Players have "gone for the money" ever since free agency. 99.9% of them have. Stop this crazy talk. Scott Boras does a great job getting more money for his clients that WANT more money. He does it with a in your face style and as a result, not many fans like Scott Boras. Alot of players do, becuase all they want is MORE MONEY and that is all that matters.
It is always good when you have nothing intelligent or contructive to say to start name calling, bullying, and speaking as if there are mystery guests roaming the boards.
And the fans booed mariano for one play, in one game, which is hardly the same as completely turning their back on a guy who was booted out of town...your comparison and reference is completely idiotic.
I also heard, and remember Damon's comment regarding it not being about the money. It would make sense to me that the nature of his comment was meant that if the offers were comparable, he wouldnt make it about the money....but they were not even in the same stratosphere, so he may have taken it as a slap in the face by the sox and bailed for 30 % more $$....which is hardly comparable to their offer.
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win." -- Yogi Berra
yankeeno-EVERY team's fans boo when their players don't perform well; this isn't exclusive to NY and it's 'elite' fans. Ever heard of Philly? Quit trying to say that somehow NY fans are more sophisticated (ha!).
<< <i> And the fans booed mariano for one play, in one game, which is hardly the same as completely turning their back on a guy who was booted out of town...your comparison and reference is completely idiotic. >>
Is it now? You whine about Red Sox fans booing Damon (hey, they haven't played a game yet, how could they have booed?) but when 'your' yankee fans were booing a player on their team in April, I just wanted to point out that you cannot attempt to down boston fans for booing a traitor when you clowns were booing your supposed hero. lame lame lame!

Now you're trying to excuse Damon for going for more money, because it was such a substanstially higher number? Please. I don't begrudge anyone taking the max money, but when you come out and say 'its not about the money' then go and sign for the max, then it was obviously about the money, and your word has ZERO weight (hey, kind of like you, bri!)
Lame that you call out boston for fans for booing someone who they haven't yet, but when YOUR fans get called out for booing one of your own, you somehow try to justify it?
Axhole my point exactly about booing your teams players. Most of my game I watch are of course Yankees games. They are a tough crowd. Comes no surprise to me that Philly fans are the same way...or any other fans anywhere else...is that supposed to be surprising? You point was null and just shows the blabber you spill.
bri was all over boston fans for booing damon, saying it was spiteful to boo an ex player. I simply brought up the fact that everyone, everywhere gets booed. Hell, Mike Schmidt got booed...at home.
Well it is absolutley true that players get booed everywhere. I would expect Sox fans to boo Damon. He jumped to the Yankees, World Series ring or not there is going to be alot of pissed off fans at those Fenway games.

Do you even believe the things you say?
Bri was talking about booing Clemens when he pitched against Boston. You completely missed Bri's point about former players playing against the team they once played for.
Here's a clue...Damon hasnt played against the Bosox yet!
So, in essence, what you say is in fact, propoganda.
I think its time to take the 8x10's of Jeter, Mo, and ARod from in between your matress and come out of the closet! You're a Yankees lover! Admit it! You can't get enough of the Yankees biz!
My entire point was bri was jumping on the red sox nation for booing an ex player....but when confronted with the facts of yankee 'fans' booing supposedly one of their bright spots, suddenly the rules of engagement change? Why is it ok to condemn red sox fans for booing a player who is now on the opposing team, but it's ok for yankee fans to boo one of their bright spots? Huh?
That's why it's so fun battling you NY clowns...you guys have no idea how to hold a debate, how to keep your focus, or how to back up your opinions with facts. You switch sides, make ridiculous claims, and seem to have this idea that yankee fandom is above everyone else. That arrogance is why everyone else in the country despises you and your team.

And of course its any fans right, of any team, including the Yankees, to boo their bright spots if they are sucking. All the sudden you are teaching fan morals?

This all started when bri made this ridiculous claim, then I argued back that yankee fans booed Marino this year...their supposed hero, showing yankee 'fans' to be the hypocrites that they truly are.
Now that you've all been spanked, go crawl back under your beds and suck on your thumbs some more. Your mommas will be in later to tuck you in.
First, whether I agree with Bri or not, who says that ALL Yankee fans feel that way?
And because Yankees fan booed a beloved player makes them hypocritical? Seems to me you are holding that to only Yankees fans by your statement. So what do you call fans that boo players on their team? Rightous? LMAO
First of all , there IS a huge difference between booing a player for a bad play on the field while he still on your team, and booing a returning player who gave you years of solid service. Mariano was booed after blowing a game or whatever, but if Mariano decided to leave the yankees for whatever reason he chooses, there is NO WAY on earth he would return to the stadium as an opposing player and get booed.

I am not one to copy and paste the responses of others, then ridicule them. That is Axroid's modus operedi. His trademark.
Yet, let's summarize some of his views if you review this thread.
- The Sox will have more wins than the Yankees this year. - Jonny Damon is a Redsox castoff. - There is too much press about the rivalry (ha-ha). Baseball ! - Boggs was on the downside of his career when signing with NY. - Scott Boras dictates trades.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a clown. Opinionated jerk.
Axtell - let's boil it down to one fact. All BS aside. If the Sox have more wins than the Yankees this season, I will kiss your ass in Macy's window. Blather away.
