</td></tr></tbody></table><!-- T9410036 for MLB_20060501_NYY@BOS -->Baseball's official opening day might take place in April, but in Boston and the Bronx, this season had to wait until the first day of May to begin in earnest.
Johnny Damon, the charismatic center fielder who helped lead the 2004 Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years, returns to Fenway Park for the first time since signing with the New York Yankees as the teams resume their fierce rivalry Monday night.
Damon was a fixture at the top of Boston's lineup for four seasons, batting .295 with 461 runs scored and 98 stolen bases in 597 games with the Red Sox. His shaggy hair and carefree attitude helped make him a fan favorite and a ringleader in Boston's loose clubhouse, which he helped dub the "idiots."
But Damon's trademark Red Sox performance may have been in Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS at Yankee Stadium, when his two-homer effort led Boston to a 10-3 victory, capping the only postseason comeback from a 3-0 series deficit in major league history and propelling the Red Sox into the World Series.
As a free agent in December, Damon rejected contract offers from the Red Sox (14-11) to sign a four-year, $52 million deal with the archrival Yankees, causing a major stir among Boston's rabid fan base.
"One person expressed concern that his young daughter wanted to get a Yankees shirt with Johnny's name on it," Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said. "And he didn't know what sort of crisis that would cause in the family."
It won't take long to gauge the fan reaction at Fenway Park. Damon is expected to step to the plate as Monday's leadoff hitter against Boston starter Tim Wakefield (1-4, 3.90 ERA).
"I expect them to cheer what our team accomplished back then. Winning the World Series was pretty awesome," Damon said. "I expect them to boo the fact that I'm here. That I went over and that I'm playing with a team that truly needed me, truly wanted me."
New York's new center fielder enters the first of 19 games this season against Boston swinging a hot bat. He went a combined 6-for-9 with two homers, three RBIs and six runs scored in wins Saturday and Sunday over Toronto.
The Yankees (13-10) lead the Red Sox by percentage points in the AL East. The clubs had already faced each other six times by this point in the 2005 season, but they seem to welcome this year's later start to the rivalry.
"It's good to kind of get your legs under you a little bit before the circus starts," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said.
Including postseason, the Red Sox and Yankees have faced each other 71 times since the start of the 2003 season - the most meetings between two teams with Boston holding a 36-35 edge.
The teams appear to be heading in different directions entering this series. New York has won two straight games and six of eight after opening the season 7-8.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have dropped seven of their last 10 games after an 11-4 start. Boston has found itself falling behind early in games recently, getting outscored 16-0 in the first two innings of the last five contests.
"The way we're going right now, the starting pitching has to step up and it just didn't happen," said Curt Schilling, who allowed a two-run homer in the second inning of Boston's 5-4 defeat to Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Wakefield will try to give the Red Sox rotation a lift. The 39-year-old knuckleballer is 8-12 with a 4.49 lifetime ERA versus the Yankees. He lost his last four starts against New York last season.
Wakefield also looks to stop a personal three-game losing streak. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of the losses, but received just two runs support from Boston's offense.
The Yankees counter with right-hander Chien-Ming Wang (1-1, 4.80). Wang lost his only career start against the Red Sox on Sept. 30 at Fenway Park, giving up five runs in 6 2-3 innings of a 5-3 defeat.
The Taiwan native pitched well against the Devil Rays on Wednesday, limiting Tampa Bay to two runs and three hits in seven innings, but did not receive a decision in New York's 4-2, 10-inning loss.
The Yankees may be without right fielder Gary Sheffield, who is day-to-day with a bruised left hand suffered in a collision with Toronto first baseman Shea Hillenbrand in Saturday's game.
Sheffield batted .393 (22-for-26) with five homers and 16 RBIs last season against the Red Sox.

Sure no problem. (is their some starting a gamethread topic i should read?)
Anyhow lets just hope it turns out like the last gamethread i started half an hour early (see opening night vs oakland)Not official site policy in this one, but an entertaing read (with some decent suggestions) nonetheless. :)
http://forums.nyyfans.com/showthread.php?t=70116
Looks like Willy Mo in CF tonight.....Manny, Willy Mo, Trot....I never thought the Yankee OF would ever be SO superior defensively to another club.
ESPN also reporting that Mirabelli might miss the start of the game, which would obviously lead to Varitek catching Wake the whole way through.
I HAVE to imagine the Sox have a backup C in from AAA who can be added to the roster and suit up if Mirabelli wasn't there in time. I can't believe a major league team would start a game without 2 catchers in uniform.
Is there a problem with starting the GT more than an hour ahead? I don't mind, though I am never here that early...
Also I'm not sticking around since my RSI is acting up. I'll be at the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse in Brookline MA tonight to watch the game. I'll be the one in pinstripes!
Is it me, or is MLB really slow to put the lineups up this year?

It depends on the game. Tonight MLB has already posted the lineups for a 8:10 game but not for our 7:05 game.

You can tell the Sox want to win this game tonight if they had to trade for Mirabelli, find a charter flight for him 3,000 miles to Boston this morning and somehow be able to get to Fenway in time to be in the STARTING LINEUP!!

Lorenz: "Let us know if Mirabelli parachutes or hang-glides in, he's gotta beat the traffic."Interestingly, that's what a guy did in the 1986 WS. They never found the pilot, as the guy never squealed. No airplane was found in sight either. Must've come from very high, as he just popped in out of nowhere with one of those "Let's Go Mets" things, as the Mets players cheered from the dugout.

Mirabelli, Tim Wakefield's normal catcher last season when Mirabelli was with the Red Sox, wasn't in the starting lineup Monday night against the Yankees because his flight was not scheduled to arrive in time. Jason Varitek will catch Wakefield instead.

Sorry, Boston, it was a nice try, though. Maybe they should undo the trade, now, since he won't be available for tonight's game

Phillips has no experience with a knuckleball im guessing, oh and we might see some passed balls tonight according to a Boston bulletin..
No Mirabelli
By Eric Wilbur, Boston.com Staff
Doug Mirabelli has been removed from tonight’s starting lineup. Jason Varitek will start in his place and bat sixth.
Red Sox manager Terry Francona had penciled Mirabelli into tonight’s lineup with the hope he might be able to make to Boston before game time, after traveling all day from the California. That apparently did not work out as well as planned.

wow, WEEI announcers are actually criticizing the fans - one of them said, "Really, go around and ask all of them if they'd turn down an extra $12 million"

Michael Kay, after Loretta looks at two perfect pitches and hits two foul balls: "Loretta is REALLY battling up there."

Sox fans=queens of sh*tty chants.
They are throwing money at him -- if the Sox themselves had thought to do that, he'd still be playing CF for them.

ZYanks, would you have thrown a $20 on the ground at Damon?If it were me, I'd throw play money at him. No use wasting real $$$ out there.

What're they chanting? Sounds like "Boston, Boston" but I doubt that's the case.
I think it's "A-Rod, A-Rod"..... Real original.

ZYanks, would you have thrown a $20 on the ground at Damon?
Nope.
I wasn't calling them classless, BTW. Sure, some of them are, but the same can be said for our fanbase.
Every fanbase has bad apples, every fanbase has good ones.
Oh good lord, Ortiz needs to retire.
