damn i cant belive damon has left what a sell out. he left for 12 mill more than the sox were gonna give him to go to the yanks. what a crock!! i hope the yanks lose all year long. red sox nation baby. what next ortiz to leave. i hope manny doesnt leave. any other sox fans gere

Don't blame Damon. The Red Sox weren't keeping him for what they offered.

dont blame damon? what about loyalty (spelling)? i know sox have a f#$ked front office shut they let pedro go damn is a traitor end of story! he has made millions in mlb is 12 mil more gonna make his life better? not!! i am a huge sox fan life long maybe i am taking this way to hard lol

Not likely, the Red Sox are dismantling their entire team. It is a mass exodus from Boston. Rats escaping from the ship. I wouldn't be surprised if the Blow Cocks finished in last place in the AL East, surpassed by even the lowly Devil Rays.

Ortiz and if Manny stays and that's it. Man, what a great time to be a Yankee fan. Thank YOU Johnny Damon for the early Christmas present

[/b][/quote]well, any red sox fan can jump on the Dodgers bandwagon, WEEI is labeling the Dodgers as the Red Sox west, because alot of the sox players head there.

that's the saddest news I could receive. FUCK! I'm not even a Red Sox fan but I just hate the evil empire and I get really sad seeing what they do with baseball. their no. 8 hitter in the lineup will be paid 10 millions next season!!

What about it?

Do you expect a player to take less than he's worth on the open market out of loyalty, while the extra money he could have made goes into the pocket of the team owner?

You want to be pissed off at someone, be pissed off at whoever made the decision that Damon wasn't worth re-signing.

And what exactly do they do to baseball?

It's gonna be New York-Toronto for the AL East this year. [evil laugh]

Screw Bahhstahn. "F*ck 'em in the ear!"

STOP CRYING Red Sox fans! It's your own management's fault for being stupid enough to let him go! :rolleyes:

Absolutely true!

Absolutely true! [/b][/quote]Among other stupid shit they did, say two GMs, screwing Epstein over.

As a Yankee fan, ya gotta love boston for one reason and one reason only, they'll always screw something up that will be to your advantage

Oh of course, I just hate listening to all the bitching, whining and moaning that the Boston fans start every time they screw up.

Exactly. I just read an article on Foxsports.net which I found pretty funny. Just saying how the Yanks overpaid on Damon and about how "he's on the downside of his career" (another "familiar" move by the Yankees) and about how he's going to "loss his powers" due to him cutting his hair much like Samson in the Bible Jeez people, face the facts: New York just STOLE your posterboy, your pissed, there's nothing you can do about it, and the Yanks will win the Series next year

Meanwhile, you reap the rewards of our team, while i get lynched walking down the street to get a sub. :p

Looks like the Yanks payroll will decline from $205 million to $175 million next year. Good, I'm tired of hearing b*tching and moaning about "the $200 million payroll the Yankees have"

Oh god, now they're whining already, and its only 10 past midnight.

Yanks had to pay about $34 million in luxury tax while Boston had to pay about $4 million

thats why the Red Sox radio station, WEEI has a thing called the weiner WHINER line.

Pretty interesting article about the sox turning on former heroes

These are hilarious

That was great

Funny, how I never heard any Sox fans complaining about loyalty when Damon went from KC to Oakland, nor did I hear any outcry when he left Oakland to join the Sox! I guess it's alright to sell out for the money as long as it's for your hometown team. Give me a break! I'm neither a Yankees nor Red Sox fan, but at least the Yankees admit that what they are. The Red Sox continually try to play themselves off as some small market team who gets burned by the Yankees big spending. Keep dreaming! At least the Yankees are good at what they do. I agree with Red Sox fans that I would love to see the type of success the Yankees would have in an NFL type league, but the fact of the matter is MLB is not the NFL. The Red Sox have tried for years to emulate the Yankees, and actually succeeded once. Just because you failed this year doesn't give any Sox fan any right to complain about inequity.

Wow man, I couldn't have said it better myself!

They have him sporting his new haircut and Yankees jersey on YES network, and DAMN his wife looks good.

Yeah I just watched his press conference. Poor guy I felt so bad for him, he seemed so nervous

What do you guys think?

Wow, you think this transaction is being hyped just a little bit? Come opening day Johnny Damon is going to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. If he does not have a better season than he had last year (.316, 117 R, 197 H, 10 HR, 75 RBI, 53 BB, 18 SB) and/or the Boston Red Sox end the season with a better record than the New York Yankees the blame is gonna fall squarely on the man from Fort Riley, Kansas.
This won't happen, but it would be pretty funny if the Orioles win the A.L. East next year, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays win the A.L. Wildcard and the Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox finish 3,4,5 in the East.
