three seats together so my wife, daughter and I could go to a game (unless you count standing-room or obstructed-view seats for a few scattered games against teams like Kansas City or Tampa Bay). McCoy Stadium, here we come.

Red offers up a list of movies to rent to make you forget all about those nasty holes in centerfield, shortstop, and the top of the line-up.

Basegirl sums up:
... It's not like the man never makes mistakes. I think we can all agree that the Renteria signing was, uh, not his finest hour. And he'll make mistakes again. But in the end, we're willing to overlook them because he's Theo. ...
Whether this is good or bad remains to be seen. But it is what it is. And Red Sox Nation will sleep a little more soundly knowing that King Theo has been reinstated in his rightful position. ...

Sure, his loyalty to Boston is commendable (you listening Mr. Dead to Me Damon?), but Zach Hayes explains why he thinks the Theoplex should trade the Dreadlocked One - maybe even to LA for Orlando Cabrera:
... With that bargain contract, we can acquire a better shortstop than Alex Gonzalez, bench help, a safety net in case Lowell goes down the tube, or top-level prospects than can somewhat make up for Andy Marte. ...

For this one post, Beth could change the name of her blog to Cursed to Worst, because she skewers know-it-all sportswriters who have to rain on the parade of happy Sox fans instead of actually trying to discover new facts:
... I want to know the conversations Theo had, with John Henry, with his friends and family, with a player on the team, perhaps? I want to have been a fly on the wall. I desperately want to know what happened.

Is a girl wearing a blue t-shirt reading:
WELCOME TO NEW YORK, JOHNNY!
Blecch. Fortunately, other than that, the trip back to Providence was uneventful.

Johnny Damon, how can one describe the crulety which you have subjected upon Red Sox Nation. What you have done to YOUR fans is just unfathomable.

... This morning, be thankful that the Boston Red Sox have Tim Wakefield on the team… a guy who took less money to be here ... a guy who wanted to be here so much that he signed a deal with a series of one-way (Red Sox) options to stay here. It seems apparent that Tim (and his wife Stacy) love the City of Boston, so it is no small wonder why the City loves them back.

Andrew once again proves why baseball is a game of statistics with his analysis of why Damon wasn't as good as we think (caution: you will need to digest his explanation of something called SecA first):

Via Dave, who looks on the bright side of Johnny Damon's defection to the Deathstar:
Maybe this year the Sox can have a CF who can throw all the way to the infield.
For a limited time, you can buy Johnny's soul on eBay.
