Damon aka "pavyracer jr" calls out teammates after loss to Boston
After Thursday's embarrassing loss to the Boston Red Sox, Johnny Damon called out his teammates. He admitted that the New York Yankees have been a disappointment this season and they are running out of time to turn their season around.
"We're not playing up to our expectations. That's never good," Damon said after the Yankees emerged from the 30-minute team meeting that followed their 7-0 loss to Boston. "The Steinbrenners spent $200 million on us and we haven't shown what we're made of. I know this is one game and we have 75 games or so left, but we better do something soon. July 31 comes sooner than you know it, and I know a lot of guys here don't want to go to another team or even be in that conversation. This is a team that's built to win, to get to the playoffs and to win a championship. By July 31, we better be in a good spot. We're damn lucky to put on these pinstripes. We definitely need to set a better example of what putting on these pinstripes means."
Damon also said that the Yankees' struggles this year have been embarrassing.
"When you put the pinstripes on, there's a lot of pride that goes with it," Damon said when asked about the Yankees' lineup, which went back to struggling a night after scoring 18 runs against the Texas Rangers. "There's 55,000 fans out there. There are many media outlets that are going to talk about, 'How come the Yankees aren't scoring?' It's embarrassing."
Damon, who is in his third season with the Yankees after being one of the vocal leaders of the Red Sox's first championship team in 86 years, pointedly praised his former team on how it manufactured runs and played "team baseball."Comment -
XL977 too bad Livan did nothing for the Giants when he was around..The guy throws junk up there and eats up innings and has been a serviceable starter for years..haha...nice call on an easy twins win....slowey v. laffey tomorrow and cleveland has lost like 6 straightComment -
yankees are 1-2 pitchers away from being a contender. its too late now thought their not gonna make the playoffs.wang got hurt at a bad time. with wang in their rotation they wouldnt have to start rasner that phuckComment -
Damon only opened his mouth because he is doing wellComment -
if yankees lose today...no player should be allowed to play in the new stadium...trade everyone of emComment -
This is for moneyline. Quit saying crap. The truth is here.Comment -
just about every team is 1-2 starters away from winning the division, texas, detroit, yanks, cardinals, i can go onComment -
Pavy, wait until the Yanks are eliminated from making the playoffs before you flap your gums too much ...
It'll make you look a bit less stupid when they do ... by a bit, I mean just a bit, however.
(and if you are right, you = a broken clock)Comment -
They had Farnsworth and got rif of him for an older guy Pudge whos not been too affective, and Marte is no bargain, as he has RUINED many games so far.
Farnsworth was young, and improving. He had a promising future for them.
But I guess old is the new young. :/Comment -
that was a bad trade
farny was good for themComment -
Farnsworth has been a bum as a Yankee, finally had two good months and the Yanks unloaded him for what they could get -- they sure as heck weren't going to resign him to another big contract next year, repeating the same mistake with the same person twice ...
(and this, his breakthrough year -- how many HR's has he given up again, in how many innings???)Comment -
Yeah right. Yankees are like 6-10 since the trade. I posted this about 3 weeks before the trades. You can't make the playoffs being below .500 after the trade. Just look at their schedule. There are no easy teams in the AL. Even the Royals go 2-2 on series with big teams. Yankees haven't swept or won a series for months now.Comment -
nady isnt why they suck though
they suck bc of everyone elseComment -
Did I hear Mantle ??Comment -
how do you dismantle a team of overpriced pieces of shit that nobody else wants
nobody wants arod
nobody wants jeter, nobody wants sexson or giambi
maybe someone wants cano, maybe abreau, but i doubt itComment -
You doubt anybody wants Cano or ARod?
Ryan, please stop posting. You are an idiot.Comment -
atr the price, nobody wants arod
thats why nobody else made an offer
you are right, everyone else is wrong
yanks are great
you know mlb, we are all idiots
you winComment -
Ryan, try to have a coherent thought. First, you said nobody wants them. Now you are saying nobody wants them at their current salary?
Try to actually present an actual complete thought. I know you can do it. You come so close sometimes.Comment -
cano yes, arod no
Nobody wants any of the yanks players AT THE SALARIES THEY ARE AT RIGHT NOW
not even debateable mr tough stuffComment -
Two posts ago, you wrote you sincerely doubted anybody wanted Cano. Now, you post Cano yes.
Dude, you contradict yourself minute to minute. Amazing.
"Nobody wants any of the Yanks players at their salaries right now."
Really? Not Joba? Not Hughes?
It is very easy to say you don't want something you can't afford to have. Like you saying you wouldn't want to date Jessica Alba. She's out of your league. You can't afford her. So you don't want her. R-ight!Comment -
Once the yankees sign Teixeria in the off-season they will be fine. Jeter really needs to step his game up. He's played absolutely horrible this year.Comment -
they need pitching, hitting, and apen
then they will win 95 next yrComment
