One cannot say without any surety whether Johnny Damon will have a good or bad year for the Tigers. In fact -- as those of us in Red Sox Nation know -- the only thing anyone can ever say about Johnny Damon with 100% certainty is that he is as dumb as a stump.

smc,

You are right about that! I have many memories of that place too. Never been to Comerica Park--it looks nice on TV--just no "history" or "atmosphere." Not sure but I think the same company built Fenway, Yankee Stadium, and Tiger Stadium. There was a move to save it but it finally fell last year.

My take is that Damon's a big question mark. They did something similar with Sheffield a couple of years ago. Does this mean in a few years A-Rod will be a Tiger? We will see how they do.

Fun to be back "home" but always sad to see what has become of the city. Unemployment is very high here. Guess I can't complain too much about Indy...
