pending pinestripes is reporting Tabata is out of the rest of the year with wrist surgery and Christian Garcia injured his knee while rehabing from TJ surgery and has receieved surgery for that, his knee that is… – FUCK!

oh yea, if Mo is needing prolonged “rest” how do they justify keeping Farnsy & the consumate professional Villone on the team to take up space????????????????????????????

Agreed on the Varitek point. Not only today’s doubleheader, but depending on the injury they would have no one to catch Wakefield.

This is a cause for concern. When Rivera went out last year for 1 month, he was being used alot. This year, and this recent stretch, he has not been used that much at all. He pitched Tuesday in Toronto, Friday in Cleveland, Sunday in Cleve, and Monday here. This is not an abnormal load for him.

I hear ya Mike R. But at least Buchholz walked the first batter he faced in the bigs on 4 pitches. AND it looks like Mirabelli hurt himself, so Varitek gets to catch all but 1 inning of today’s doubleheader.

Mike R., I was thinking the same thing. Freakin’ Lackey. He sucks.

I know this is off topic, but I need to vent. Of all days John Lackey could choose to stink, he chooses today!!!!! This guy is hurting the Yanks even when he’s not facing us!

Yanks should DFA Villone and call up Britton. Give the pen a fresh arm. With Joba, Edwar and Britton available tonight, then pen should be fine.

Yes, it is. It’s inconvenient that Rivera’s winded at this point in the schedule, but it’s not the end of the world.

Rivera just needs his break.
