redandwhite Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:01 AM) Try both. I think taking your batting gloves off at home plate may be one of the most classless things a ballplayer can do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> See, I just don't understand the double standard here. I absolutely loved Pierzynski a couple weeks ago stepping on Boone as he crossed third, but was it classy? absolutely not. I guess when its someone you like, you're not going to mind him doing it.

He tried to get out of the way... no intention on stepping on his back. Manny ramirez's intention after every homerun is being a grade A jackass.

AJ's was unintentional where Manny's is intentional. big difference. I loved Carlos Lee when he was on the Sox but I wanted to slap him around every time he stood at home plate gazing at one of his HRs. I love the way Juan Uribe immediatley puts his head down and runs after hitting a HR, act like you've done it before.

Either way, the replay made it look intentional, and Hawk and DJ certainly thought it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny ramirez's intention after every homerun is being a grade A jackass. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My favorite thing is when dumbass Manny watches balls that he thinks are homers and then ends up with only a single instead of a double because his lazy fatass doesn't run the bases. I could never root for that fat, lazy slob. Sure, he can rake but he's an absolute idiot of a ballplayer. He is a complete joke in left field. Who the hell lets Carl Everett score from 1st base?

Either way, the replay made it look intentional, and Hawk and DJ certainly thought it was. If he wanted to make it intentional, he would not have spread out his weight as he did by holding his arms out to his side. He would have just stepped the f*** right onto his back and dug in. QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:48 PM) The guy is one of the best centerfielders in the game, his fifteen minutes are not up. However, its been every single series that he's come out with the same old bs, and if there are positives from my perspective as a Red Sox fan, its that today was Damons last game in a Red Sox uniform. Edmonds? Beltran? Jones? Sizemore? Wells? Hunter? Clark? Griffey? Dejesus? I would probably take all above Damon, either considering how they are now offensively, how they will be within a couple years offensively, all things considered on the field, or all things considered including money. Damon is good...but he's not among the best CFers in the game. And lucky for him he signed with Boston, became a media lovebug, and will now sign somewhere for a ridiculous amount and be incredibly overpaid.

DBAHO Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) Hunter? Could very well be seeing Torii Hunter in CF for the Red Sox or Yankees next season. Where Johnny Damon goes however will have a lot to say on that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) It's nice to know that Damon was really concerned with winning and his teammates instead of his own personal finances for next year.

SSH2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Did he even have a hit in the series? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damon went: .231 (3 - 13; 2 singles, double) 1 BB 4 SO 7 LOB So he was pretty awful as their leadoff man in the series.

GoodAsGould Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 RedandWhite Carlos Lee got a lot of heat here just for watching his HR instead of running right away so what do you think people are going to think of Manny standing there taking off his gloves and so one.......... I personally dont mind much but I guess it really ticks some people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as people here can say AJ stepping on Boone wasn't intentional, I could just as easily say he was adjusting his gloves because he thought it was going foul. People just seem to overanalyze stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokona Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 How about after Pierz scored, he turned around and put his hands up as a show of no hard feelings? I doubt he would have done that if he tried to put him into the ground 4 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
