I'd just like to point out, that again Kevin Millar is mentioned as the key ingredient to "chemistry" that produced the 2004 championship. In this case, the point is that Damon was more of a follower. A particularly shrewd, capitalistic follower, but a follower none-the-less. <BR/><BR/>As a tangent thought, it will be interesting to see what Millar can do for the O's. My guess is that his club-house chemistry skills prove to be helpful but not a major contributor to their bottom line. Once again, pointing to the fact that the best source of chemistry is winning.I-believe-in-Dinosaurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898846088677890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1143124712761307312006-03-23T09:38:00.000-05:002006-03-23T09:38:00.000-05:00It's not like a report is obligated to print every...It's not like a report is obligated to print everything a baseball player says?! I agree that Damon is the source of these topics, but I find it a bit hard to believe that the reporters weren't smiling because they knew it would be hot news. In the end, Johnny will do all the talking. We'll see how effective he is over the course of this contract. That's what matters most.I-believe-in-Dinosaurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898846088677890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1143058230835197542006-03-22T15:10:00.000-05:002006-03-22T15:10:00.000-05:00He cannot keep his mouth shut.

I know many guys in the sports dept. at The Courant, being from Htfd., and Damon is obsessed with making sure his every displeasure towards the BoSox is known. This is one of those "don't blame the messenger" type of things. Of course, the messengers in this case are the reporter and the paper. I'll stick by the courant in this case.

I'm a Yankee now."<BR/><BR/>Until he does (and sadly I don't think he will), crappy sports reporters will keep going to him asking for the next quote.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528300608952663063noreply@blogger.com
