Rafael Soriano Could Be Gone Awhile


"A third MRI on Rafael Soriano's elbow has prompted the Yankees to send the pricey reliever to see Dr. James Andrews, report Mark Feinsand and Sean Brennan of the New York Daily News. The writers note that this marks Soriano's sixth elbow-related DL stint; he's a survivor of Tommy John surgery and ulnar nerve transposition surgery (MLBTradeRumors)."

Wow, what a fucking bust. Anytime you hear the name Dr. Andrews you know it's bad news. Soriano was on his way back, but suffered a setback while throwing a bullpen session. From the sound of it the Yankees did not like what they found in their MRI and now are sending him to see a specialist.

You know right now is sitting in a dark room evilly laughing to himself. He told the Stienbrenners that this was a terrible idea, and as the article goes on to say, if this is indeed a long term problem the Yankees are going to have to go out and spend more money (and maybe prospects) to fix their bullpen. Oh yea, let's not forget they will probably need a starting pitcher or two.

Rafael Soriano Hits The DL


"Soriano landed on the disabled list Tuesday and is expected to miss at least another two weeks, reports Ben Shpigel of the New York Times. Soriano didn't help matters by blaming the offense, and the not the bullpen, for the team's recent slide (ESPN)."

HAHAHA, I feel like I could write a negative story about the Yankees everyday. Jeter is blowing up, Posada is being a little bitch, A-Rod seems to be on the decline, and Soiano looks like a complete bust. You should never call out any one part of your team. You can't be a pitcher and say the offense is costing you game. Rumor is that Soriano is the most hated person in the locker room, and on top of that he hasn't pitched well all year....Not a good combo. All of this just makes Cashman look smarter, since he was the one who was pissed that they were giving up a 1st round pick in this year's draft to sign this assclown.
