Not sure if you'll believe there is yet another injury to a Yankees' pitcher, but that is indeed the case. Starting right-hander Darrell Rasner was hit by Endy Chavez's comebacker on his ninth pitch of the game. He attempted to warm up again for a couple pitches, but that was a no-go as he left the mound in obvious pain.
Mike Myers just threw his first pitch.

I was really hoping gator was gonna rip off the wind breaker...
I gotta say,
What in the name of heaven and hell is Torre thinking??
Myers, a Sox cast off because he couldnt pitch to RH's, in there pitching to the hot hitting bats of the Mets?
Mind-boggling.
LMFAO at Yankees and their fans.
Now we need Jeter or A-Rod to get hurt!
So, we have had a few injuries. LMFAO won't be LHFAO if the team gets angry, fired up and finally starts playing like it can ... No more trainers to be fired, no more hamstrings have been pulled. We will be ok. It's just 200 million ... its just a 10 game lead ... it's just May ... it's only a game!
Go Yankees!
No Vamanos Los Mets, Equipo Bueno!
Nothing to beat the sheer unadulterated class of red sox fans, coming here to laugh about an injury to a player, and hope for more.
Wouldn't expect anything less from a Red Sox fan. And got to love the Mets fans cheering the Rasner injury as he walks off the field.
Anyways, I thought this was funny:
UPDATE, 4:28 p.m. For those of you interested in media gossip, Suzyn Waldman screamed at Christopher Russo for about 10 minutes before the game outside of the WFAN booth. She was furious at how Mike and the Mad Dog made fun of her call of the Roger Clemens announcement at Yankee Stadium. An eyewitness told the LoHud Yankee Blog that they thought Waldman was going to slap Russo.
I hear Clippard called up Bud Selig to ask if rookie pitchers for the Yankees could use the bp screen when they take the mound for the rest of the season.
If I were not a pacifist I would say that a slap to Russo can't be a bad thing...
As Jeter was quoted in Newsday today re: yesteryear. "It doesn't matter who we put out there or where we put them."
That was then, this is now, and that is a microcosm of how FAR the team has fallen.
That intangible you can't put your finger on ...
If that ONE statement were still true ... well there you have it ...
nice play Damon....
Vizcaino in. Might as well forfeit.
If there is a God, He just CAN'T be pleased with Red Sox fans. What comes around, goes around -- and that day is closer than red sux fans imagine.
or is that what goes around comes around? whatever, the message is what counts.
I can accept what has occurred to Rasner even Joe putting in Meyers,who I believe should be selling Hot Dogs in the upper deck at Tampa Bay. But Cano's first error that infuriated me. I wish Martin was mgr. Cano would be out of there in front of all the fans. I don't care that he hit a HR. certain players on the yankees will loss respect for Joe for his stubornness not to show authority openly.
To read the Met and Red Sox fan postings reminds how pathetic both franchises truly are. Here are the Mets who haven't won a World Series Title in 20 years laughing at the Yankees. Are they kidding me? This is the same franchise that wins a playoff series against a pathetic Dodgers team and they annoint themselves the greatest franchise in NY. The Yankees are down. I will give them a chance once all their pitchers are back. Its a small chance but a chance nonetheless. If the Yankees, by some miracle meet the Mutts in the World Series I know the Yankees will kick their ass. Now to the Red Sox. The team of one Championship in 86 years fame. Who cares what the say do at this time of the year. Win it all and i will be impressed. At least they won a Championship in this Century. Right now it feels like the meek shall inherit first place. If this doesn't go away (our losing) than let's see these prenial losers win a title. And then let's see them win 26 World Championships and then when you get the 27 start making fun of the Yankees!!!!
red sox and their fans are BLOATED -- physically, mentally and emotionally -- a true sign of ultimate failure.
A-Lo
I'd love to share your enthusiasm but by tonight it will be 12.
-We need baby and senior Rocket. When they do show up we have to hope "Simba" is really as "ready" as he looked and wont be "ruined" by upping his innings to unprecedented counts.
We also need to have Mufasa not decide this is his year to finally be washed up garbage.
Even then major changes will need to take place before we can even begin to think about a postseason.
If we go 12 games back? 13 15??
4 GET IT!! - Wildcard country.
I hate math but I know that double digits with a Team that is murdering the division at a 700 clip will not be caught...Sorry catastrophic injury or not fuggggggg et it.
I don't care if you change the locks on Abreu/Giambi/Damon. They're inconsistency has me so angry that I'm nearing the point where I'd rather have peace of mind and play with garbage AAA'ers. Maybe even take the year off all of em. Forfeit and rebuild I don't know whatever it takes so we never have to watch anything like this again.
