(NOTE: Mirabelli arrived at the stadium IN UNIFORM and in a police escort, barely in time. This is a GUESS for a lineup, I took the one online and placed Belli in for Tek)

(Damon is getting booed heavily)

Wakefield/Mirabelli thing is like a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks love story movie.

[Fishercat]

It doesn't matter who requests it, if someone does, I'll move it over.

Damon is getting booed pretty heavily, until he tipped his cap. Go figure. Fickle, fickle fans, and good for then. Johnny Sucks chants breaking out 2 pitches in.

Damon flies out to Nixon.

And Jeter getting slightly lesser but audible boos

[Kingdom]

Request what?

[Fishercat]

Jeter with a groundout.

[Fishercat]

A copy on the main forum, I was making it a post for the other thread, but whatever.

[Fishercat]

I assume that is some sort of steroid chant towards Giambi, just by what Remy said (they brought out all the chants).

[Providence A's]

I just find it ironic, hypocritical, and hilarious that some Sox fans are upset that Damon left for more money / for the Yanks when a) Damon did the same thing to Oakland and went to the Sox (which of course casual Red Sox fans don't even know) and b) when you stole Foulke from the A's the same way the Yanks stole Damon from the Sox.

[Kingdom]

Giambino..... fighting.

[Kingdom]

Almost...

[Kingdom]

No commercial break, just to hear Damon get booed. LMFAO, jesus ESPN.

[Fishercat]

Man, Giambi had bad luck. Any other part outside of the triangle and that's a HR.

And I don't blame Johnny for going, but two problems with your comparison

A. The A's and Sox are not rivals like the Sox and Yankees are
B. Damon won a title with the Sox (not to mention, said that he would not sign with the Yankees).

[Fishercat]

The lineups are correct.

Youk walks (or HBP? Not sure, I missed it since my grandmother was talking to me)

[Kingdom]

How good was the prospect Boston gave up for Mirabelli?

[Fishercat]

I must've missed the person who threw money at Damon. I hate to laugh, as I abhor people who throw stuff on the field...but...*smirk*
