talk about a crazy injury season

If Karstens finishes this one off without allowing a run, it'll be 15 scoreless innings to start his NL career. Good for him.

I guess it's Kennedy and Geise to replace Joba and Rasner this time around the rotation. I think we'll see Hughes within the next 2 weeks. Was Rasner sent down or moved to the bullpen?


Kind of off topic with all that's going on lately, but what do you guys think happens with Abreu in the offseason? I'd offer him a 1 year deal and see if he takes it.

I doubt he would take it. He'll be 35 when the season starts next year and it will probably be his last chance to get a big contract. He'll probably get a 3 or 4 year deal from someone.

For some reason I was thinking he was a couple years older. Hell, he's 11 months younger than me! The offseason will be interesting to watch and see what they go after. You gotta think 1B and SP are the priorities, but I think they have to either resign Abreu or bring in someone else. Damon and Matsui are having trouble staying healthy and that is compounded when they actually play OF.


Joba Watch
This from Brian Cashman: Chamberlain has what is being described as rotator cuff tendinitis. He will be rested for a week and then start a throwing program after being evaluated.

They won't offer him anything. That's why they have Nady.

Uh oh. I hope I-Rod isn't hurt now.

Molina is pinch-hitting.

Hopefully they took him out just for precaution. I think Chad Moeller is back at Scranton.

No. There was a collision at home plate. Both players were taken out.

Pudge? Yea bruised knee. They said he's day-to-day. They had to help him back to the clubhouse. Not a good sign. I couldn't believe it either.

Plus-to continue the 'A-Rod is not clutch" debate, I believe he has not had a hit tonight, and he came up at least twice with RISP, including when Derek was on 2nd, and he hit into a double play.

Meanwhile Derek's had two RBI's?


Plus Derek was in Oklahoma City this am for Murcer's memorial service. (May Bobby RIP).

This does not sound good! Eeek. But does that need surgery or just rest?

Crap, they just said Sox and Rays won. Blech!

Also I would like to note-my Mom is watching this game on ESPN in Fla. Every time she watches, they win. W/o Fail. She is their good luck charm.
Go Mom!

what was Jeter doing almost getting picked off. And Alex has a better avg. with runners on 1st. We can go on. I guess he's in a slump now. Are you watching Yankeeography?

I just don't see them expecting Matsui and Damon to stay healthy, especially if they move Damon back to CF due to Melky's ineffectiveness. By the way, Abreu's throw out is kinda getting overlooked because of the collision at home. Big play!

Hughes pitching against the Pawsox tonight.

Betemit with another start tonight, this time at SS.

Hughes 4.1 3hits and 1 run. I think. Something like that. Pavano did well with Trenton. Hughes will get to throw 85-90 next start. Maybe up with the Yanks.

stickboy

I still cant believe we talk about Pavano

I mean seriously

:rolleyes: I dont even care to see him attempt to come back..please
lets just get a real pitcher

Fighting Hellfish

Call me crazy, or just plain stupid, but i actually expect something from him. Only because it's a contract year. If he has a good 6 weeks and possibly a good postseason, someone will pay him.

I doubt he'll be back this year. He's coming off of Tommy John surgery. But who knows?

I'm not sure. But it takes about a year to get to form. I guess it depends on your age also. I've heard people in the game say that they throw better than they did before the surgery. I think velocity-wise. The Yankees to pick Andrew Brackman is coming of the surgery also. He's someone that might make the rotation next year.

igotid88

Moose pitching another gem.

We gotta hope Hughes shows his good stuff when he's back. And Ponson continues to pitch well. And I think the bats should come around.

stickboy

yea...lol..we cant HOPE ...cause Hanks not gonna stand for that..We need a Saunders type or Haren type of pitcher to add..if Hughes turns out to be that somwehere down the line, then fine, but I dunno
we'll see
