Stacked with below average options in LF, the Yankees sign Thames.

First Nick Johnson comes back, now Timmy. The only difference between Nick and Marcus is the OBP.

Marcus's OBP is terrible.

Mr. Alex Rodriguez's 500th home run ball scores $103,579.

That amount is the most money spent on a home run ball since Barry Bond's ball scored about 700k.

Kohler says "you can see where the bat hit the ball"

.... Really?!?! That is worth at least 8 million then.

I guess if you go the cash, you have to spend it some how.

Johnny now wants to be a Tiger.

Detroit is the BEST place on earth. The city is booming, unemployment is low, crime is low etc.....

Well at least that is the case that Johnny is making for all of a sudden.

You are a good player Johnny, but we don't believe you.

Wish you took the money.

Still without a team, Johnny is looking like a broke clown.

Will he sign a deal? Will Boras have to complete a juggling act?

The news continues to go back and forth regardin what the Yankees are prepared to offer Johnny Damon and better yet, will he accept?

Here is what we think Hank will offer... Not so sure Damon will is on the same page.

Will Damon become a professional Bingo player? It is quite possible.

Our technical team at Matsuifan was able to digitally enhance this photo (something we never do) to show you what Damon would look like in 2-3 weeks, if he retired.

This is some accurate stuff.

Schill speaks out: "But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could…."

"Curt,

I bet you’re scared of blood. Just kidding. We know you bled when you beat the Yankees that night."

Thanks Chuck for your timely comments about nothing. I am glad you added "Just Kidding" in there for Curt, as he may have gotten offended by your non-joke.

Johnny is still awaiting and no one is knocking. Detroit's economy can't sustain Damon's demands and neither can anyone else really.

Damon could be looking like a fool with is pants on the ground.

Pants on the ground pants on the ground
Lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground
with the gold in your mouth, hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground,
call yourself a cool cat
lookin' like a fool
Walking downtown with your pants on the ground
Get it up!
Hey, get your pants off the ground!
Lookin' like a fool,
Walkin, talkin' with ya pants on the ground
Get it up!
Hey, get your pants off the ground!
Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground
Gold in the mouth, hat turned sideways
pants hit the ground,
call yourself a cool cat,
lookin' like a fool,
walkin, talkin with ya pants on the ground
Boom, yea pants on the ground
lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground!
with ya gold in your mouth, hat turned sideways
pants hit the ground, call yourself a cool cat...

Curt Schilling is said to have impacted the race in Massachusetts.

Democratic candidate Martha Coakley called Schilling "another Yankee fan" in a talk radio interview.

Both Schilling and Guiliani have endorsed Republican candidate Scott Brown in the upcoming election.

Curt answered the statement "But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could."

Coakley representative Alex Zaroulis responded to the comment, telling Politico that it was a "very, very deadpan" joke.

"Curt Schilling has been involved in a lot of strike outs over time," a Coakley spokesperson said in an e-mail to Politico. "I guess Martha whiffed on that joke." (Source)
