    Red Sox Here's Johnny!!!

    Johnny Damon claimed on waivers by Boston Red Sox - ESPN Boston

    I didn't know what I wanted to call this one, but went with the classic for the title.

    Think fans will cheer him @ Fenway?

    Just because he's claimed doesn't mean he will go there. They could always pull him back (even though they want to dump him)

    He has 48 hours to decide if he goes or not.

    I'd give him a week or two before he's placed on the DL now.

    If the Red Sox do end up with Damon again, does he begin growing the Jesus beard again?

    Don't do it Johnny! Red Sox fans crucified you when you left. You're nothing but old rag arm.

    The Rays aren't on his no no list, I'd rather have him than Manny.

    I assume the Sox made this move as a way to block the Rays.

    That and they can actually use him. Olney is reporting he is likely to return. I would say no.

    It's actually nice to be in the position of having them want to keep someone from us.

    He can still hit, he would have been really useful as a DH for Tampa. And for Boston, before the inevitable trip to the disabled list.

    No surprise, you don't put a team on your no trade list if you WANT to play for them. Sounds like he saw through the "gesture" and knows he would be just a rental player and moving again after the season, why bother?.

    I think he heard what Red Sox fans had to say about him after he left and said "**** you guys".
