Are you serious? I don't know how to respond to that, or where to begin. Arod has gotten a ridiculous amount of criticism not only by the New York media, but by media from all over the country and some outspoken Red Sox players. Nothing he does is right in the eyes of the media. Some proof: here's one another one I could go on but I'm not really in the mood to start a conversation about Arod, just trying to show that hopefully this ridiculous banter about Arod's stupid slap and how he is the most overrated player in baseball and how he cares too much about his image and how Arod is scum of the earth will all take a backseat to Damon, who will be the bigger story in '06. Damon seems to want the publicity and Arod I'm sure will be able to live with less of those stupid articles (not like he reads them, but they sure influence people's opinions, unfortunately).

I see your point but who on the Yankees tries to grab the mike? I can't think of anyone, but I could be forgetting someone. If anything, I think Arod would love it if another big star came in and took the spot light. Arod has gotten so much criticism from the media that I think it will be good for him to have someone else taking the heat for a change.

I think it's kind of funny how Sox fans have this view of everyone in a Yankee uniform being uptight and proper. That is the image The Boss is trying to convey, and it's working, but I have a hard time believing there aren't a couple class clowns in the clubhouse. If indeed everyone is uptight, I think Damon's coming will be a breath of fresh air and not at all detrimental to his performance.

I saw that. Yah...sensible reaction alright.

Oh, my bad. I thought you were saying "how did you fare with Bellhorn and Embree?" as in "how did those former Sox do in pinstripes?" my apologies

Are you comparing Bellhorn and Embree to Johnny Damon? If so, then I dunno what team you have been following but it sure can't be the Red Sox. Johnny Damon is a far superior player to Bellhorn who had what was it, one hit in pinstripes? And Alan Embree sucked, majorly. I'm positive Johnny will do a better job than those scrubs.

ahahaha that was funny and i was at the game he hit a homer, i knew that was too good to be true.

Yeah seriously. I don't think some people understand the concept of 12 million dollars. It's not like these guys have very long shelf lives (compared to actors at least) so I mean, who are you to say that he should go for less money when he is still playing the game he loves, still playing in the best rivalry in sports, and he is being smart and financially setting himself and his family? Welcome to the Bronx, Damon.

The more I think about it, the more I like this. The line-up is sick. Especially the top 3/4 of the order. When everyone's hott, the line-up is going to be torture. Welcome back to the Bronx, Beckett. And I don't like Damon's arm obviously but he is pretty speedy. I'll take it.

At least it's not a 7 year deal. Fewf for that.

that's too funny

I wish I was alive to see people like Yaz play. Anywhoo...nice to have you on board.

I felt the same way. I started yelling at the tv, and the Kay started to praise the play. I was very confused.

Nice...several Yankees in there, good to see. Doesn't change the fact that they got eliminated in the first round...but still a nifty award.

Hello there

Wow.

Damn it. No game on my b-day

I think that's the same thing I did. It was in September and they had like 5 tickets for 25 bucks or something like that. I wound up going to almost every home game in September lol. And hey, I got to meet the Ultimate Road Trip Guys a couple times and there's a good chance of catching a foul ball. Not bad.

It's actually really easy to get tier seats. My uncle has connections somehow and he gets me some really good seats, like for the Sept 11th game I was second row back behind the Red Sox dugout and was on tv and got a ball from Wake, all for free. So basically you either need friends in high places or just settle for the birds eye view up top, which I actually don't mind at all.
