![]() On Joba? If he is hurt the Yankees are done. Gales makes fun of the Red Sox bullpen but has anyone looked at the Yankees staff lately? And now Joba and Rivera are hurting?

Will Carrol on Chamberlain.. "Joba Chamberlain (TBD) I finally got on a plane around 9:00 p.m., and later, when we landed and I switched my phone back on, it nearly exploded. Somewhere in between was the scene that struck fear into hundreds of Yankees fans, because Chamberlain came out of the game while pointing to the outside of his shoulder. The early word is that his muscle tightened up due to a combination of the blistering heat (I sat in that heat the night before, and yeah, it's a huge factor) and fatigue. It's the latter that's most worrisome given Chamberlain's switch of roles. While he built up his arm strength, no one has any idea how the fatigue will be affected by the shape of his season. He's headed back to New York for tests, so we'll know more soon, but early reports and sources tell me that things look relatively positive, based both on the pain's location, and on his reaction. Expect the Yanks to be ultra-conservative, and for Chamberlain to miss a start at least. We'll know more after the images, but I'll leave the DXL as a TBD for now." |

![]() Not great for Sox either...
from Carroll "David Ortiz (0 DXL) Big Papi felt a click in his injured wrist. A click doesn't sound like much, but it might be the head of Ortiz that the Sox have to worry about, rather than the wrist. For the first time, Ortiz is doubting his wrist a bit, and that's as bad as if it were hurting; we'll have to wait and see how the wrist reacts. While you can see in the picture that accompanies Tony Massarotti's article that Ortiz's wrist is often in precisely the position he doesn't want it to be in, I'm curious about the at-bat with the bad click. He was up against Joakim Soria, and he hit a few foul balls before grounding out to first. I'd bet it was the foul more than the pulled grounder, as it's taking it the opposite way that should put Ortiz's wrist into the worst position. MLB.com doesn't have the video available as I get this out, but I'm sure my readers will tell me how it looked. Watch to see how Ortiz reacts, both mentally and to the treatment he's sure to get" |

![]() Nobody is better than Rivera, but the Yankees have to do better just to get to Rivera mattering at all. He only plays when they are winning or the game is tied. What happened to your Tampa going to fold theory?

Have you looked at the Yankees pitching situation? They have a 7th inning guy that just came off the 60 day DL and isnt that good anyway, no set up guy, marte is hardly more than competent as a lefty and Rivera has had back spasms despite only having thrown 40 innings. Yeah I'll take Okajima, Lopez, Aardsma, Masterson and Pappelbon over Marte, Veras , Ramirez and Rivera. |
