[Lawrence of Arabia]

@ Sox fans being pissed that Damon left for more money. THAT'S HOW YOU GOT HIM!

Arrian is 100% right. Damon has been a mercenary since he came into the league. He chased the money to Oakland, then to Boston, then to the Yanks.

did you read anything I wrote or have the fumes from jersey gotten to you?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Nothing you have written changes that simple truth. Sox fans are just pissed because he went to the Yanks. THAT'S IT! He could have praised all the Sox players to kingdom come, they would boo the **** out of him.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

i aint talking about sox fans, im talking about myself. why should i talk about the reasons why other fans dislike him? i just hope the other sox fans feel the same way i do for the same reasons.

cabrera, nomar, bronson, mirabelli, bill mueller, millar didnt talk crap about their ex captain, or say that money is not any consideration, or say that they wouldnt go play for x and then end up at x (especially if x = evil empire)

look at the ovation cabrera got. they wouldnt let him take his at bat until he stepped out and acknowledged the crowd.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

another point

if johnny really cared about the fans, and all those things he said about them how great they were, he would known what going to the empire woulda done to them.

then he says that what he did is whats best for his family

thats what someone who makes $8 an hour says when he gets a job in the next town that pays $10 an hour and needs to commute 2 hrs a day in each direction and cant see their family for more than an hour or two a day should be saying. not someone whos made millions and millions, works at most, 4 or 5 hours a day for at most 8 months a year doing something that many people would do for free.

btw, yankees farm system:

you know you dont have the goods when you cannot come up a combination to get mirabelli that beats cla meredith (mlb era big enough to vote), josh bard and $100,000 in cash.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Oh no... he said it wasn't for the money, then went for more money! GASP! No one ever does that!

I also didn't realize that Cabrera was a Yankee nowadays .

Cabrera was cheered because the Sox didn't make a move to resign him. Damon spurned the Sox in resiging... and for the hated Yankees!

like i said earlier, i dont like how he used that to inflate his ego, get fans on his side etc while it was convienient for him. i know that others do it, but i dont care unless it affects the teams i follow. and now, after useing us, he wants to come back and act like nothing happened? just cuz others do it doesnt mean its right.

cabrera was cheered because 1) hes gangstah, and 2) he didnt bad mouth varitek on the way out, or complain that $40 million a year makes him feel disrepected, or that its not in the best interst of his family to take that amount a year.

Or rather "because he's not on the Yankees".

[Lawrence of Arabia]

uh huh. only 35 mintues to go, you guys gonna have to let me know what the reaction is. since im a betting man, im thinking that there will be boos, but unfortunatly, there will be a majority of cheers/standing o.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

mirabellis still isnt at the ball park, alex cora might make his first career start at C.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

ARE THEY BOOOING THAT SONOFA*****??? ITS 7:05 EST

[Lawrence of Arabia]

DID THAT MONEY GRABBING EGO INFLATED JUDAS REALLY JUST TIP HIS CAP TO THE CROWD? I HOPE SOMEONE THROWS SOME COINS AT HIM SO HE CAN FEEL RESPECTED AND HE CAN DO WHATS BEST FOR HIS FAMILY BY PICKING THEM UP AND SAVING THEM FOR WHEN HES HUNGRY AND POOR TOMORROW BECAUSE GOD KNOWS HE NEEDS IT
