Oh SNAP.
Ouch.
I love how every time someone gets hurt during the season, the Yankees are rumored to be after a quality player like Bobby Abreu. Because the second-place Phillies are going to just give him to the Yankees, just because they are the Yankees. "Gee, you'll give us Melky Cabrera and Jaret Wright for our best player? Wow, that sounds awfully promising, we'll get back to you."
I'll give you six reasons why Matsui's injury won't be any factor in why the Yankees don't make the playoffs: Jaret Wright, Aaron Small, Ron Villone, Scott Proctor, Tanyan Sturtze, Chien-Ming Wang.
You don't win pennants with six pitcher on your rosters who are that mediocre. Adding to that is the fact the Unit is showing his age, Moose isn't likely to keep this up, and Shawn Chacon is Shawn Chacon.
Ah, how I love to see the Yankees fail.