CHIP!! WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU
I NEED TO ASK CRAZY QUESTIONS SO YOU CAN SHOOT THEM DOWN. YOU ARE PACK LEADER BETWEEN YOU AND FRANCESSA I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT. I NEED ANSWERS!!!
Hey PTRS, why are you $hitting on the Yankees?
Stay positive, don't jump on the bandwagon.
They will come back and the amazing Torre will lead his team back to a World Series championship this year.
I absolutely LOVE these posts from the "appalled" Yank fans regarding the behavior/posts of Mets/Sox fans. I mean my sides hurt from laughing.
Are you F'ing kidding me!!!
There is nothing more arrogant, more sanctimonious, more offensive than a large percentage of Yankee fans. I mean have you idiots ever listened to yourselves??
So, moron...perhpas it IS a case of "what goes around, comes around"...how ya liking it? Keep eating that crow...it'll do ya good.
This posts IS NOT intended for the good folks I typically converse with on here...and you all know who you are.
Team meeting after the game. Be there!
casual observer, you come here with your sarcastic remarks about the Yankees and their fans, along with other low life red sox fans -- why? what is your goal exactly? You are here all day making snide remarks -- why? you give us updates when sox are winning. why? what's your point? you are such a phony, it's sickening.
Well, dipwad,
You're here with your idiotic brainless posts too...tell me why??
The pitchers are dropping like flies, but there is no excuse for the offense being so bad.
Hey Casual, Why are you so hostile? Are you still suffering from pinstripe envy? Dude why don't you go back to your cave and put on your World Series highlight tapes of your favorite teams LAST CHAMPIONSHIP. IT WILL BE AWHILE TOUGH GUY. Sorry us Yankee fans annoy you. But when you root for a team that wins all the time its hard to humble. You loser!!!
Diane,
You are certainly right to be upset about anyone enjoying anothers injury. Although I saw fans at Shea Cheering FOR a guy that was coming off the field, as is the custom. Just remember though how many posts here over the past few days have been banking on the Red Soz injuries for the benefit of the Yanks. Neither is good sportsmanship nor good human behaviour.
After reading the posts .
Casual i do agree what was Torre thinking why was,nt a Proctor in the game or even this villone ? that is leadership error
well, duh, Casual HGH fan, I'm here at this site called On the YANKEES Beat because I'm a Yankees fan. I know that was a tough one for you, Casual. Glad I could help you solve that mystery, though.
Hey, Hey Casual,
Actually being humble is easy. All you have to do is shut up!
Love these dude like Casual jerk. He roots for the Chumps of April and May. Hey let's play this out. If you had a clue you would not speak until its over. I remember 1978 and believe or not 2004. So before you go saying stuff let's see who wins and loses this year you chump. Just like a coward Red Sox fan. You probaly voted for Ted Kennedy you pathetic pink face loser!!
This once, I'll take the time to actually answer your lame-ass post with a reasonable commentary...just this once.
I'm here because I enjoy getting a range of perspectives from true baseball fans. I also spend time in other blogs/chat rooms.
My comments are typicall not snide or cutting unless I'm responding to an idiot like you. My comments today regarding the Sox game update was in response to the ludicrious comments by you or other idiots proclaiming the "Sox will collapse" and that Matsuzaka is worthless.
If you have even the slightest comprehensive ability...say a 2nd grade reading ability...you would see that my comments that are cutting, snide, or otherwise not to your liking are directed at specific people, such as you.
You would also notice that I try to treat most others with respect and consideration, as they do me.
Try and keep up.
villone just took myers job
Did I just hear Torre say this team has alot of fight? My God, he really has lost any sense about his team.
Nudge:
WISHING injury on players and being HAPPY they are injured is not the same as saying the Red Sox might suffer injuries the way most teams do every year and that's one thing that could slow them down. Injuries are normal and expected in baseball. But you don't wish for and cheer injuries. That's sick.

Sorry...not the slightest pinked face...but quite tan and handsome after 17 days in Florida...
I have never voted for a Kennedy, a Kerry, a Clinton...and never will.
my e-bay list just grew , Add a-rod bum ass sensitive softy , at least winfield was Mr May
Anonymous,
Just go back and read the posts. they speak for themselves. I beleive there was a routing for injury mentality to them.
None of this makes a difference to the teams on the field though.
I don't know the stats, but we have to lead the league in DP's. Pathetic.
Thats just Causual being Casual. You right Casual, even thought you are a redsox fan I find your post interesting. As you know we Yankee fans are really having a tough time dealing with this slump.
Even I have to admit that this is about the worst streak of luck as I have ever seen in baseball in quite awhile. I leaves me with little else to say other than,
Sorry Guys!
and Gals
doug,
Keep in mind I AM a Sox fan...aint no one who has been there, done that, more than me.
