(Red Sox) fans are going to be upset. I hope they remember the great World Series and the three out of four years we made the playoffs. I appreciate them. I tried to come back. |
[By Saturday morning, the Fox Sports MLB] Game of the Week ... report. |
[Could Johnny Damon envision himself in Yankees pinstripes?] I know what I mean to the Red Sox, and I would love to end my career here, ... I can't even think about it until I'm out of a Red Sox uniform. |
[Damon, who is eligible for free agency, loves Boston, and suggested that he expects to be back. And yet . . .] I'm looking for five plus (years), ... And I'm looking for a lot (of money). |
[Johnny Damon , the Red Sox' center fielder who is in the final year of his contract, said he and his agent are waiting to hear from the team to begin talks on a contract extension.] I'd like to finish up my career here and get locked up for a long time, ...

All these guys are going out and playing hard, we're just not coming through right now. We're going through a rough time, but we still have our heads above water. We're going to be fine. |
And I still do. The accomplishments he's had in his career are just awesome. I just wish he never would have taken the stuff. |
