Remember last season when Johnny Damon said that he wanted to stay with the Red Sox?  Well we saw what happened when George Steinbrenner opened his pocket book and soon Damon was swayed.  Will the same thing happen to Curt SChilling?  He says no, but then again why should we believe him.  The Red Sox spent 50 million just to talk to the new Japanese pitcher and then signed him for another 50 million.  That is a 100 million for one pitcher.  Don't forget they also just signed J. D. Drew for 70 million and they still have Manny on the payroll for 17.5 million a year.  I really don't think they are going to pony up for Curt, but I bet George will.  So who thinks he will go to the Yankees?

I do.  His denial was like a giant wake up slap in the face to George.  What Curt is really saying is, "George, if you open that pocket book up wide enough I will wear the pinstripes along side of Andy Pettite."  Do you think George was listening?  We shall see.
