Oh great. First Babe Ruth, now Kevin Youkilis.
Former Red Sox third/first baseman Kevin Youkilis has signed a one year deal with the New York Yankees for $12 million dollars. He now joins folks like Wade Boggs and Johnny Damon and Babe Ruth as players who left the Red Sox and went to the Yankees.
This time feels a little different to me. He didn’t leave us, he was traded. He didn’t run off to New York, he was swapped to Chicago first. The Yankees need a third baseman to fill in for King Douche Alex Rodriguez while he is off recovering from hip surgery. They also need a first baseman to spell Mark Teixeira (damn, that’s tough to spell). Youkilis is like a defensive dream come true for the Yankees.
When I project myself into next season I don’t see me booing the hell out of Youk when he comes back in pin stripes. Maybe a little, but nothing like the wrath we visited down upon the trader Johnny Damon. Damon’s move to New York was evil. Youk’s move was, as mentioned, actually to Chicago. If anything we should be furious at Schmucko the Clown (my pet name for the idiot accurately known as Bobby Valentine). It was the conflict between Schmucko and Youk that resulted in the trade.
Good luck, Kevin Youkilis. May you have a good year on a team that goes 0-162, and may you not take it personally when I boo your ass when you play the Red Sox.
2013 is going to suck for Red Sox Nation.
Crud.

I’m not commenting on your Youkilis post (although I agree!) but on the one just below it. I don’t have a password so I can’t view the post. Was that one just a test to see if password-protection works? If I’m not supposed to have a password for some of your posts, that’s OK — believe me, I do understand that some things are personal and I don’t expect to read every single thought, especially if it’s intended to be private! Just checking…
