Yankees cur$ed?

[Kyyle23]

One has to wonder if the devil finally came to collect from George Steinbrenner, ever since he won those 4 titles and started throwing around top dollars at every free agent on the market, the Yankees havent been the same.

 

Pavano is a puss.

 

In other injury news:

 

• Catcher Jorge Posada left Friday night's Subway Series opener against the Mets after 1½ innings with tightness in his upper back that prevented him from throwing to second. Posada, who is day to day, was hit hard Tuesday by the Texas Rangers' Mark Teixeira in a home plate collision.

 

• Bernie Williams, who got a rare left field start Friday, won't start Saturday because of a tight buttocks muscle.

 

• Reliever Kyle Farnsworth came out after one inning in the 7-6 loss to the Mets because of lower back soreness. "I had it last year. I didn't miss any days with it. Just a lot of pain," he said.

 

• Right fielder Gary Sheffield hit off a tee Friday for the first time since the Yankees put him on the disabled list May 9 with a bruised and sprained left wrist, an injury sustained when he collided with Toronto first baseman Shea Hillenbrand on April 29. Torre said Sheffield could start taking batting practice this weekend and return before the end of the month.

 

• Outfielder Bubba Crosby, who strained his right hamstring during Thursday's 6-2 loss to Texas, was put on the 15-day disabled list Friday, and the Yankees purchased the contract of outfielder Mitch Jones from Triple-A Columbus. A four-time All-Star in the minors, the 28-year-old Jones has never played in the majors.

 

Andrews also will operate next week on reliever Tanyon Sturtze to repair a small tear in his right rotator cuff.

 

"I think it's unfair for us to count on him the rest of the year," Torre said.

 

Shawn Chacon, replaced by Aaron Small as the starter for Sunday night's series finale because of welt just below the knee on the inside of his left leg, said he expects to take his next turn in the rotation after that.

They have been throwing around money, just spending it stupidly. I could not be happier for them.

Nah, their payroll has already dropped $8 million from last year. If George could've afforded more than a $208 million payroll, he would've done so already. The luxury tax has already caused him to cut Yankee employee benefits.
