YANKEES SUCK
Tomorrow night I will be at the first Yankees/Sox matchup of the year, at Fenway Park. I have tickets in the center field bleachers, 8 rows up from the field, behind one John Damon. I will boo him, jeer him, and shout obscenities until my face falls off. Go Sox.

Just remember who was the hero of the Yankees/Red Sox 2004 ALCS Game 7.
OH! You dog, you.
May you have beer spill on your silly head. :)
What are you some kind of Yankee fan? They're not welcome on this site...right Doug? :-)
Actually...I'm sure there will be plenty of extra security/police as is the case every time New York comes to town. I'm just psyched I was able to get tickets, and that it shouldn't rain tonight.
Come on, Doug - A Rod could have ran into the dugout and put on Posada's gear before the fight, but he chose not to. Is that really Varitek's fault? Real men take the first shot in a fight by shoving their oversized mitt into a man's face while wearing a mask. THAT'S how you fight!
Anyway, Damon was the face of the Sox and the "Dirt Dawgs" and was the heart and soul of the team. He was one of the top reasons you don't hear "1918" chanted in Yankee Stadium anymore. Before 2004, I was worried about the rivalry between these two teams if the Sox ever won the Series. I feared that a Championship (which is what baseball is all about) would subdue the Sox fans. I guess I severely overestimated you guys. Apparently, you're still as bitter and irrational as you've ever been. You're about to boo and throw beer on a guy you called "Jesus" for 4 years.
If your face falls off might you still be able to post? :>)
Yes, GO SOX!!!!!!!!!
Great game.
Jeremy, how much $$$ did you lose last night? Were those your $20's I saw on the warning track in center?
I heard of a shirt that was being sold outside the stadium last night:
"Looks like Jesus.
Acts like Judas.
Throws like Mary."
As dumb as I think the Sox fans are for their treatment of Damon, I've gotta give props for that one. Funny stuff.
Alright, alright. I’ve been buried at work for most of the day, but feel the need to respond to all these comments. It looks like the NJ/Maine rivalry has spilled over on to the web site :- )
Let me first say something I usually reserve for the ladies, and that is last night was amazing.
I’ve been to approx 50 to 75 Sox games in my life, including a few Yankees games, and one ALDS game, and last night’s atmosphere was probably one of the most electric that I can remember. The lines were twice as long as usual, the corridors twice as crowded, the circus outside of the ballpark more elaborate than ever. Never have I been to a game at Fenway where the entire place stood standing perfectly still before the leadoff hitter of the other team was announced.
As usual, there were a few thousand Yankee fans in attendance, none of which (at least that I saw) had a Damon jersey on. The only Damon jersey’s I saw were of red sox fans, most of which had the entire name duct-taped over, or the stitched letter “A” in Damon removed and replaced with an magic marker or taped “E” to read “Demon.”
When walking into the ballpark, a giant, professionally made sign hung from the upper level of Gate C at Fenway the read “JUDAS DAMON” with the “O” in Damon a Yankee symbol with a line through it.
On several occasions people walked by with shirts that said, “No Beard, No Hair, No Loyalty, No Thanks” or my favorite, “Looks Like Jesus, Acts Like Judas, Throws Like Mary” (Funny, I never heard any Sox fan say a thing about Damon’s girly throws when he was on our team). Inserted into each game program you could find ‘wanted’ posters with Damon pictured (not wanted dead or alive, as in Osama), but instead of the old wild west slogan, it said, “NOT WANTED” across the top instead.
There were more huge, ridiculous signs at the game than what you’d see outside the glass at a typical Today Show taping. At one point the bleachers looked like a sea of posterboard, and often times I found trying to read each one.
The ESPN cameras of course focused on Damon’s first plate appearance (and I’ve been told the fake money showered down from the upper bleachers and green monster sections, literally 50 feet away from where we sat, caught the camera’s attention as well), but the most brutal abuse came when Damon would trot out to his position in center field and most of the fans in the bleachers in front of him would greet him with their signs, standing o-boo-tions, and several middle fingers. At one point during the game the “Fuck You Da-Mon!” chants rang so loud, Damon simply took off his cap a couple times as if to say, “thanks, great to be back” as if to make fun of how ridiculous the entire situation was.
When he played for Boston, I always liked how Damon would acknowledge the fans, especially when they treated him like a rock star. He’d always gesture, wave, smile, and interact with the bleacher fans behind him, and obviously last night was the first time he's played that position and kept all to himself.
As for Joe Torre, he's an absolute idiot. What kind of reception did he think he'd get here? Of course people appreciate what he did and what he meant for this team - that's why they're so pissed! If you come into any stadium wearing the uniform of your biggest rival and the fans DON'T react, well then you didn't make much of a difference there, did you?
Now - you Yankee fans might think they way the fans reacted was classless - I thought it was all in good fun, and personally I'd much rather be at Fenway where the fans have a ton of baseball knowledge, sell out every single game throughout the year, and get on their feet several times throughout the game as opposed to sitting in a half empty stadium in San Diego, where a "suicide squeeze" is defined for the fans on the jumbotron in between innings.
a. I am a Red Sox fan and I thought it as classless.
b. Since whe have we cared about class.
c. Well, I'd take that much shit for that much money. He's not a New England native. This rivalry means nothing to him.
