It would appear that the Yankees are going to lose Jorge Posada for a prolonged period of time after reports of a tear ofhis subscapularis(???) muscle in his shoulder. This is extremely bad news for the Yankees for a few reasons – his bat is very important in the lineup and Chad Moeller, who looked to be a capable backup, may not clear waivers.
Chien Ming Wang is now 5-0 and has come up big in games where we really needed a stopper. Today was just an excellent display of pitching from both teams.
Aaron Laffey goes against the Yankees tomorrow. Mike Mussina is on the hill for the Yanks, coming off a 7 inning 2 run performance.
Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes should most definitely stay in the rotation. I’d give them both to the end of May before beheading them in Times Square for poor performance. I just can’t believe supporters who are angry about the fact that a 21 and a 23 year old are struggling to come to terms with the NY media and the fans expectations. Not to mention a certain owner who isn’t making their job any easier.
