FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCK

[Mother Shucker]

Not a fan of either, but a very good fit for both.

[Perch1019]

I dont have photoshop on the computer. Can someone make him with Jeters hair?

Lets not forget that week period where you guys were blowing Arod and shunning manny 2 off seasons ago.

[Smokezilla]

Damon has to have that mop to keep the jizz out of his eyes after the bukake. . . JOHNNY DAMON - SHITDICK!!! :icon_mrgr Anybody else think he looks like the long-lost brother of Billy Ray Cyrus???

you betcha

[DoughBoy]

Fuck no. Some people say that this is one more shot at Boston saying, 'haha, we got another one that you can't keep your hands on!"

Personally, I say fuck him and I'm getting ready to say Fuck the Yankees. The only 2 home-grown that we have left are Jeter and Jorge; the rest of the team are imports. I'm a huge Yankees fan, but I'm almost hoping that Steinbrenner gets fucked again with a dog-shit post-season. It is the curse of the Bambino (another redsock)... After telling the world that you're tearing down his house because your rich cocksucker ass needs luxury boxes, I hope we get 86 years of failure.

don't forget Cano, and Andy Phillips should see a lot of playing time..we'll also sign williams..

WHAT!?!?! Hi, ever hear of the best closer ever? Mariano is homegrown. Also Cano and Wang.

Captain Caveman will be a solid leadoff hitter, something the Yankees haven't had in years. And as far as loving a guy after your team picks him up. Two words...Roger Clemens. Possibly the most hated player in Yankee history, gets to the Yankees, did nothing but win games. That's how it works, when he's on the other team, you don't like him, when he performs well for your team, you like him. Pretty standard really.

[LilJimmyRbinson]

I can't just start rooting for him, especially because he's the one that hit the grand slam to kill the Yankees, but I am exicted that they filled the CF hole while hurting Boston in the process. Sure his arm isn't that good, but at least he'll catch balls that Bernie wouldn't have.

[BeltOfScotch]

Captain Caveman will be a solid leadoff hitter, something the Yankees haven't had in years.

Damon last year - .316-10-75-18sb .366OBP (.353 career)
Jeter last year - .309-19-70-14sb .389OBP (.386 career)

Now I'm not saying that Jeter won't be a great #2 hitter and Damon is a more than serviceable replacement in the leadoff spot, but to say the Yankees have not had a solid leadoff hitter just isn't true.

[LetsDoThisLucas]

hes a good player great leadoff hitter..helps us hurts them=PERFECT...and for the ppl who say "oh your gonna root for the guy u bashed all these years"....sure cuz hes on my team now....and whats the difference for all the sawx fans booing and bashing the shit out(which will happen when they see him just like a-rod) of him after loving him for all these years.............anyway........now thats a line-up:)

i always thought damon was a good player and the catalyst of the offense i never bashed the guy although i wanted to kill him when he hit that gs

although octavio dotel can suck my cock blech

[LetsDoThisLucas]

Now I'm not saying that Jeter won't be a great #2 hitter and Damon is a more than serviceable replacement in the leadoff spot, but to say the Yankees have not had a solid leadoff hitter just isn't true.

yea i saw that too good point sir :clap:

jeter a future hall of famer a solid hitter at any spot in the lineup

and oh yea bernie williams is signed on to be a yankee one more yr:)

Damon's a true leadoff hitter, he goes deep in the count and rarely strikes out...I think Jeter's going to be a much better 2 guy and with Cano and Damon ahead of him, I see Jeter's RBI's going way up..

[sobi]

Personally, I never liked damon, but thats cause he was a good player. To expect NY fans to keep hating a transplant player if he produces. Especially if Damon handles himself well. I was a little less than thrilled to hear his interview on ESPN this morning. He said something to the effect of "the yankees wanted the best lead-off man in baseball, and now they have him". Humility is something to respect, and it's something I expect of Yankees players. It shows class. What he said doen't. If you want to exude that attitude, go play in the NBA with the rest of the animals.

With that said, as long as he doesn't display that type of attitude, and produces good numbers, I will most likely grow to like him.

[TheBattleVirus]

Damon keeps saying he's the best leadoff hitter in the game. Damon's good, but there's no way he's better than Ichiro.

Regarding the Yankees fans, if Damon plays well, he'll be loved. They'll completely forget all the bashing about him when he was on the Red Sox. RJ beat them in the WS in 2001, and they welcomed the 42-year-old happily.

[HockeyHelmet]

um, I give Damon till day one of spring training and he will be all trim and proper, just the way George likes'em.

[tar_baby]

ya gotta look past what happened boys...he's with the yankees and will do everything he can to help bring the world series back to new york..he's ok in my book now

[walking joint]

until he started pitching

As long as he tips his hat on opening day when his name is chanted and he doesn't start off like A-Rod did then its all good.

until he started pitching

jeter didn't bat leadoff the entire year and he normally hits in the #2 spot.

What he said was 'a good lead off man is hard to find but I think ny just found the best lead off hitter in the game'
I dont think that too out there. HEs not really stretching the truth there

No. I hated that deal and I still hate the 42 year old malcontent douche bag. If They could get rid of him I would throw a party

exactly..and with damon up first this can only mean good things for the yankees

regardless, it's like I said. Humility is something to respect, and it's something I expect of Yankees players. Along with putting up numbers, I want a class A attitude to go with it. I don't care if you are the greatest... cockiness is unattractive and unproffesional. When I think of the Yankees organization, certain things come to mind. Class, a legacy, winning, sportsmanship, and all that is good about sports. Projecting an ego doesn't fit in that equation for me personally. It's sort of like the way RJ has an attitude. I was excited to see him come to NY, but his pitching lessened my enthusiasm, and his piss poor attitude made me not like him altogether.:icon_conf

Have fun getting used to this.

I really hope they didn't give him a no trade clause...

[Tickle The Bag]

I dont like this one bit either there lil' jimmy. And I posted it hours after the official announcement. Cashman should be injected with sickle cell, so he can die like the rest of ..........

Hopefully he makes me bite my tongue but I doubt it.

[tar_baby]

i think you'll be liking it when he's crankin out those singles and doubles as lead off hitter

[rahrah]

I can see it now...Damon double, Jeter sac bunt, Arod sac fly :icon_mrgr

You mean that pussy arm that you guys wanted for 4 more years? Why does every Sox fan bash people on their way out?

[Papagolash]

Because Sox fans are fucking idiots.

I'd love to have Damon on my team

Mets fan.

[HockeyHelmet]

Yes I believe that is the arm they are talking about.

can't wait for opening day.
