The Yankees lost last to Seattle last night 3-2. Rivera gave up a home run, but encouragingly Matt DeSalvo went seven innings, allowing one run. Not bad for a rookie.
Joe Torre sat out last nights game serving a one game suspension for Sunday's skirmish. It was comforting to see Don Mattingly take his place, could that be a glimpse of what's to come?
Bumsville:
The Yankees want Carl Pavano to see one more specialist before deciding to undergo season (career?) ending elbow surgery. How did the bum respond?

"I got three professionals telling me what to do, and now I'm supposed to go to
a fourth?" Pavano said. "There's ligament damage. ... I don't want to have
surgery. But if that's what it takes to get my arm better, that's what I'm going
to do."
As if I couldn't hate this guy anymore. Maybe Pavano doesn't understand that the Yankees expect a return on their 40 million dollar investment which so far has only garnered 5 wins. Maybe Pavano forgot all his talk about wanting to come back and be a part of the team. Or maybe Pavano has his money and just doesn't care. Guess which option I am going with?
Return of the Rocket
In other news David Wells doesn't agree with the Yankees decision to allow Clemens to not travel with the team. To a certain degree I agree with Well's on this. I don't agree with giving any player special privileges like this, no matter what team they play for. My consciouses is going to tear me up about this but that is who Roger Clemens is, a phenomenal pitcher, but a somewhat sketchy character who has an unhealthy sense of entitlement. I have always thought this, even while he was helping the Yankees win World Series titles. When he played for Boston Clemens constantly complained that he had to carry his own luggage when he traveled, and was contractually obligated to charge for autographs. On the other hand the whole reason Clemens retired in the first place was to spend more time with his family and less time on the road. That is certainly admirable.

yada, yada, yada. Was Wells sober when he gave that response? No need to comment further on the whines (or beers) of Wells. Carrying bags shouldn't be an issue. Giambi offered to carry them. The dude is 45. Nobody on the team (the Yankees that is) gives a rat's a@#! if Grampa Rocket spends some time tending to his wheat...neither should you. "Unhealthy sense of entitlement?" Cats half his age don't come close to having his work ethic not to mention a fraction of his success. Go play some AA baseball and strike out one batter and then start talking again about unhealthy senses.
I knew you would grill me for that one and you didn't dissapoint
