Bad day for Beantown fans


Well, now we know what Johnny would do...accept $52 million to go to the Yankees. *shudder* Not that I'm a big J.D. or Red Sox fan, but the Yankees? Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Talk about a team that chokes! Eh, they'll be perfect together.

In other baseball news, Sidney Ponson went to the Cardinals:

Pitcher Sidney Ponson agreed Wednesday to a one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals...Ponson's agreement with the Cardinals calls for a $1 million base salary and allows him to earn an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses.

Well, that's a bit of a difference from his $22.5 million, three-year contract with the Orioles, but that was before his recent "issues"...IMO, I think he should be lucky to get anything at all.

Canada announced their men's and women's Olympic teams today; the bad news is that Todd Bertuzzi is on it (boo), but Sidney "too big for his hockey pants" Crosby is not (yay!). Well, at least the Canadians did one thing right. Even for all his talent, Crosby seems too green to have been going to the Olympics with an experienced team, but given all the endless dedicated media coverage and attention on him and the personal endorsement from Lemieux, it's not surprising that he would have expected it. I'm sure Crosby will be rarin' to go in four years; wonder if he'll pull a Roenick before the next Games?

Dialup? Try France Telecom's DSL I'm on right now. SLOW. AS. F**K.

I hope something really bad happens to Johnny Damon.
