"Idiot" Makes Sense to Me Now

Just watched the press conference introducing Damon, and the boy came off sounding dumb like a bag of spuds.

But where was Jeter? And don't give me that "don't want to hurt best buddy Bernie's feelings" bullshit; he's the team's captain. He should have been there, even if the team had to spring for a jet to bring him back to town for the day and return him to wherever he may be spending his holiday. He's slick enough to deflect anything that might be uncomfortable, asking him to compare the new guy to Bernie or some similar line of questioning. The non-appearance of any of Damon's new teammates, especially Jeter, is puzzling, and kinda bothersome for me.

well, its offical....have fun with the fielding trials and tribulations of Johnny "Just Average" Damon. you're right, he certinly comes across as a major numbskull. and why does Damon think he's so handsome? I'm no pole-smoker, but I'd place him as a 6.5/10. it's strange no Jeter... maybe due to Christmas?

I'm going to reserve judgment until I get a chance to see and here the press conference, so I'm sure I'll be back later tonight with more reaction.

Ok. Just checked out the press conference and all the related crap, and I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the "idiot" for now. I do like the fact that he's battle tested, being on the other side of this blood feud. After reading Cashman's comments, I can understand, not like, but understand why Cash overpaid for Damon. I'll keep an open mind on all of this, but Cashman's comments on Damon not wanting to tone down his personality caught me off guard. Granted, what else was he suppose to say in regards to that? I mean you don't want to alienate someone as soon as he walks in the door, but does he realize he does naked pull-ups in the clubhouse? Like Suzyn Waldman wants to see his junk dangling in her face. Well actually, awwww nevermind. I've just got to feel that the right things are being said publicly, but behind the scenes, things will be handled appropriately.

Well see I persnally never thought he was good lookin or anything,a good hitter and the way he could hit the wall and still come up with the ball was something else. Me being a rude obnoxious and selfish sox fan am certainly going to miss him.Some dude came on the sox blog and said all red sox fans were rude obnoxious and selfish.I know im not any of those things and I always thought yankee fans were more respectable than that.Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and well see you in may.Never underestimate the sox! We are all hoping our co gms know what they are doing.
