Notice all of the injured players are plus 33 years old: Jete, Giambi 37, Posada37. When does the eventual breakdown of Arod occur? The oldest part of this team is quite vulnerable to further injury! The farm sytstem can't get Tabata, Jackson, et. al. up here fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 The real question is do you give 4 year contracts to 36 year old catchers?

Having a Molina at catcher for several consecutive games is nothing to sneeze at. just read this entry.

He did us no favors today, as every single Hughes gave up wound up an automatic double. The Royals ran on Posada every chance they got. We've already won games this season scrapping together runs. We'll have to do more of it. We’re better off in the short term with Posada on the DL. He did us no favors today, as every single Hughes gave up wound up an automatic double.

I thought all the extra pushups, chinups and running in ST would alleviate most of the potential injuries... Give 'em ice cream darn it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

I was just thinking back to David Cone's situation and wondered if anyone remembered if he had pain. I didn't think he did and so I automatically wondered if it could be that. But there is absolutely nothing other than my vivid imagination at work here. I don't mean to panic anyone with that suggestion.
