Red Sox fans: What do you think  of Johnny Damon now?!?

I too LOVED Johnny Damon until he became a Johnny Judas.  Go anywhere... Just don't go to the Yankees.  I wish I was going to the game on May 1 as I would join you in booing him.  I am going to the game on 9/17 AT YANKEE STADIUM.  I was thinking of taking my old Johnny Judas t-shirt and burning it outside the stadium.  :o)

Frank Thomas will be a HR or nothing type of guy.  He is a major liability on the bases and his bat speed is not the same it was.  (I watched him all year last year) as an A's fan.  He is a great infulance on the team but don't be shocked if he does not repeat what he did last year.......

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

Most agreed.  He is a great player and competitor so long as he plays for any team other than the Yankees.\n\nYes he is outspoken and yes he whines- ALOT!  But he backs it up and is one hell of a pitcher.

absolutely.  Im a big Sox fan and I was very excited to see that they resigned him.  It says a lot about his character that he stayed in Chicago for less money because he wanted to be on the White Sox.  He is a great player and Im glad hes on the south side

Seriously?  As a Boston Red Sox fan since birth, I would NOT want to see Roger Clemens come back to Boston and I will tell you why.  When Roger left Boston, there was no amicable parting.  He bashed the team, he bashed the management, he bashed the owners and worst of all, he bashed the fans.  Now, enough time has passed and every Boston fan is weepy eyed at the idea of the ROCKET closing out his career essentially where he began it.  Well you know what I say?  F**k you Roger.  We don't need you, we don't want you and guess what?  We won a ring WITHOUT your help.  Stay in Texas and coach little league.  (I will say this though, at least he had the decency to wait a few years before jumping on the pansy pinstripe bandwagon.  Unlike Johnny Judas.  That back stabbing son of a motherless goat!)

If he FINALLY makes up his mind, I hope he comes back to the Bosox. Then if Wellsy acts weird or is too hurt, he can retire. OH! What FUN to knock the Yanks around again!!!

I think they will move him into a starting role at the beginning of next season.  With his clearly dominant stuff the Sox are much better served letting him throw 200 + innings instead of 90.  However, he has been so valuable this year that he must stay there for now, and they really dont have much of a choice at this time.  I say work Hansen into the role or get somebody in the offseason.

Well, their infield has definately improved but starting pitching is a little shakey, it was real stupid of them to trade Arroyo. The bottom part of the order is a bit weak too. I don't think the self proclaimed idiots of 2004 can ever be topped.  By the way I am a die hard Yankees fan and boy are we happy to have Damon ;op

Aw, c'mon.  How can you hate the Olde Towne Team?  It's okay to hate the Yankees, but it's morally wrong to hate the Red Sox.\n\n:)

Love the Rocket!  THE best pitcher of my lifetime (1973-Present).  If he would have started in Spring Training, he'd be out of gas by playoff time.  He's an old dude.  I have no problem with him waiting until now to come back.  Altough I didn't like the "maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't" business.  We all knew he was coming back.  The Stros made a great comeback in the second half of last season, and are set to do it again this year.  \n\nGo Stros!\n\nBut I did love watching my Buccos take 2 of 3 from them last weekend.  They got lucky on Sunday with the comeback from 4 down in the 9th.  That 18 inning game on Sat. night was one of the best I've ever seen.

I take a different approach.\n\nMy opinion is that he will either retire or return to Boston. (it would only be for a couple of months at the most, like a summer home for the family in Boston - its not too hard on him or the family)\n\nHe will not go to the Rangers, he's done with the yankees (he has some nice memories, why ruin them), his actions at his last game this year in front of the Astros crowd told me at that moment, he was sure his days in the Stros uniform were over, and he said goodbye to the fans.\n\nThe only place he has unfinished business is with Boston (after the wa he left the team) He knows the club (with new ownership and Front office) and the fans want him there, he will probably were a Sox cap in the hall of fame, why not finish your career in one. Plus he can actually be above a .500 pitcher in Boston, can't with the Astros (carlos lee ain't going to solve that)\n\nThere are many rumours that he regreted signing with the astros, and wanted to be traded to boston at the deadline. I am sure he will at least consider playing for the Sox again.\n\nAnd he has a better chance of a postseason with Boston than Astros, Boston will have a better rotation and hitting than the Astros (they will need it too) If you are coming back, might as well try for another world series..\n\nThat being said, Retirement is at least a 50% chance as well, probably higher.

Johnny Damon (after Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui).  All Yankees, of course!  Of course, I could be a little bias.....   ;)

Damon is a self centerd, middle of the road center fielder.  He only cares about himself and the money.

News: Albert Pujols took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran hard in the outfield Tuesday. The Cardinals' star is getting closer to returning as he recovers from a strained oblique muscle suffered June 3. Pujols might be able to come off the DL in time for the Cardinals' weekend interleague series in Detroit. "He's stepping up the program. Everything so far, he's feeling good," manager Tony La Russa said, adding Pujols was not in any pain. "He'll keep stepping it up until he's game-ready. But there is a conditioning factor now, too. It's not just getting his legs in shape and his arm in shape, there is a lot to get ready."\n\nAnalysis: Keep Pujols reserved until the weekend at least, but he could return to lineups thereafter. That's great news for his owners at this point, but there's still a few rivers for his oblique to cross.\n\nDon't you love it when jack-holes like the 2 idiots above post stupid answers?

GO RED SOX!\nI like Manny AND Big Papi AND Curt Schilling AND Loretta AND Varitek AND\nwell, you get the picture!\n\nfreddyg: I was a Damon fan until his farewell speech, where he said he knew we loved him, but we would have to get over it, so I took his advice and got over him real quick.

I look at it this way: the Red Sox didn't want to re-sign him that much, and the Yankees REALLY wanted to take him away from the Sox.... if the Sox knew that the Yanks were going to offer him such a bigger contract, and they really wanted to keep Damon, they should have upped their offer.  I can't blame Damon....if you could make a couple MILLION dollars more per year, wouldn't you?  \n\nSox fans should have given him a standing O just for the fact that his grand slam in game 7 of the ALCS in 2004 helped propel them to the World Series.  He was one of the most important members to that team.  Yeah, I was bummed to see him leave the Sox, but I don't hold a grudge against him.
