who is going to take on these salaries?

It's called getting put on waivers. If noone picks you up you are cut.

By the end of the day the Yankees will be 9 games behind the young Rays.

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."

This is for moneyline. Quit saying crap. The truth is here.

ryanXL977 · 08-11-2008, 03:24 PM

just about every team is 1-2 starters away from winning the division, texas, detroit, yanks, cardinals, i can go on

moneyline · 08-11-2008, 06:25 PM

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)

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. :/

ryanXL977 · 08-11-2008, 06:31 PM

that was a bad trade
farny was good for them

moneyline · 08-11-2008, 06:53 PM

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???)

pavyracer · 08-11-2008, 06:58 PM

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.
