Rumors....etc


Carl Pavano may be out for the season according to unconfirmed reports by an unidentified ESPN reporter. I realize that I shouldn't put too much faith in hearsay, but in Pavano's case would anyone really be surprised?

Step down Pavano, Step up Phil Hughes

Phil Hughes is scheduled to start in his first major league outing on Thursday. If the rumors about Pavano are true, Hughes performance could give us an indication as to how the rest of the season will be for the Yankees rotation. Talk about pressure, the poor kid has been groomed like a thoroughbred race horse and now the weight of New York's expectations, and season will be wresting on his ability to hit the ground running.

I have to believe its getting better

As I reported yesterday there are still things to be encouraged about. Despite Pavano, the injuries are starting to play themselves out. Posada and Matzui are back, Wang will pitch tonight, and Chase Wright is back where he belongs (in the minors).

Red Ahead

This weekend we battle it out with the red sox again, hopefully this will be a better indication of each teams actual strength. The Yankees need to pull it together before Friday, because if they can't figure out how to win again it is going to be a long weekend.

Last But Not Least

Congratulation A-Rod on tying the MLB home run record for April.
