Wich of you guys still like Damon ?

[RedSoxVT92]

I would like to like Damon but its hard. He backstabbed the Red Sox. He never gave the Red Sox a chance to raise the price of the Yankees. I like Damon from 2002-2005. The Damon from 2006- is a trator. Although you cant forget the 2004 championship he helped bring home. But I think in the long run it was good for the Red Sox. It cut alot form our payroll and we got Coco Crisp who could become even better than Damon and hasnt even reached his prime. Damon pretty soon will begin to decline anyway.

I voted "other". When Damon was here, I liked him...the attitude, the crazy hair, the offensive ability.

When he left for NY, it stung, but I agree that Boston should not have matched the money the Yankees threw Damon's way. By the end of that contract, he won't be worth it...in 2006, yes, but not 2009. When Boston acquired Crisp, I was thrilled....a younger version of Damon, at least talent-wise. At that point, I'd have been willing to let bygones be bygones, wish him well, and move on....but...

He hasn't shut up since he left Boston...every move the team makes, every trade, every signing, he's in the papers and on TV, whining about how the 2004 WS team got broken up. It's gotten annoying, really fast.

I know, when Damon left, I was pissed. I am still feeling the sting,
the bitterness that arose when Johnny Damon for more
money with the team he said he would never play for. And so with good
humor and a little edge as we in Boston do, we move on, but not without
slamming the door on his way out.

So, for fun, I came up with a little something for Boston fans to let Johnny know what we think about his decision to leave Beantown for the Big Apple.

I think the question is "Does anyone in New England still like Damon? and the answer is no. He stabs us in the back by saying hes not gonna go to NY and then he does it anyway.

[TonyK]

On top of all of this he is quoted as telling Manny and a few other Sox players they should come and join the Yankees too.

Sweet move for the profits dude !!!

[Evangelion]

I picked other, because I really don't care he's a Yankee at this point.

Ok, Damon aside, I'm going to paint a big target on myself and ask:

Why are fans generally so outraged when a player does this to a team, but feel like "business is business" when management does it to a player?

[yankeekiller34BigPapi]

I like the guy and respect him as a player, but SHUT YOUR MOUTH JOHNNY!! NOBODY wants to hear your take on everything the Red Sox do, remember: YOU ARE A YANKEE NOW!! I personally hope he doesn't really get booed on May 1st cuz he did help get us past the Yanks and win the World Series. But we all know that there will be plenty of booes, that's just how things go though. It's THE rivalry afterall.

Johnny Damon looked better with long hair

I liked that "rebel" attitude that Johnny Damon had when his hair was long and his face was unshaven and he was with the BoSox.

The New York Yankees are EVILLLLL!!!!!! :grouchy

Sorry I don't agree with you. The long hair was terrible. He really looked like Captain Caveman.

I never disliked him as a Red Sox player nevertheless, and I like him even more now.

Why did you dislike the Caveman look , everybody liked Damon with long hair .

I'll be dealing with this in PM as well, but I want the general public here aware that *any* advertising of this sort is subject to approval by the Webmaster, even if it is for charity. I'm a little tied up right now (another mod brought this to my attention), but I want the forumers to know that this is not yet sanctioned.

Thanks.