Yes Nudge,
The Yanks seem absolutely snakebit....it is incredible.
I've never seen anything close to this .....wait...wait...I almost forgot.....I AM a Sox fan.
This is so sad it's almost funny. I hope Cashman is enjoying the front row of this disaster.
Boy, Damon is certainly off his game this year in the field. @ plays he would have made in the past. Is it the nagging injuries or age?
both !!@! that sob needs to be shelved in fact all these basturds not trying needs to be shelved , I do give Villone some credit . remember when Pinella would get into a players ass? kick the sh*t out a pitcher when he left the mound. At least villone threw INSIDE. if I was hitting coach I would do the following.
After A-Slob popped up and Bobby AFool popped Up and Robinson OHH NO
I would get in arod;s face and say listen here you little B*tch (Sorry ladies ) you hit that f**king ball april is over with , you making my job look bad you green eye panzy , ohh you wanna cry?? Opt then you little weazil run away punk. we spend that money on a real HUNGRY player. maybe we will bring back Arrone DOOM , as for you Bobby , the hell wrong with you ? ohh you smiling ? not caring considered your self benched. Robbie Ohh -NO. listen here you free swinging slug , I know Jackie robinson and if you EVER use his name again... matter of fact until you proove to me your worth your name is SORRY CANO.
NOW for the main event ..
JOHNNY DAMON..
Yes you lil basturd I got hold of your phone bill and what did i see THEO EPSTEIN number more than 50 times. if your little bit*h ass (sorry ladies) is hurt i will call up a single a player to make you look like a fool (then reggie billy part 2 as I slap the sh*t out of damon for the calls )
Newsday needs to get rid of this Kat O'Brien. Yankees were doing just fine before she got hired and it's not a coincidence they suck since she replace Baumbach.
Operation Kerrigan:
Well as you all saw I did my part. That Questar rig-up will do it every time, as witness Cano's HR.
hey you leave the cat alone !!! now you want to blame reporters?? hell out here with that one she is one of us so DEFEND I will do
Ballgame over. Mets win. Thuuuuuuuuuuuu Mets wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!
I am a Mets fan now. I have changed my prediction. Mets in a sweep!
Typical,
Bite the hand that feeds you.
Kat is doing you idiots a service and yet you whine.
I agree, Kat!
Well,
At least Damon didnt push that one over the wall for a dinger.
My team is old and tired. I quit! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I have changed my mind and decided not to come back, due to the lousy play of this yankee team. By the way, I am hungry! Anyone got a burger?
The Mets are the kings of NY!
I would have been in A_Slobs face on Live TV!!!! maybe they need a Larry Bowa and if Clemens only came back becasue of torre then when he is canned he could terminate his contract too if he feels he don;t wanna play.
It's a National League town again, boys!
ERIC
WHY AREn't YOU AT YANKEE DEATH PARADE??
I THOUGHT YOU PUT IT TOGETHER? THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!!! Isn"T THIS GREAT y
WOW!!!
I CANT WAIT FOR ALL WONDERFUL GOOD THINGS THAT WILL COME OF THIS!!
ERIC the only difference between you and the other pissant/yankee hating "drive-by"pestulance is the speed with which you drive.
wah wah waaaaaaaaaah! I play when I want to play, I will only be there once a week! What a prima donna I am!
i love cocky fans that celebrate in May..
Mets have won 2 world series in 50 years and they are the kings of NY because they beat the Yankees in two games this season???? Okay, yeah. This is called being delusional, mentally deranged and downright RETARDED!!! Mets fans you are pathetic fools.
Let's go Mets!
stop living in the past Skankee fans!
It is like watching the sinking of a great ship ... but who knows ... with a few trades, we could still stay ahead of Tampa Bay ... I mean we are 170 million ahead of them, right?
yankees 11 games out. enough said!
highest payroll, lowest return!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is it over yet?
Hey People as you seen I stood my ass in florida (hey old man did you just talk to arod??) i rather watch clemons than this team. However people I just summoned Larry bowa to a phone and I asked him "how the players feel about you ?
He said they really don't mingle with me My past scared them.
I said great your hired I need a Ball buster (hey old man your the new hitting coach they must have read your post)
so I told larry we need you because someone (no names) is wasting my money and by the way tell mets security to remove brian from the seat he is in that is ONLY for yankee employees ,
PS fans , I am alive and well so do not be mistaken I.m still the BOSS. had to tell Dolan to F**k off

Here we go again.....the Yanks will have a cosmic intervention and all will be well...they will win the east and then the WS.....because "they are the Yankees".
