If you thought this season for the Yankees hasn't gotten worse already, It has now. Johnny Damon injured his left shoulder in the third inning. Boston's Kevin Youkilis hits a fly ball to left field, Damon went back, leaped, and made the catch. Or so it seemed. The ball went to Damon's glove, and bounced out as he crashed to the wall, landed into the fence, and back in play. Damon got up, and picked up the ball, and threw to third, but Youkilis slid into third. It was ruled a two-run triple. Talk about a bizarre play. The Yankees lost the game 6-4.

Where is th ball, and why did he miss it? Did he turn into Abreu...kidding. Well, he wasnt playing everyday, isnt the best in the outfiled; but the bat well be missed. Its his bad shoulder too. The one he ruined in highschool...not good. Bring up Tabata or Jackson. Theyre pretty nasy players in the minors...or screw Mitchell and get Bonds. He played left last year, and our left is smaller. If not, then make it offical and let Mtichell Manage our team ... Sorry, nice catch on the injury, just early and I am hung over dude, and one pist Yankee Fan...as I am sure all are. I am about to call for a fan strike so as to not pay that salary anylonger....they are the team with the most titles of all sports, and are now the biggest losers. I havent felt this down about the Yanks in ....since the 1980s. But they had a salary cap too!

This is rediculous. When will the yankees finally cath their break this season. They have been so injured all season. The only regualr starting 9 that havet been taken out of the lineup for injury is giambi. Thats messed up. They need to do something quick because this is really starting to piss me off.

The offense isn't any different today, 3rd inning, bases loaded, 1 out, and Giambi and Betemit does not deliver.
