GO, JOHNNY, GO GO

Word on the street is that Yankee free-agent Johnny Damon is being actively pursued by the Atlanta Braves. They have offered a one-year contract, while Damon is looking for a two-year commitment.

I'd hate to see him go. He's a great player but then, he comes from the white trash Boston Red Sox, so I don't have a huge problem waving bye-bye. The next few seasons are going to be pretty interesting for my beloved Yankees. Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera (who cost me $100 bucks in the '01 series and I'm still kinda pissed at him for it) have been playing for New York for the last 12 to 15 seasons and are approaching retirement age.

I'm curious and hopeful to see what kind of talent they're going to bring into the bullpen.
