The Big Unit going to the Yankees? Well, it would be interesting to see him and Schilling face off against each other. For some unexplained reason I hate Randy Johnson more than I dislike the Yankees. I'd like to see him end up pitching for some miserable second tier team. Of course they would promptly sell him to the Yankees for cash but the press conference with Expos/Nationals/Brewers/etc. would be entertaining.
You were in Boston and didn't PM me for drinks?? For shame.

The Red Sox will not be the same without Pedro. And they'll be even less the same if they succeed in dumping Manny's contract, screw up negotitations with Ortiz, lose Varitek because they're cheap, cut Millar, or any combination of those.
Fortunately, they will apparently have unfrozen caveman center fielder for a while, so they'll still be entertaining.
Unfortunately, Johnson will never pitch for the Brewers (as one example), since he has a no-trade clause. And they probably won't give him that extension he's looking for. And they suck.
I was surprised to see how ESPN.com backed off the whole it's-a-done-deal thing, especially after how big a deal they made of it being pretty much a lock on SportsCenter last night.
IL(most recent Boston trip was just under 14 hours, involved no booze or depositions, and was completely devoid of fun. Stupid proto-fascist GPs) NS
