any news?
 

On Joba? If he is hurt the Yankees are done. Gales makes fun of the Red Sox bullpen but has anyone looked at the Yankees staff lately? And now Joba and Rivera are hurting?

Later Joba, see you in 2011 with an 89 mph fastball.

Hard to believe that Barry Bonds couldnt fit into left field in the Mets lineup as opposed to Evans, Chavez and the other 7 dwarfs

It is idiocy, there are about ten teams that should be fighting each other to get him. Instead they are signing class acts like Sidney Ponson.

SIR Sidney Ponson...

Will Carrol on Chamberlain..

"Joba Chamberlain (TBD)
I finally got on a plane around 9:00 p.m., and later, when we landed and I switched my phone back on, it nearly exploded. Somewhere in between was the scene that struck fear into hundreds of Yankees fans, because Chamberlain came out of the game while pointing to the outside of his shoulder. The early word is that his muscle tightened up due to a combination of the blistering heat (I sat in that heat the night before, and yeah, it's a huge factor) and fatigue. It's the latter that's most worrisome given Chamberlain's switch of roles. While he built up his arm strength, no one has any idea how the fatigue will be affected by the shape of his season. He's headed back to New York for tests, so we'll know more soon, but early reports and sources tell me that things look relatively positive, based both on the pain's location, and on his reaction. Expect the Yanks to be ultra-conservative, and for Chamberlain to miss a start at least. We'll know more after the images, but I'll leave the DXL as a TBD for now."

Not great for Sox either...

from Carroll

"David Ortiz (0 DXL)
Big Papi felt a click in his injured wrist. A click doesn't sound like much, but it might be the head of Ortiz that the Sox have to worry about, rather than the wrist. For the first time, Ortiz is doubting his wrist a bit, and that's as bad as if it were hurting; we'll have to wait and see how the wrist reacts. While you can see in the picture that accompanies Tony Massarotti's article that Ortiz's wrist is often in precisely the position he doesn't want it to be in, I'm curious about the at-bat with the bad click. He was up against Joakim Soria, and he hit a few foul balls before grounding out to first. I'd bet it was the foul more than the pulled grounder, as it's taking it the opposite way that should put Ortiz's wrist into the worst position. MLB.com doesn't have the video available as I get this out, but I'm sure my readers will tell me how it looked. Watch to see how Ortiz reacts, both mentally and to the treatment he's sure to get"

... Victor Martinez is expected to start a rehab assignment later this week. ... Expect Livan Hernandez to sign with the Mets by mid-week

uh oh...

They have officially hit panic mode. When your top three starters in AAA have ERAs of 5+ it makes things tough.

Bronson Arroyo never looked so good...

OR Randy wolf or greg Maddux

You know the Bombers are in trouble when they are hoping to maybe get a contribution out of Carl Pavano.

supposed to be on the way to Birmingham to see Dr. Andrews.

no question we are in trouble if he is out for an extended peroid . look for washburn or arroyo or both to be in the bronx asap

chuck maybe you can stable a few a belmont for the fall and come over and see them after 'toga


red sox pen does stink though !!

That sounds bad

never a good sign if you are going to see Dr Andrews

Brian Cashman called while i was out, wanted to know if scott boras was still my agent...

Thr Red Sox pen is better in all positions than Yankees. So if they stink, what do you have?

sure Chuck

I think GPK has a better chance than Del Carmen of getting people out , but , what do i know

and go ahead and take Papelbon over Rivera

Nobody is better than Rivera, but the Yankees have to do better just to get to Rivera mattering at all. He only plays when they are winning or the game is tied. What happened to your Tampa going to fold theory?

never said that Timmy , show me where i said the rays would fold and you and the misses have dinner on me when i get to town

Sorry Gales, it was your buddy who said that.
I wish he was right. Everybody is saying how great the Angels have been, what about the Rays? They may be just as good. Every morning I wake up and check the scores its the same thing- Rays win. I want them to go away.
