In response to fl+adam,'s comment:
The Yankees were certainly due a visit from the injury bug we had last year. With their age they should have expected it sooner rather than later. I would think this would be enough to knock them well back in the division, but they have weather this type storm before.
The ole grey mare, she aint what she used to be....

As a Yankee fan I don't expect any sympathy from any fanbase nor do I feel any for any other team when players are injured it's just part of the game..
The Yankees will deal with them and move on.
I can understand the Schadenfeude here.
Actually some of the comments are funny.

Any thought on what theyre going to do with Tex out...Youk at 1b? Nix/Nunez at 3rd? Or maybe a trade?

i would imagine they move youk to 1B.. he is now the cog that will make the Yankee offense run. if he gets injured they have no chance at all..... he is an excellent 1Bman, and it will help to keep him healthy.

hey SP, i'd have to go with mef's choice, Youk at 1st, probably Nunie at third, but the wrench in those works could be Jeter's readiness and the possibility of having to put Nunie at ss....this situation was the beauty of having Swish to fill in...this is gonna be rough.. not that he doesn't, but Cash will surely have to earn his coin this season...

Really sorry to hear about all of the Yankees injuries. You never want to see anyone get injured. The only positive is that it is still early in the season and many of these players will be back eventually. Better than having all of these injuries late in the season and then it is impossible to trade for someone.

Heard on the radio today that of the Yankees' top 10 home run hitters in 2012, eight are either on the DL or with another team.

Bojo, since my 2013 Red Sox budget was 110 to 120M, you are out to lunch. I don't mind spending, it's how much and who it is spent on. The Red Sox can't compete with the Yankees, on revenue. Thus, the markets are different. The Red Sox have to be better managed than the Yankees. The Yankees, despite some bad contracts, have had far better management than the Red Sox. It is reflected in the AL East standing every year.

Proclaming a Yankee demise is a bit premature. Many of us will have egg on our faces if they finish above the Red Sox in spite of their setbacks. Now, if they finish like the Red Sox did last season, party at Smiley's. There will be cake and ice cream (both food and poster). Shirts are optional.

Tex back in mid May is hardly a big deal. Most players of his caliber blow in April anyway. He can easily have an explosive summer making you wonder if he had ever even hit the DL.

In response to muddytoes' comment:
"Teixeira has been diagnosed with a tear in his scapholunate ligament and will require an extended period of immobilization. He will be re-evaluated in eight weeks. There is currently no time-table for his return."
Woohoo!
No need to celebrate this.... its classless!
I agree. Nearly everyone here hates the Yankees but cheering an injury to a player is.....classless.

In response to redsoxpride34's comment:
all those years of cheating are finally catching up to the yanks, not to mention buying championships. its never good when a player gets injured, nor would I would I ever wish an injury on someone, this is just pure karma. Now texiera is one of the players i dislike the most in the mlb, so its good to know that he will not be helping the yanks and hurting us for awhile.
Kind of amusing considering your moniker & photo.

In response to jimedfred's comment:
What kind of fans cheer the physical misfortunes of competitors ?
To BE the best, one has to BEAT the best. Without the seasoning and tempering of a tough division race, how can a team expect to prevail in the post-season ?
It's similiar to some political thinking........most conservatives don't HATE liberals, we just pity their naive lack of critical thinking, and yet many liberals HATE conservatives as being evil.
Whereas a sound reasoned argument or analysis can reveal which policies actually work.
U mean like women's bodies, global warming, the Earth being 6000 yrs old & science in general?
