Nick Johnson hasn’t had an injury free season since 1999. This time the Yankees gave a young player plenty of opportunity.

I’m afraid you’re right, hb, there are 10s of millions of non-baseball reasons.

Phil, that’s funny as hell.

BTW, seen Griffey’s line lately? Hey, we picked up Jaret Wright and Kevin Brown…we gonna let a little thing like a tissue paper hamstring stop us?

I have a prediction…the yankees will lose two out of three to Pitt and pick up a game in the standings

I figure, if we keep losing two out of three- we will be in first place by the all-star break

oh where have you gone Nick Johnson?

“no rational baseball case”

You’ll need a lot more than some minor detail like that to get him out of the lineup.

Well put SL, the entire post put the season so far into context.

I will say this one more time: Based on their offensive contributions this year and their defense, there’s no rational baseball case for Giambi to start over Tino.
