Johnny Damon playing for the Yankees?

Damon is no doubt a good player, but is he worth that kind of money? Seems more like they're paying him for 2 good years or so and then he'll likely decline after that. Of course its not just that the Yanks have a new CF and lead-off man, but the signing took away from the Red Sox. Doesn't look like they're missing him yet though . . .\n\nIf the Yanks win it all and Damon contributes with some heroics, then yes, it'll have been all worth it of course.

White Sox have a fighting chance. Yankees have a great chance since they aqquired Johnny Damon, Red Sox are out of the Contenders and the Cardinals also have a fighting chance.

Damon is a self centerd, middle of the road center fielder.  He only cares about himself and the money.

No...only one stipulation Pedro or Glavine will have to get injured.\n\nyes they will win it all in the NL and play again the Yankees...I hope.

I think the Yanks are going to trade for a starting pitcher, maybe Jon Garland of the White Sox or maybe Dontrelle Willis of the Marlins. They have some young arms that they just received for Sheffield that they may use for trade bait.

Could be.  Who is this Chris Shelton who has been pounding the ball with such authority?  I'd love to see the old Bengals back in contention in the American League.

I am!!!\n\nBeing a Tiger Fan For Life, I never would have thought this was possible.\n\nHow can ANYONE NOT be impressed???\n\nThey have the BEST record in baseball right now. Are 20 games OVER .500 (not UNDER)!!!\n\nIt's like all the pieces are coming together. I believe Jim Leyland is the key. He says it's the players, but he's keeping the players focused on TODAY, not next week.\n\nThey have won 14 out of thier last 15, and are currently \n2 1/2 games in front of the white sox.\n\nWill this last all season? I hope so, but I doubt it.\n\nThe white sox are just too good a team for us to over take (as much as I would love that!).\n\nWe might win the wild card...but seriously i would be very happy if they won 82=84 games (considering they havent seen .500 in 12 years).\n\nWe;ll see...the next 10 games will show us just how good they really are (2 more with Cleveland, 4 with the evil yankees, and 3 with the equally evil red sox).

First of all, the Yankees suck. Second, they keep trying to buy Boston's players because the Red Sox are the BEST team. Unfortunately, Johnny Damon, Babe Ruth to name a few that went to the Yankees are nothing without the Red Sox. The Red Sox will continue to win and will win the series. Plus not to mention the Yankees lost a game to the Nationals that's embarrassing. The Nationals suck even more. Go Boston!!! :)

I think they will have second place in the AL East behind the Yankees, and no wild card position.  Their starting pitching isn't a safe bet anymore and the bullpen is rocky, especially with a questionable Foulke.\nThey will hurt without Damon's ability to make magic on the basepath, and Manny doesn't really seem all too happy to be there.\nThe rest of the American League has gotten a lot better, especially Toronto, so they can't count on those wins anymore.

If they did get Doug Mirabelli, then thank you god.\nAnd, as for Jhonny Damon- if I wrote what I thought about him, I'd probably be reported about 20 million times.\nAnywa, there isn't enough room anywhere to obtain my hatred to him.\nOh well.\nBreak A leg, Johhny Damon!!!!!!!!!! Pleeeeaaasssseeee!!!!

WOAH WOAH WOAH....SANTANA IS NOT FOR SALE!!!  Even if he was...the yankees would have to give up Jesus to get him.  Not gonna happen.  Look for a Livan Hernandez, Barry Zito, Dontrelle Willis, or another pitcher on a bad team that is not young or something else.  So, to answer your question, SANTANA WILL NOT BE A YANKEE.

I say George once again gets what he wants and the New York Yankees get free agent all-star outfielder Jesus, oh I mean corporate Jesus, Johnny Damon. Now they have him and their batting line-up is the best in the majors.  you know the old expression a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, well that's it, the yankees hitting line up has no weak link now.  I wouldn't say their upstoppable only for one little small thing...PITCHING, but that's another story.

Bernie is a Yankee!!   Mickey Mantle, Don Mattingly, Whitey Ford, Joe DiMaggio, were Yankees and only Yankees.  Bernie is on a very special list of players to wear only Yankees pin strips.  Even Yogi Berra can't say that as he played briefly with the Mets before retiring.  If the Yankees offer him a contract, good, if not retire.  My only concern would be that in my humble opinion Bernie would need 300 career home runs and 2500 career hits to give him a real shot at the Hall of Fame.  Right now he is just short on both counts.  With 4 world series rings and 6 AL pennants and a batting title he still might make it.

Are you kidding me!  I have a ton of confidence in them this year.  Did you see our players at the Classics game?  They kicked A$$.  The Blue Jays can't touch us!  Even though Johnny Damon left (He was my fav, its depressing), we've got a great center fielder.  They're going all the way!!

AL: Johan Santana\nNL: Brandon Webb\n\nThe awards will be announced Nov 14 for the NL and Nov 16 for the AL.\n\nOverview:\n\nJohan Santana will run away with the AL Cy Young. He was very close in getting the Triple Crown, leading the league in strikeouts (245), ERA (2.77) and was tied in wins (19) with Wang from NYY. He posted an amazing 19-6 record, making 34 starts, and helping the Twins reach the postseason. He also posted a WHIP of 1.00. Johan Santana is a sure bet.\n\nOther pitchers in the AL will fall very short. Wang from the NYY also managed to go 19-6, however he had a higher ERA (3.63), and low strikeout totals (76K's in 218 innings). Plus being on a Yankee team with that batting order to score alot runs for you every game plays into effect on how many wins he recieved this year. \n\nAnother candidate, whom I thought would have made this a two way race would be Roy Halladay. Surely it was between him and Santana, until Halladay ran into some bad luck near the end of August, and getting injured in the middle of September. He went 16-5 with a 3.19 ERA pitching 220 IP in 32 starts. If i had to pick between both pitchers on the fact on who I would want at the top of my rotation I'd go with Halladay over Santana. Halladay can eat up innings, is dominant pitching in the AL East, one of the best, if not the best pitcher in the Majors. \n\nOverall: Santana will run away with this award.\n\nNL: Two way race between Carpenter and Webb. Put it this way, the selection of pitchers in the NL for this award is just a joke. \n\nChris Carpenter will recieve consideration for the NL Cy Young, the second year in a row. He deserves it: 15-8, 3.09 ERA, 221.2 innings, 184 K's, 5 CG and 3 SHO. He helped St. Louis make the postseason with his conistent pitching throughout the whole season. However Webb leads Carpenter in some categories. \n\nBrandon Webb went 16-8 with a 3.10 ERA, notching 235 innings, alongside with 178 K's and also 5 CG and 3 SHO. \n\nOverall it will be a close race between both Carpenter and Webb. It will be tough to decide who wins, though im leanings towards Brandon Webb winning the 2006 NL Cy Young.

They will replay this game in the form of a doubleheader next time the teams play at Yankee Stadium. I haven't looked at the schedule, it could be tomorrow it could be August.
