Johnny Damon signs with Yankees - WTF
 

No fucking loyalty these days.... my beloved red sox are going to suck this year =(

He'll get injured

This sucks... agreed. He just pwnt the Sox for this season

They're gonna make him cut his hair too... but honestly, look at the yankee hitting lineup now

Damon
Jeter
A-Rod
Giambi
Matsui
Sheffield

Pitchers are going to start shitting thier pants throwing against this lineup

Just bean em all in a row, lol :)

yea man and whats he getting paid?
$52 million for four years
OMG....craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy

no loyalty ever. From owners to players. Those days are long gone.

I'd say thats pretty much true... then you have the really loyal guys here in boston like Curt Schilling

fucking yankees

i fucking hate johnny damon's faggot ass...

I love it... Go Yankees!

Damon needs a haircut.

It's all about the money

who cares about playing with the enemy, its just a game. he made a good career move.

I hope he gets a lot of beer poured on him at Fenway.

The Yankees always have and always will go out and overpay for players. There's a reason why the RedSox wouldnt pay Damon 52 million, he has almost a worse arm than Bernie Williams. Good move on the offensive side though, as it allows Jeter to bat in his natural #2 slot in the order versus leadoff.

Yankees can have as many bats as they want. They're going to have the same problem in '06 that they had in '05, no pitching. They'll make the playoffs but be bounced again in the division or league series.

Now my Dodgers on the other hand. They're putting it all together. Just need another starting pitcher. Nomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

damn I was hoping the dodger's would pick him up

I love the new look dodgers

How many of the '04 Sox play for the dogers now? Theyre like the west coast sox.

Lots of ex sox players

They picked up Lofton to play CF. A lot cheaper, better arm and only a 1 year deal.

I know! They got a nice lineup right now.

Lowe
Mueller
Nomaaaaaaaaaaaa

1) Damon never went back to the Sox to ask them to match the offer, I think he either a) wanted to stir up controversy, or b) actually wanted to be a Yankee.

2) His arm is about on par with Williams, but he's significantly faster, which will make the outfield SIGNIFICANTLY stronger (making up for Sheffield and Matsui's relative slowness). Also more speed on the basepaths is always good.

Cheerio.

Damon wanted more than 4 years originally. Yankees and Red Sox would only offer the 4. Red Sox also weren't willing to pay 52 million over 4 years to a 32 year old. Just like they weren't willing to pay Pedro that last winter. Both wise choices.

Another interesting stat that I was reading was Damon's offensive statistics at batter friendly Fenway versus other parks. Batting average of 25 points less.

Red Sox can take that 52 million and find a suitable replacement in CF and use the rest on pitching. Basically what the Yankees should of done but havent over the past 5 years.

good can't stand the fucker:)

Make no mistake about it :pimp

I'm a Yankee fan, and I gotta say, I'm not too thrilled about it. Dude throws like my sister, and $13M x 4 is steep. Of course, if he posts .325-avg 125-R 30-2d 20-SB I'll learn to live with it.

But I still see this douchebag sending it into the upperdeck in game 7 off that pussyboy Vasquez
no fucking way did I want him

Good for both parties for sure! :thumbsup

I'm a Bostonian as well....and I am not worried. Manny isn't going anywhere now....sucks for him.

ya Jeter is just going to love being a sacrafice bitch for damon....not likely. things are going to be mixed up...trust me.

A 50 million dollar contract for him?! Damn, I hate that guy.. :(

He prefers to bat #2 in the lineup, only reason he has been leading off has been the Yankees lack of a clear leadoff man, now they have that. Cashman has already stated that they picked up Damon for that top spot in the order.

trading sometimes sucks, fans are very much affected with this kind of system. :mad:

Spring Training is only a few weeks away.
