OK..........so now the Yankees lost another outfielder to injuries. Last week Gary Sheffield injured his left wrist in a collision with Shea Hillenbrand and is now on the DL. Now..............last night Hideki Matsui fractured his left wrist while attempting to catch a fly ball in the first inning. So now it will be Johnny Damon in centerfield, and then Bernie Williams, Bubby Crosby and Melky Cabrera will platoon and fill the other two spots. I have no problem with any of these guys in the field. They all play hard and make great plays (as demonstrated last night).
My only concern is that already there is talk of the Yankees looking outside of the organization for a new left fielder. WTF?!?!? Do we really need Torii Hunter, or Shannon Stewart? NO!! Let's use the damn farm system! Isn't that where guys like Jeter, Bernie, Pettitte, Mariano and Posada came from? Aren't the they the ones that were a part of the core teams that won 4 World Series in 5 years (1996, 1998-2000)? If Steinbrenner goes out and spends more money on guys that we don't need (aka: Jarod Wright, Randy Johnson, Kevin Brown) I'm going to lose my mind!!! As a side note..............if you click here and then open the link that says "Crosby robs a homer" look in the stands at the guy in the black jacket and blue shirt. That's my buddy Matt!! Bastard didn't tell me he was going to the game!!!
OK............enough about the Yankees. On a happier note, I'd like to wish all the mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day. It is my wife's first and I am going to do my best to make sure she is taken care of all weekend.
