Damon getting back into the lineup is HUGE for the Yankees. No doubt that a few weeks ago, Damon was the sparkplug to all of the offensive success that the Yankees had. But why can't anything just be positive? With this good news, comes the news that Jorge Posada is back on the DL with his ailing shoulder.
If I were a betting man, I would say that the Yankees would shut Posada down for an extended period of time to let the shoulder heal properly, which may mean the end of the season, especially if the MRI he is taking tomorrow shows that he will need surgery. This is a huge blow...Thank god we have a decent (great defensive) backup catcher...Imagine if we were looking at 2 1/2 months of Sal Fasano or Wil Nieves starting as our Catcher?!
Would love to see Sidney Ponson keep things going tonight against the Twinks...Nick Blackburn is going to to try and avoid Bobby Abreu's linedrives this time...
