Po$ada Longs for DL, Returns

Let this and Curt Schillings troubles be a lesson to teams facing decisions about whether or not to resign aging players for exorbitant contracts. Po$ada has already missed a ton of games this year, and if he puts off a decision on surgery for too much longer he could miss some of next year too. Sigh. Of course I love Jorge and it is true that he has been playing through a lot of pain this year. However this is more than frustrating. If Jorgie needs the surgery then get it done ASAP. Don't fool yourself into thinking that rehab is going to help. I saw your throws to second on Sunday, and Jorge, you still look like that arm is pretty dead even despite the other shoulder going this time. So it is time to just shut it down and let Molina get his last chances at the plate.

The good news is that even with all of the injuries the Yankees are still only three games behind the sox and 4 1/2 out of first. That is pretty impressive given all the big names who are currently sipping Mai Tai's watching Baseball Tonight.
