Johnny Damon quote: "[Johnny Damon , the Red Sox' center fielder who is in the final year of his contract, said he and his agent are waiting to hear from the team to begin talks on a contract extension.] I'd like to finish up my career here and get locked up for a long time, ... I know it's always been Red Sox policy to wait until after the season, but that can get hairy. I don't want to be looking over my shoulder at the All-Star break and thinking, 'OK, what's going on here.'"

We are definitely bridging the gap, ... It could get ugly.
