Yankees news for August 6 --------------- Click here for full articles: http://www.baseballfans.net/yankees/articl...040806054942883 Brown's reply is Randy who? August 6 New York Daily News: The biggest blow Kevin Brown suffered yesterday didn't come at the hands of Eric Chavez, Jermaine Dye or any of the other A's sluggers. Strangely enough, the player who caused the hurler the most pain was his own catcher, Jorge Posada. It wasn't entirely Posada's fault, however. With two outs in the sixth inning of the Yankees' 5-1 win at the Stadium, Dye skied a popup just outside the third-base line that Brown, Posada and Alex Rodriguez converged on. Posada, thinking he had a play, whipped off his mask and threw it behind him - right smack into Brown's groin area. Brown doubled over, A-Rod made the catch and Posada sprinted off the field, not realizing what he'd done. After taking a deep breath, Brown picked up the mask and carried it with him as he jogged to the dugout. "I guess I was in the wrong spot," Brown said with a smile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posada & Sheff are sore subjects August 6 New York Daily News: Jorge Posada said his right thumb was "not very good" after yesterday's game and Gary Sheffield was "woozy," but neither player seemed to think he was seriously injured in the Yankees' 5-1 win over the A's. Posada was clipped by a foul tip fromDamian Miller in the second inning, the ball striking him on the pad of the thumb and not the nail, according to Joe Torre. Posada was wearing a bulky wrap on the digit in the clubhouse, but expected to play tonight against the Blue Jays. Sheffield suffered a blow to the left temple in the third inning, when he collided with A's second basemanMarco Scutaro's foot during an inning-ending double play. Sheffield, who was examined by Torre and trainer Gene Monahan as he lay in the dirt, said he initially thought he was struck by Scutaro's knee, but was told that it may have been the player's spike. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gordon gets day for relief August 6 New York Daily News: "I needed to play a little catch," Tom Gordon said, but it wasn't going to happen. The game was a ho and a hum and two outs away from ending, the Yankees in front 5-0, the new stadium just around the corner and across the street, and the A's were already on the plane to Minnesota. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O'Neill Eyes Dugout Job (Eventually) August 6 New York Post: YES analyst Paul O'Neill has designs on coaching and/or managing one day. "I think I'd like to take the road Mattingly took," O'Neill said this week. After retiring, Mattingly, now the Yankees' hitting coach, took time with his family before returning to the Yanks this season. O'Neill said that in the offseason he will evaluate what he wants for his broadcasting future. It is very important to him to be around his three kids, who are 14, 12 and 8. O'Neill is scheduled to call 20-plus games this year. As for next year, he sounds like he is keeping his options open. "I will do more or less, but I imagine I'll do something," O'Neill said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No Red Sox For GM August 6 New York Post: Imagine Yankee lifer Brian Cashman running the Red Sox after his Yankee contract expires following the 2005 season! According to this coming Monday's New York Magazine, Cashman's wife, Mary, says that's not out of the realm of possibility, although she admits it's a long shot and isn't happy about how her comments were presented. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Winter Revamp Is Paying Off August 6 New York Post: The Yanks might have lost the trade deadline by failing to scam the Diamondbacks into forfeiting Randy Johnson, but nevertheless have their best record after 107 games (68-39) since the blessed season of 1998 because of a massive winter overhaul. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Battle of his life August 6 Newark Star-Ledger: George Steinbrenner opened his wallet, but this time the payoff wouldn't yield a multimillion dollar player, a pennant or a World Series. He invested in part of the organization's future: Tim Battle Jr. The Yankees outfield prospect was 17 and just 27 games into his professional career in July 2003 when doctors diagnosed him with B cell lymphoma, a form of bone cancer. The organization contemplated releasing Battle -- the Yankees' third-round selection in the 2003 draft -- but kept him and Steinbrenner paid more than $40,000 for Battle's medical treatments. --------------- Click here for full articles: http://www.baseballfans.net/yankees/articl...040806054942883 |
