The Red Sox's nefarious plan to lose a bunch of games finally comes to fruition, as they put in a claim on Johnny Damon — to block the Rays from landing him. [Boston Herald] More »

The signing of Randy Winn instead of Johnny Damon has convinced one season ticket holder not to renew. I agree. A lineup of only eight 8-figure salaried all-stars just doesn't show enough of a commitment to winning. More »

This is how Johnny Damon chose to celebrate teammate Nick Swisher's home run on Monday against the Rays. We've seen this before, of course. Still, the mystery remains: What ever could this gesture mean? The I-Team is on the case. More »

Everyone makes a whole fuss about the comeback player of the year award in baseball — which this year seems destined for Carlos Pena, though there's no shortage of candidates — but The Angry T suggests a far more enjoyable honor: The Go Away Award, given to the player who clearly showed this year that he's over the hill and will provide only diminishing returns for the rest of his career.

That's A.J. Pierzynski and David Eckstein, two people who have never been in our kitchen. In this "promo" clip, Pierzynski does some Springer trash talk before a "surprise" guest shows up and makes his own team. More »

And so the debate rages: Does Johnny Damon, or doesn't he, suck? We refuse to take sides, but one thing we can report is that our nation's babies are now involved. A New Bedford housewife, still miffed over Damon's defection to the Yankees, had been trying to sell "Johnny Damon Sucks" baby bibs on eBay. That was until Damon's agent, Scott Boras, got wind of it and filed a couple of stacks of legal documents to have the item removed. But the mom, Ann Sylvia, fought back, and in negotiations with Damon's lawyers, worked out a deal to get the bibs back online. She just can't use Damon's full name, or the Yankees' logo. So Sylvia is now claiming victory. Read the e-mail exchange between Boras and Sylvia here, and laugh along with us as you get to the part where Boras claims that the bibs are an encroachment on Damon's "intellectual property." Finally, Sylvia could not let the matter rest without a final shot at Damon's current state of Yankeeness: More »

We're not gonna spend half our show on this game today, but we did want to allow Liam — the "H of C," yo — to file his report, if just to encourage everyone else that filing video reports from games you go to is fun and educational. Plus, you'll get a cool nickname. More »

Forecast for the Boston area tonight: cold, with chance of falling objects. It' s the return of Johnny Damon to Fenway Park, of course, and we all look on with a bit of trepidation. We don't know what to expect, but we're secretly kind of hoping for the Jerry Springer Show of baseball games. Have Red Sox Faithful had sufficient time to get used to the fact that Damon has turned to the Dark Side? How many fans will be packing signs? We're all pretty much sitting at our desks looking at the clock, waiting for school to end so we can rush out to watch the big fight between the two kids who hate each other. Only this time it's Damon and, like, every kid at school. Or, as Boston's David Ortiz said to the Associated Press: "It's going to be a little crazy out there tomorrow." More »

Via the brand new and most entertaining blog The Big Lead, we were pointed to an interview new New York Yankees Johnny Damon gave to New York Magazine's Stephen Rodrick. The story itself is a good read — we love the analogy of Damon sent to the Yankees to remove the collective stick from their collective asses — but the best part: When Damon discusses his sex life: More »

Just to be mean, the New York Post ran this photo illustration on its back page today, and we officially enter Day 2 of the Johnny Damon to the Yankees story: Acceptance. Red Sox fans are having trouble with the move, including one saying, "enjoy your corporate haircut, Johnny: You're dead to me." (Even our big sister at Gawker is getting in on the act.) Oh, and we just found an eBay page where you could buy Damon's soul, though, unfortunately, the sourpusses at eBay have taken it down. More »

The results are in from our poll asking you who the mystery steroid postseason AL outfielder was, and the winner: Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield! We supposed we could have guessed that. Despite several commenters' insistence that it couldn't be Sheffield because the story was confirmed by the mystery player's agent — Sheffield currently has no agent, because Sheffield is crazy — he was the runaway winner in the poll. Johnny Damon came in second place, mostly because of the big head, we suspect. More »

Remember that famous episode of "Family Ties," when Alex P. Keaton, way behind on his studying for his midterms, has to take speed to stay awake and ends up getting addicted? (Our favorite part is when he paints the hallway at 3:30 in the morning and installs an underground sprinkler system.) We're reminded of that every time we read about the "amphetamines problem" in Major League Baseball; we think it's funny to imagine, say, David Eckstein all jittery and hopping around, sliding across the field in a desk chair and offering to clean things.

Well, it's 5:30, and no announcement from Selig and company about steroids suspensions as has been widely rumored. We're keeping an eye out, but, of course, we'll just ask Michael Kay about it, if we have to. More »

Well, today's the day. The Interweb has been all abuzz with rumors for days now that Roger Clemens/Johnny Damon/Gary Sheffield were about to be squashed under the steroid hammer of MLB. The Web was so a-twitter about everything that even the dinosaur print reporters noticed what was going on. (Dan Shanoff even wrote about the rumors — naming names! — on ESPN's Page 2.) This, of course, makes it less likely that an announcement will be made today; MLB doesn't like to make it look like they're being scooped by bloggers. But the sources are still standing behind their stories: Roger Clemens has tested positive for steroids. And the news will eventually get out. It always does. More »
