Answers:
Does fielder chioce count as a hit?
Well he lied which is all I really care about. He said he would never play for the Yankees.How do the St. Louis Cardinals look this year(07-08)? Have they won a game yet?
YES!!!!!!!!!...No, he came to his senses and decided he wanted to play for the Yankees. The Red Sox certainly could have kept him, but they tried to low-ball him, and they paid for it.
How do the Twins keep on winning?
if you got that much money you would leave tooWho should be the Next commissoner of Major League Baseball ?
noDo you think the Angels will make it to the playoffs this year?
No. He left because he's a smart man.Yes . He left for the money. All players leave other teams to play for the Yanks for only one reason. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and lots of it.
Mark Prior... funny guy or whiny idiot?
He's not a traitor and no greedier than any other baseball player. He simply took the best offer that was out there. He owes nothing to the Sox, and vice versa.You would have done the same for $10M more.
He made a business decision much the same that you would make if another company offered you more money, more security, a better opportunity, etc.. Baseball is a business and loyalty works both ways.the Red Sox had an opportunity to compete with the Yankees and make Damon a better offer, where way their loyalty to a player that gave 100%? I am not a fan of either the Yankees or Red Sox, just calling a fact a fact. He is no different than companies in the U.S. who leave their workforce without jobs so they can chase another dollar by paying a foreign worker less. Damon is a business commodity and did what any good businessman looking out for #1 would do..that doesnt make him a traitor and why arent you asking why the owners of the Red Sox arent traitors as well, they worried more about money than winning!
List Frank Thomas's Best homerun years?
no he didn't leave the red sox because he was a greedy traitor. He left because he wanted to play for the yankees and also he knew the yankees were going to come after him really hard to get him to play CF for them after the 2005 season that's why he left the red sox . GO yankees!!!!!!!!!...Why isn't there any crying in baseball?
No. Damon's a good guy. And if you HONESTLY think about it, how hard would it be to turn down an offer from the YANKEES? I'm a huge red sox fan, but half of me doesn't blame him. He's still a great ball player!!Have we overlooked something in the Barry Bonds case?
well red sox would rather have someone whos named after a cereal..so i would leave to after i brought them a championship they didnt win in a 100 years and didnt get what i wantedWho liked stoner for the braves?
No. They didn't think he was worth it, so he took his business elsewhere. Kudos to him!Favorite Red Sox past or present?
$$$$$$$.... (which happens to be the same reason he left the A's)Baseball game.. rows and sections turner field atlanta ga?
maybe the red sox should have offered him moreJohnny Damon may have said he wouldn't play for the Yankees, and at one time meant it. But as we know everyone has their price. By the way, before knocking Damon, remember that the Red Sox made a decision to let him go. And then what happened? Instead of paying Damon what he was worth the Sox turned around and... wait for it... gave JD Drew 70-million. And Drew is damaged goods. He has missed more games in his magor league career than anyone for the length of time he's been up, something like 276 games in, what?, six years. Think about it. That's two full seasons of being on the DL. Take a guess of who got the better of that deal? Drew, of course.
The only thing Johnny Damon lost was his curly locks, the Sox lost a potential Hall of Famer
Who do you think is the hottest team in baseball right now?
Thats pretty much what happened... I can't stand that arrogant prick...That's the way it is with most of these guys-"follow the money, honey". That's why a guy like Biggio is so special. He never was a whiner or a complainer, and never pouted or threatened to bolt because he didn't get that extra million on his contract(man, it must be tough when you cant afford that 13th Bentley!), and spent his entire career with the same team. Appreciate guys like Craig, hes almost certain to retire at the end of this season-there aren't many like him.
