Red Sox icon Johnny Damon has jumped ship to the Yankees. I guess disaster was to be expected after general manager Theo Epstein's departure. But... c'mon, Damon leaving the Red Sox?!

The Boston Globe reports this in a surprisingly deadpan article. I mean, even the New York Times got more excited about this in "Yankees Outhustled Red Sox to Get Damon". So — what'll it be? Attending Yankees games to watch one of the most dynamic outfielders in the game? Or keeping it real to the team that made me even remotely interested in baseball in the first place?
