River Ave. Blues ยป Open Thread: Wang’s injury, Hall of Fame day

Open Thread: Wang’s injury, Hall of Fame day

July 26, 2009 by Benjamin Kabak 119 Comments

Yanks end 9-1 homestand with 7-5 victory
All Montero, all the time

As we head into Sunday night, we have a piece of news on a Yankee pitcher and a day of celebration up in Cooperstown.

After the game, the Yankees revealed that injured hurler Chien-Ming Wang will head to Alabama on Monday to meet Dr. James Andrews. The baseball medical expert performed surgery on Wang in 2001, and his diagnosis will determine if Wang needs rest or surgery. No matter the outcome, Wang is pretty much finished for 2009.

Meanwhile, up in Cooperstown today, Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice headlined the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Despite his arrival in Cooperstown, Jim Rice will never really belong in my mind. Nothing has changed between this year and the 14 other times he didn’t make it. Also on the slate was Joe Gordon, a one-time Yankee middle infielder. Fack Youk profiled this forgotten Yankee. Check it out.

On another note, I’m heading out of town for ten days tomorrow afternoon. I’ll have a few more posts up over the next few days, but for the most part, Mike and Joe along with a few guests will take you through the Yankee road trip and the trade deadline. It’ll be a fun ride, and I’m sorry to miss it. I will, however, be back in time for game two of the Boston series.

Anyway, here’s your open thread. You know the drill. Anything goes. Just be nice.
