Anger and Dissapointment at Johnny Damon/Yankees, all across the nation

Even some yankees fans are upset:

As a Red Sox fan, does Johnny Damon signing with the Yanks tick you off as much as it ticks me off as a Yankee fan? I hate Johnny Damon. There are members of the Red Sox I would love to have in pinstripes, but not Damon. He has this unnerving effect on me, because whenever I see him, I have this dire need to hit someone with my '99 All Star Game souvenir bat. The much-loathed Damon is replacing our beloved Bernie in center field, and Yanks fans are split on the Damon signing, which will cause Yankee fan in-fighting for the whole season. Do those facts at least give you a sick little sense of satisfaction?

When we signed A-Rod, I felt sick like Richard Gere before he whacked that French guy with the snowglobe in "Unfaithful." For any true Yankee fan (as I am), signing Johnny Damon is like asking the last guy who nailed your new wife (prior to getting married to her of course) to come and live with you.

Well duh, he crushed their hearts a couple seasons ago, and it just reinforces the (valid) stereotype that the skankees buy championships.
 
Meh, whatever. Evertime I see Derek Jeter I want to punch him in the face. He just has that weasle look about him.

Can he play ball? If so, then get over it. They don't care what the fans think, money talks & bvllshit walks.

Exactly. If Damon does something brilliant next season, these same people throwing stones will most likely be praising the Yankees for signing him.

 
I read that Simmons article earlier today. Pretty good stuff. As for Damon, it's not like he grew up in Boston or anything, so I don't see how he could be a traitor to anybody. People in Oakland could call him a traitor too!
 
A lot of Yankee fans are giant crybabies. They moan when Steinbrenner pays too much for a has-been, then they moan when he doesn't get another overpriced has-been to replace him. And always going on about who is ior isn't a "true yankee":disgust: A true yankee is whoever is contracted to play for them, period.

Oh, I don't like the Yankees btw.
 
all across the nation??? no one outside of new york and boston gives a flying sht. it's december, stop talking about baseball.

Hell given enough beer Yankee fans would turn on each other being the uncivilized Sods they all are for the most part.
 
Every time I see somthing like this happen I like baseball less (& no I'm not a Red Sox or a Yankee's fan) ... used to be that you could like a team based on the star players, but these days you end up being a fan of the uniform only.

As far a Yankee fans not liking Damon, thats just a joke... if he plays a decent center field & drives in a bunch of runs they'll all love him by mid-season, I don't know if he's going to make a lot of difference though because they still need pitching more then RBI's.
