Johnny Damon

Agreed. I have players that can fill his shoes. That lackadaisical swing however? No chance.

Damon is out of the lineup tonight... start Sexson or Taveras?

May 1 Damon, bothered by recent back troubles, didn't start Tuesday night against Texas but expects to return to the lineup this week.

Advice: Damon had flown to Florida on Sunday for several sessions with his chiropractor. He said he felt better but that manager Joe Torre wanted to sit him as a precaution. "I'm feeling great," said Damon, who expects to play Wednesday. "I'm ready to get going and help improve on this bad April that we've had." Damon is batting .229 and suffering through a 4-for-32 slump, but he downplayed the injury's effect on his hitting.

That's great news. I just hope he's not rushing his return.

watch the forecast tonight

[Bwanna]

Man, I know he wants to play, and my roster needs him back, but I don't trust what he's saying. I think he just really wants to play.

A previous source (can't remember) said he was hurting all over, and after a couple of days he feels great?

I hope so, but I don't believe it.

[NYYANKEEZ25]

Are you guys starting him tonight or not? I can't decide, its between him and Pence.

[Shizane]

I say start Hunter

I'd start Damon

[NYYANKEEZ25]

I think I will go with Pence only because Damon is slacking right now and he's somewhat hurt, I don't think he will play that great. His batting average has dropped significantly. I dont know how much he can do.
