The baseball gods may just have doomed the Bombers to a bad season, a year where they get to see how the other half lives.
Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso each homered and the St. Louis Cardinals, set to play the whole season without All-Star shortstop Rafael Furcal, beat the New York Yankees, 7-6, on Thursday.
It seems Mo will call it a career after one last season in the Bronx -- and the announcement is reportedly set for Saturday.
Mark Teixeira is confident that the New York Yankees can overcome key injuries likely to impact the team through the first month of the regular season.
"Let me say what I've been saying: $189 (million) is the goal," Steinbrenner said. ..."That is the goal, but in no way, shape or form will we sacrifice our commitment to field a championship-caliber team. That's not going to happen."
Lasorda, all sorts of fired up, was an in-studio guest on the "Boomer & Carton" show Thursday morning -- and he was fantastic.
What a day in the life of the Yankees. Imagine what happens when the games begin to count.
Mark Teixeira is going to be out until at least early May with a strained right wrist tendon, the latest major injury setback for the New York Yankees.
Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes says he is scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday for the first time since being sidelined by a bulging disk in his upper back three weeks ago.
Major League Baseball intends to expand the use of instant replay for the 2014 season and will be studying over the course of this year which calls to review and how to do it.
The media references to Teixeira's injury noted the involved area to be his wrist -– a joint, while also pointing to a diagnosis of strain. This doesn't totally compute.
Sure, the Yankees are banged-up. But the Mets have the Johan Santana mess -- plus an outfield by committee, and not a particularly great committee at that.
"I'm obviously worried about it, because wrists are very unpredictable," Cashman said. "Even if you can get a positive diagnosis back — which, of course, I'm going to hope for — that still doesn't mean we're out of the woods."
Teixeira underwent an MRI which revealed the strain. He was to head back to New York with team doctors to have the wrist looked at by a hand specialist on Wednesday, WFAN's Sweeny Murti reported.
