Pregame news includes Alex Rodriguez rejoining the team following the birth of his daughter. He hasn't run since straining his right quad, but is confident of avoiding the DL and hopes to play soon.
Brian Bruney is wearing a boot on his right foot, and has a mid-foot sprain that occurred as he went to cover first base two nights ago. Judging from the sound of things, it may wind up putting him on the DL. He underwent an MRI and that has yet to be read by the New York doctors. He'll also see a specialist in New York tomorrow.

regarding the new energy of the club discussed on earlier thread.
and the distinction bewteen Jeter Energy vs. Cabo and Melky energy...
I do not like it when Cano and Melky do that double congratulatory
jumping high 5.
Alot of times it seems like Jeter is nearby and un amused.
Kind of ' act like you've been there before '
Third World city
Third World team
Third World antics
Third rate results
It's really that simple ...
But does it really matter that they dont' respect the game or play it right? Does it matter that the Red Sox use pink bats on Mother's Day while young women in military uniforms watch the game with limbs blown off? Where is the sanity ANYWAY in our culture? On or off the baseball field?
Cano and Melky are really uneducated children. So let them act like children. Who cares? It's like the bread and circuses of Ancient Rome.
Don't let it upset you Cleon. They don't know any better. These players did not have fathers to teach them to play the right way. Without a father, what chance to any of us have to become men?
Ant Colony, I find your descriptions of Cabrera, Cano and the Dominican Republic insulting and inaccurate. Cano did grow up with his father around. I don't know about Cabrera. Either way, I think those comments are over-the-top. I don't post remarks often about comments such as that, but seriously ...
Well put Kat.
Ant- get a clue as to what you are talking about before posting nonsense like that. You have no idea who Cabrera and Cano are.
They are Latino... ergo not the kind of players Ant wants on his team
He wants upstanding people... like Rick Ankiel
Nobody should be surprised by that crap. Ant Colony is a racist and says stupid stuff like that all the time.
I'm still trying to figure out the pink bat comment
I hate Cano, he seems like he has an attitude, I would send him down until he can learn how to hit again, wake him up, give him a taste of reality.
I'm sure Girardi was trying to protect Hughes from having to warm up 3 times .Girardi was hoping Ohlendorf would shut the door for 3 innings but the best laid plans....
Giambi pops up w/ the bases loaded.
Unless Ensberg has poor career numbers facing Jenks I'd not have taken him out for pinchhitting Posada who is not a good PH.Who would you rather have up in that situation ? Ensberg who had already contributed a key base hit or Jorge who'd been sitting around for 4 1/2 hrs? Anyway Jorge grounded into a DP .
I hope Bruney's foot sprain is a mild one and he's back real soon.
