Upon the Injury Bug

So picture the Mets without Jose Reyes, Beltran, Floyd, Miledge, and Wagner.

The Red Sox without Manny, Nixon, and Papelbon (as Coco crisp is out)

Any team without their entire Opening Day outfield, plus occasional outs from their superstar and their closer. Thats what the Yankees have to deal with on a daily basis, wondering who is healthy enough to run out there. They just ran off a 5, should have been 6, game win streak with household names like Melky Cabrera! (who may be a player), Terrence Long! (who was on the waiver wire looking for work), Andy Phillips!, and Miguel Cairo!. Bernie Williams who was intended as a spot starter and DH is back to his everyday centerfielder role. I am happy to see the Yankees play winning baseball with role players surrounding 3 stars, as it shows a grit that is admirable. These are all professionals after all. Still, the 2006 season is more MASH unit than Murderer's Row.
