Yankees Lose To Red Sox Nation
I bet most Yankees fans knew that Ortiz was going to hit that home run off of Myers when the count reached 2 and 0. David Ortiz is a true Yankee killer. And for some reason, us Yankees fans have never been given good reason to hope that one of our relievers other than maybe Mo will contain David Ortiz.
David Ortiz looks overweight and out of shape, but let's give credit where credit is due. He's a damn fine hitter. He hits with power, hits for average, and unlike A-Rod, comes through time and time again in the clutch.
Personally, I think that the fans in Fenway who booed Johnny Damon last night are big losers. Every single one of them that doesn't already have more than 50 million dollars in their savings accounts would have done the same thing that Johnny did in going to the Yankees as a free agent.
Boston thought that no one would give Damon more than 40 million for 4 years. They clearly underestimated the Yankees. The Yankees came through and gave Damon slightly more than he might be worth.
Bottom line: Johnny Damon did what 99.9999999% of the people on this earth would have done under the same circumstances. And that includes those in Red Sox Nation.
Judas Damon? No loyalty? People who take the time to make signs like this are pitiful. Like you would give up 12 million dollars to be loyal to a corporation that has shown nothing but disloyalty to several players from the 2004 World Series team?
Where is Bill Mueller? How about Pedro? And what about Bronson Arroya?
Red Sox Nation would like to think that Jason Varitek is a true Red Sox, loyal to Boston and its fans. But do you really think that Varitek would have stayed in Boston had the Yankees offered him 52 million over 4 years when the Red Sox offered him 40 million for 4?
We'll never know the answer to that question, but we all know what the likely answer is.
In the same light, if Derek Jeter's contract was to expire at the end of this season and the Red Sox offered him 20 percent more than the Yankees did, I would completely expect Derek Jeter to go to the Red Sox. And you know what? I would hope that he performs just as well as he has. Because I am a fan of Derek Jeter. Not of Steinbrenner.
If anything, Boston fans who booed Johnny Damon last night and who will boo him again tonight are showing by their actions that they are the ones who are disloyal.
Johnny did his part in saluting the crowd last night. He is a true stand up guy.
Those who booed him are the real idiots.
