3 Things to Be Thankful For

A dejected Bronson Arroyo cleaned out his locker today and headed to Cincinnati. As usual, Johnny Damon weighed in with his opinion (he really won't go away). From the Hartford Courant:

"They have their plans, and they have their computers, and they believe that's right," Damon said. "Unfortunately, computers don't judge a person's heart."

"The biggest thing that enticed me about the Yankees is knowing that Derek Jeter is going to be here five more years, [Alex Rodriguez] is going to be here five more years, Jorge Posada's going to be here. Bernie Williams is going to be here as long as he wants. I believe they're going to make a big effort to sign Gary Sheffield. Jason Giambi is here three more years....That core is something that enticed me a lot. The core in Boston, unfortunately, is coming to an end."

The core is coming to an end? Maybe. Here are three distinct reasons to be thankful that you're a Red Sox fan:

1. Wily-Mo Pena apparently "hit some absolute bombs" in batting practice today in Florida. According to Chris Snow of the Boston Globe, he hit "one off the scoreboard in left center, one over the scoreboard, and a smattering onto the field behind the left field wall."

That's what I like to hear.

2. The Red Sox don't do silly things like partner with TNA Wrestling. Check out this promotional video (via Deadspin.com) done by the Chicago White Sox. Wow.

3. Terrell Owens doesn't play baseball. Terrell Owens' rap video "Where You At?" is now available for viewing displeasure at terrellowens.com and his new book, Ineligible Receiver: The Real Story of My Journey From the Super Bowl to the Sidelines" is due out in late July. His publisher says: "Finally, the real T.O. story can be told."

Phew! I can't wait to hear his side of the story.
