That is a shame. I hope there are not long term effects.

I wonder which DL they put him on?

I thought I saw it was 7 day.

I thought I saw it was 7 day.

That is slightly encouraging.

rumors are already floating out of NY and their sports media hypes that he is done for and needs TJ.

We shall see.

Flying out to see Chris Ahmad, at the America Orthopaedics conference in Seattle.

Pitchers with small hands who throw too many splitters get elbow (TJ) problems.

Koji has bigger hands.

Koji has bigger hands.

Koji throws it 44% of the time but as a reliever.

As a starter Tanaka leads the league in throwing splitters with 25%, next is Kuroda with 22%.

Kuroda has large hands so gets away with his splitter.

MLB club insiders thought that Tanaka was a time bomb ready to blow out his elbow

Live by the high priced FA's, die by the high priced FA's.

Live by the high priced FA's, die by the high priced FA's.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving team.

Just imagine once jeter is gone next year and A-fraud is back.

What an absolute house of cards.

TANAKA OUT AT LEAST 6 WEEKS

A partially torn U.C.L.

They're being foolish to try and rehab this. They're gonna lose him for next year too.

See Bundy, Dylan. They were going to anyway.

Yet they have billions to fix their owie. The opulence there is disgustingly rigged in their favor. I am surprised they do not win every year.

[incubus]

And yet the Yanks are hanging in there in extra innings (11th as of this post). It's amazing they're still over .500. Shout out to Satan... but I gotta think they're running out of dark magic.

Ftfy...

Exactly.

There is no "risk/reward" factor for the Yankees. For most teams, if they splurge on a couple of highly expensive free agents that don't work out, that team will be pretty severely hamstrung financially as a result for several years. For the Yankees, it doesn't matter if they spend a lot of money on free agents that either bust and/or don't live up to the expectations that they had of them when they gave them all that money (Carl Pavano, A. J. Burnett, Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixiera, etc.) Or for that matter, Derek Jeter's current contract. Jeter wasn't a free agent signing, but considering the ****load of money that they gave to him when he signed his contract extension back in 2010, he isn't coming close to playing like a $17 Million a year signing. They just keep spending and spending with little or no repercussions.

Hence, there nothing is remarkable about them being a contender year in and year out, with or without their injuries.

If I were a major league G.M., and you gave me the financial restrictions that MacPhail and Duquette have had on them, they would hang me outside of O.P.A.C.Y.

If I were a major league G.M., and you gave me more than $200 Million a year to work with every year for 10, 11, 12, 13 years running, I would find a way to put a winning team on the field every year.

Teixeira Out with Mild Strain

(By Chad Jennings)

http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2014/07/21/teixeira-out-with-mild-strain/

I'll give Teix one thing, he is really forthcoming in interviews. Between him saying his back hurts really bad, indicating it's worse than Girardi is letting on, to (what was it last year) admitting he wasn't worth his own contract.
