ask my wife and elizabeth. i physically, honestly felt my jaw tightening like when you are going to throw up and i had a giant knot in my stomach. it was honestly the exact feeling as when you get that phone call that someone has died. the news?:
"johnny damon has signed with the New York Yankees"
and for the first time in a while i can truthfully say that i applaude the yankees and am pissed at the sox. i cant believe it happened.
its like if luke would have turned over to the dark side at the end of Jedi
or if lincoln after freeing the slaves turned around and bought one
these are the things that have no answers, they make no sense, now i know what samwise gamgee felt like when frodo said the "ring is mine!" and promptly disappeared.
now, i must prepare my vocal chords to scream out what i never thought i would have to say:
"boooo johnny damon!"
( i am being nice with my choice of words, after all the man did hit the game winning grand slam against said yanks in game 7 of the alcs 2 years ago.
life will never be the same. just wait for may 1st, thats the yankees first trip to fenway next season.
and as that fatman in the sleigh said as he jumped on 96 and drove out of sight
"merry chrismas to all.....
yankees still suck"
