Return of an idiot

[perry]

I really thought that Red Sox fans would have given Damon at least a lukewarm reception last night, if for nothing else than to acknowledge what he did for the team in the past. After the initial show of love and afection...then you can burry the SOB under a pile of abuse, hate and discontent. "Thank you for helping bring a world series win back to Boston, now go out in the field and die a horrible and withering death you ungratefull, mercenary #%*&!" That would be appropriate as well as a lot of fun. I really enjoyed watching him suffer through an 0-4 night. Good stuff.

I wasn't suprised that he got the boo's that he did, but I did think it was classy how he waved and said thank you when he came up to bat. I thought some of the signs in the crowd were funny. But, how about the 3 run shot for Ortiz in the 8th!! that was fun to watch. If they play again today, expect another win!

I stopped watching after "Dankees" went up in the fourth! I believe the fourth inning? Glad to hear we won ;D

I'm sure while he was tipping that hat all around to the Sox fans he was saying "#$%^# you" and #$%^# you and #$#%^ you too! Some said it best, "he could have gone to any other team, come back and we would have cheered him! but because he went with the Yankees! we'll never cheer him of forgive him!"

Go Sox!

I went to that game last night and he got booed even during warmups pretty hard. It was an awesome game but I did think fans were a little hard on Damon. A few months ago I felt differently and was pissed but heres what changed my mind and made me clap when he was introduced, but after that he got my normal yankee boos. Glad he went 0-4. I was pissed at first that he went to the yankees but 12 million is a lot of money and then when Bronson Arroyo gave the sox a home town discount because he wanted to be a Red Sox so bad they traded him because they had him signed cheap. If the team can't show loyalty to a player how can we expect a player to show loyalty to the team. I love my Sox but I also wish Damon and Arroyo the best of luck except when we play them. I'm glad Arroyo is making the Sox management look like idiots also( 5-0, 2.06 era, and 34 K's).
It was probably the best game I've ever been to and I'm sure no backup catcher ever got a rececption like Mirrabelli got every time his name was mentioned. Go Sox!!!!!!

[perry]

Being there for Mirrabelli's intro would have been worth the price of a ticket. How'd you manage to score a Sox/Yankers ticket? Well done!

Ya thank god the "mercenary" came up through the Bosox farm system and they didn't have to sign him as a free agent out of Oakland.

Any other team, and we're not having this little discussion. How do you go from hardball nirvana to a place where the owner makes you shave before you can take batting practice. For the money? See, when you get to Boston you're supposed to want to play for free. Forever and ever, amen.
I think the first stop in Kansas City pickled his brain.

[whitetail71165]

Baseball Nirvana??? This is a team who was the definition of futility for nearly 100 years. A team who has a long history of shipping out players long before they're talents are diminished ie Clemens, Boggs, and Fisk, and saying at the time they're careers are over.

The fact that Damon went to New York is what makes the rivalery so great. ;D

[perry]

Dude, put your rose colored glasses back on, you're not seeing this in the proper light. We're not saying our attitude toward the Red Sox is rational or that it even has it's foundation based firmly in reason and logic. What we are saying is that it is infallible, written in stone, never in doubt and always...right.
See, how this works is, you're always going to be wrong. no matter what you say, how many times you say it, or how many times you try and throw up names like Fisk and Damon, you will find that your argument falls flat, your legs will grow weak and the sun will come up and Lou Gorman will still be having lunch somewhere. It's so much easier, always being right. I don't know how you Yankee's fans can stand being...yankee's fans.

[whitetail71165]

I enjoy being a Yankee fan because then i can sit and read how disturbing your reason and logic are and wonder what alien spaceship dropped you off here.

[perry]

We do this as a public service to yankees' fans so they can have something to smile about. I don't think it's alien so much as a basic mineral deficiancy. My grandmother is ninety two and still likes to listen to games on the radio while she works on her knitting.
Hey Whitetail, we've got eighteen more games to go to work on our inventory of personal slander and insults! I love baseball.

and its only May...Lord help us. ;D
