Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted May 10, 2006 mercenary That's B.S. For an extra $12M, you would leave town too. I could not get my bags packed fast enough. I don't blame him for leaving. That was what he wanted and he should not be blamed for it. However, he should not cry if the fans boo him because it was pretty darn clear that is what would happen. He was a class act on the way out the door (take note, Pedro) and since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did not grow up here, he did not get drafted here, and this was not his first team in the major leagues. It is a business. Have you worked for the same company your whole life? You need me to explain that to you? Nope. I already know that Yankee fans are front-running spoiled brats. Talk about a lack of class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did not grow up here, he did not get drafted here, and this was not his first team in the major leagues. It is a business. Have you worked for the same company your whole life? If I'm Johnny, then no, I wouldn't leave. I have more money than I can possibly spend already. It's fun playing in Boston, it's a winning team, they're willing to pay me $10/year, fans love me, etc. It's not like he's some 24 year old getting his first shot at a big contract. He paid all kinds of phony lip service about how he loved it in Boston, would never think of playing for the Yanks, etc. He's a damn phony mercenary bastard. And yes, I have worked for the same company for all of the 6 years I've been out of school. Any more questions?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted May 10, 2006 That's rich. I really am a pompous ass. For once, I agree with you. If I'm Johnny, then no, I wouldn't leave.

And yes, I have worked for the same company for all of the 6 years I've been out of school. Any more questions?!?! Ask Jack Clark and any other bankrupt player out there whether they have enough money. He can spend all of that money pretty darn easily. Whose to say that he didn't love it here in Boston and that it was not a very difficult decision to leave? Did you this much when Bronson Arroyo was traded or when the Patriots let Willie McGinnest/Adam Vinatieri go? It is a business. Players have a finite period of time where they can make that money and leaving for a 30% bump in pay to go to a team like the Yankees is a no-brainer.

Arroyo was traded. What does he have to do with Johnny Damon's free agent $$ grab? What do the Patriots have to do with it? I know baseball is a business. Players have a choice where they play when they become free agents. Key word being choice. To me, $10 million to play in Boston is a no-brainer over $13 million in NY. But that's just because I have a soul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted May 10, 2006 then why boo the guy? Ok, dummy. Let's go real slow. First time he comes to bat, you can cheer. After that, he is playing for our hated rivals, the Yankees, which means you boo him. Just because we hate the Yankees, it does not mean that we don't respect their accomplishments or that they are formidable opponents. I might not be happy that Damon left Boston for NY, but I can certainly understand it. Doesn't make him a "mercenary bastard". I know that no one has ever respected you, but that does not mean that others don't deserve respect. Someday you might get to have someone respect you.

George Carlin 1 Posted May 10, 2006 Patsfat, you're far too intelligent to hate the Yankees because it's cool and everyone else does. Step up, be your own man. Give me one good reason to hate the Yankees? Hating the Yankees just shows your inferiority complex, like most other Red Sox fans. I don't hate the Yankees and I would not have booed Johnny Damon. I am however glad he's 0 for against the sox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty_thor 115 Posted May 10, 2006 Why would red sox fans boo him? He was a major part of bringing the title back to Boston. Because he joined the dark side. He went to the enemies. Benedict Arnold was one of the early heros of the American Revolution but you won't find many statues of him. I don't blame the guy for taking the money but don't expect to come into Fenway in pinstripes and be cheered. Damon would have been cheered if he came back in any other uniform. I also think the Yankees paid him way too much money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted May 10, 2006 Give me one good reason to hate the Yankees?

I can see sox fans booing all Yankees cause they have an inferiority complex, but why boo him more than any other Yankee? He won you a world series, moron!

George Carlin 1 Posted May 10, 2006 Anyone remember when Mike Stanley was booed when he went from the Yankees to the Red Sox to the Yankees? oh that's right he wasn't. Red Sox fans on the whole are focking stooges. The dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life, is saying "Yankees Suck" when they have owned your franchise for the better part of 80 years.

It's extremely pathetic and annoying. Call it whatever you want. I love rooting against the Yankees. Its just plain fun! When I was a kid the Yankees broke my heart in '78. Yankee fans loved to mock Red Sox fans with chants of "1918". It was so great beating the Yankees in the playoffs! Yankee fans hate the Red Sox and Red Sox fans hate the Yankees. It brings passion to the rivalry. If you want to see respectful fans go to a golf or tennis match. I'll boo Mickey Rivers, reggie jackson, Billy Martin, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams and any other SOB who puts on those pinstripes. And for people who think its only Red Sox fans, Yankee fans have chanted "Boston Sux" in the past. I don't think there is anything wrong with their chant or our chant.
