That's what happens when you bat .216

Tough year for Youk ... hate to see him go, but he just hasn't fared well with Valentine, (though that's not all the trouble with him, clearly) ... thanks for the memories, Big Guy, you will be missed, (hold that elbow high).

Matt Clement thanks Youk from the bottom of his heart

No. They paid 5 million to Chicago for them to take him.

Said this in the Sod thread earlier today but I'll say it again here.

 

If this is indeed Youk's last game for the Sox, that leaves big Papi as the last hold over from the `04 team.   Youk always played hard and for most of his career played well.  Unfortunately his only redeeming value at this point is the joy of yelling "Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouk" when he comes to bat.  With the illustrious line of players starting Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewey Evans, Sox fans will assuredly find some alliterative joy in the next player whose name allows us to make like a giant pack of cows.
