Especially with the starters NY ran into...Yes the Yankee lineup is great, but those are 3 very good pitchers... I would like for Kei to step it up against a decent lineup in a pitchers park.
If that's true and we have 3 starters down, we are history. What would that leave us, Pettitte and Igawa?...lol
Personally I don't believe it until the sports sites report it. And I can't believe they wouldn't be all over it if it were true.
Well then, let him pitch with a bad arm anyway. What does it matter? Not like he will lose any more time then the year if he does. I doubt anyone would care much if he was totally ruined because of it. We might get 10 million back if he is.
Now it's on the sports sites. The New York Yankees pushed back Carl Pavano's next start, scheduled for Saturday, for three days due to soreness in his forearm. Darrell Rasner will work the second game of a three-game series against the Oakland A's instead, working on five days rest after his five-run outing in 4 1-3 innings against Baltimore on Sunday. Andy Pettitte will pitch, as scheduled, Sunday afternoon against Oakland. The Yankees trainers are telling the front office that Pavano's soreness is likely a "soft-tissue issue," not a ligament issue. I still say let him pitch with it anyway. Can you imagine Cy Young saying "my arm is a little sore". I want to take the next week off.
Igawa is dealing! 5IP 1 hit, 1 R, 0 ER... 3-1 Yankees While they have bases loaded NOBODY out with Dougie up...
