Quick Catch-Up
So, it is official, I am a slacker. Been a month since my last posting, the Yankees have moved up in the power rankings, and are currently riding on a seven-game winning streak sweeping both the Astros and Padres in interleague play.
During this stretch, starter Chein-Ming Wang injured his foot while running past third to score a run. Results shoe a torn ligament connecting his first metatarsel (toe bone) to the tarsal (arch bones). He also slightly tore a tendon that help with the curvature of the arch. Brian Bruney suffered a similiar injury and is still out.
Wang, and the rest of us, hope that he can overcome this injury, and project a September return.
Yankees need to ber aggresive in the hunt for a starter to replace (temporarily of course) Wang. With Phil Hughes anf Ian Kennedy out until after the All-Star Break, the pitching has been domilished.
Mussina has stepped up his game, and Pettitte is average Pettitte.
Rumors have it that the Yankees are seeking to bring back drunkard Sidney Ponson. A.J. Burnett may be another option, but there are still two and a half months until the trade deadline.
The Yankees can afford to dump one of their 83 outfielders.
It's just weeks away from the MidSummer Classic at Yankee Stadium, so click on the All-Star logo and get some gear. Slackers....
