I would love to see Beltran in a big market but Not box (nor would I want him on the Yankees)....

[Guest Anglesault]

Crap.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Fuck Boston. They are the Yankees without the wins.

[Guest Anglesault]

Or the class.

 

Jesus Damon wouldn't pull that shit here. :) :)

The trade has a 5% chance of actually happening, if that. Why trade value for Beltran when he'll be available this off-season anyway? For that matter, why acquire players now when there's a slew of available talent waiting this offseason?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

I didn't know we paid on average $10mill for every position we field. That's news to me.

Growing your hair and beard out is such a classless thing to do.

 

Johnny D should apologize immediately for being such a classless individual.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

When you're a Yankee you throw Free Will away for endless millions.

As badly as people try to push the "Jesus Damon" or Caveman shit, it's getting harder and harder for Sox fans I talk to to deny that he looks like a homeless man.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

well Jesus looked like a homeless man, who generally look like cavemen. In conclusion, Jesus was a homeless caveman.

 

anyway, the Seattle/BoSox bit is actually ok, but Beltran for Freddy Garcia is just balls. Like Al said, they'd be better off with the compensatory picks then Garcia.

That still fails to equate long hair and a beard with classlessness, which, I should note, means you're equating me with being classless as well

 

When I think classlessness in baseball, I think of the way Barry Bonds has acted over the last several years, not Johnny Damon just wanting to grow his hair and beard out

What "classless" things has Bonds done lately, not involving the media?

You know classy bag men?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

I have a beard, long hair, and more class than you'll ever achieve AngleSault.

All right, someone already brought this up in the TWiB thread, and this thread is spiraling off topic, so I'm closing it.

 

If you want to discuss the trade, do it in the TWiB thread.

 

EDIT: I thought about it, and I might have jumped too early. Let's just stay on topic here and not turn this into flaming or YET ANOTHER Sox vs. Yankees thread.

Thank you for reconsidering. And I agree. Take the personal stuff to Hardcore Discussion.

One off of the top of my head is leaving the union so he could go with the "You want to use my name? Pay me" method. The man has more money than the next 3 generations of his family will be able to spend and yet he does this. The real people that suffer are the kids who want to play a videogame and be the biggest homer threat in the game today. Along with that I believe jerseys with the Bonds # and name have been pulled from racks as well.

[KingPK 0]

And I HATE how Bonds has to stand there and admire every single homer he hits. The fact that people jump all over a guy like Manny Ramirez when he does it (Game 5 of the 2003 ALDS, as an example), while ignoring Bonds doing it is really hypocritical.

How is that classless? He's getting fair value for his abilities, something for which ALL of us strive. The videogame thing is pointless. Three minutes of editing and you've got him in MVP Baseball. And I don't think a lack of $150 jerseys is hurting anyone.

Just out of curiousity I looked up the word "classless", and it in fact is not synonymous with being an asshole

 

Need to find a different word for it

 

Like.... "asshole"

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Al, as George Murisein(sp?) said so many years ago "And shoot one for da kids"

 

Think of the kids man. 8 year olds are too stupid to edit the man. He doesn't need the extra money and a man with class would just say to hell with it and let the kids and other fans enjoy being his fan. It seems like he's alienating himself from them more and more through these acts though.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Perhaps. But the way I see it, he's never been in trouble with the law. Same with Clemens. These "asshole" characters the media and fans love to tear down do nothing to earn those labels outside of their dealings with the press. The real assholes are committing crimes, raising havoc, and not contributing. Bonds hits, and that's my only daily viewing of him. Therefore, he's OK in my book.

[The Czech Republic 0]

What's wrong with Johnny Damon growing his hair out? I'm growing my hair out. Does that make me a classless asshole? No. (Because I was one with short hair too.)

 

I don't think there's a true correlation between well-groomed hair and no beard and success. Otherwise, the '89 Flames never would've won with that caveman McDonald at the helm.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Badly-groomed teams.....

 

93 Phillies

70s Oakland Athletics

 

It really doesn't matter, except from an image standpoint. Winning starts first and foremost with talent.

Plus Damon has made a deal with Gillette, who are going to pay him a certain amount of $$$$ to shave off the beard and hair for charity. Knowing that it's in Boston, it's probably the Jimmy Fund. What a classless dick he is, indeed.

I heard just the beard. Charity notwithstanding, we can't risk the hair. He may have developed a Samson complex, and we do want the Red Sox in the World Series, do we not?

[Vern Gagne 0]

Guys the discussion was supposed to stay on topic. Johnny Damon's hair is not on topic.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

It is on topic. Damon is part of this trade, and whether or not he has a Samson complex is vital to understanding his future value.

 

Enough with the Thread police.

Personally, I think that the Red Sox have an excuse to spend so much.
