Damon Should Stay- Not Because of Last Night
nybaseballdigest.com 27 days ago — Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon turns 36 Thursday. He will be a free-agent soon after.
The club needs to keep him in the fold, not because of his stellar ninth-inning at-bat and instinctive double-steal that paved the way to the Yankees’ 7-4 win over the Phillies in Game 5 of the World Series ...

Game 4: Yanks “Steal” One – On the Precipice
nybaseballdigest.com 27 days ago — All it took was a simple “double steal” to rattle Brad Lidge and bring him back down to earth. When Johnny Damon arrived at the plate Lidge had pitched 4.2 scoreless innings in the playoffs. A bloop single and two stolen bases on one play opened the flood gates and set up another ...
And That Happened: World Series
hardballtimes.com 27 days ago — Yankees 7, Phillies 4 : On the one hand, the double steal by Damon in the 9th doesn't really matter, right? He'd be on second base before the A-Rod hit and still would have scored, even if someone had thought to cover third. On the other hand, Brad Lidge was on the mound, and that guy is ...
One Play Changes Everything
puristbleedspinstripes.com 27 days ago — I know this has been said before, but one play in last night’s game was so important that it bears repeating: Johnny Damon’s steal of second and third base with two outs in the ninth inning.

What a game
yanksgoyard.com 27 days ago — Game 4 was an instant classic. Holy shit. What a game.
Despite Chase Utley owning CC, the Yanks pulled out a hell of a game. Scoring three runs in the ninth after Joba choked on a fat cock, WOW.
The player of the game has to be Johnny Damon. That steal of third won the game; without [...]
So, just how good was Damon’s steal?
hardballtimes.com 27 days ago — As I'm sure you all have heard, Johnny Damon took advantage of the shift to advance an extra base on a steal of second last night.

On The Damon Steal
lookoutlanding.com 27 days ago —
It was a very heads-up play. Not a lot of guys would've been paying attention to third base in that situation, but Damon was thinking the whole time, and earned himself a free 90 feet. There was no risk - he saw that the base was uncovered and knew ...

A-Rod Not Only Yankee Hitter to Blame
empiresportsnow.com 29 days ago —
By now you can recite the statistics. A-Rod is 0-8 with six strikeouts in the first two games of the World Series. A-Rod may be the person that everyone focuses on but other players need to start hitting too. Teixeira is 1-7 with a solo home run and three strikeouts. Johnny Damon is 1-8 ...
Wow!
myteamrivals.typepad.com 27 days ago — Now that was one hard fought game last night. CC did a great job on 3 days rest, Johnny Damon came through big time, Mariano came out blazing and the best thing of all was Girardi made all the right moves. Fantastic! Best part of all was the Yankees won 7-4 to take a 3-1 lead in this Series. ...
He's no idiot after all
boston.com 27 days ago — Yes, Johnny Damon was a traitor to Red Sox Nation. To some, he'll always be a no-good rat. But, admit it, that was a pretty slick move he made to win the game for the Yankees tonight. In case you're...

Quotes From Last Night: Game 4 Edition
fackyouk.blogspot.com 27 days ago — Johnny Damon : I think what I had to see before I could start running to third base was how Pedro (Feliz) caught the ball, so I knew it drug him off some. I’m just glad that when I started running, I still had some of my young legs behind me… You know, it worked out, because I felt like being ...

Damon taking third last night may have just cost the Phillies the World Series.
This is insane . Not even Charlie Manuel knew who was supposed to cover third here:
After the single came a moment that will be long-remembered, and long-maligned, in Philadelphia. With Mark Teixeira batting, ...

Jayson Stark gets Brad Lidge’s reaction to Johnny Damon’s double steal: “It all happened so fast. It is unusual. That’s for sure. You kind of wonder how that happens — or, I guess — how it doesn’t happen more often, with The Shift on. Hopefully, ...

El Lefty Malo
He doesn't have his mountain beard anymore, but Johnny Damon's double steal in tonight's top of the ninth was not only the coolest heads-up play I've ever seen, it was probably the reason Brad Lidge fell apart and allowed the deciding three runs. For those who missed it, it was two down in the ...

For a fleeting moment in the first inning, it appeared that the Yankees might actually steal this one. Cliff Lee didn't look so invincible, giving up some sharp contact and struggling to locate his fastball. After Game 1, Cliff Lee said it had been a long time since he's been nervous playing ...

Life had been good for Brad Lidge and the Phillies last night. Well, if not good, certainly improving; Pedro Feliz had just hit a home run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at 4, and Lidge had dispatched the first two batters of the Yankees’ ninth inning without ...

This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes
1) Watch this video . 2) Tell me what you see. If you saw the same thing I saw, you saw a) a short hop to Ryan Howard, b) no stepping on first base, and c) a throw wide of second base. In theory, the Yankees should have bases loaded, one out, with Mark Teixeira at bat. Instead, the play was ...
