ARE YOU GETTING NERVOUS?

I'm getting nervous. I didn't see the game, so I'm relying on the ESPN recaps.

**How bad is it? Posada's catching, that's how bad. No truth to the rumor that the Yanks are going to activate Girardi.

**Russell Martin had to leave the game because he bruised his thumb. What's going on with this rash of thumb injuries? First A-Rod, then Martin and I hear that Girardi accidentally bit his while sitting in the corner of the dugout with his thumb in his mouth.

**The Yanks will call up Austin Romaine to catch until Martin heals and Cervelli is cleared to play after suffering from concussion injuries. Girardi won't let Montero catch because "he doesn't know the pitching staff. How much does Romaine know? After two weeks with the club, at least Montero knows their names.
By the way, Romaine sounds more like a dinner salad than a catcher. Lets hope he doesn't wilt under the pressure. (Sorry)

**A-Rod says he won't play because, "It is sore to a point that I can't really do real damage out there to help the team win." No problem A-Rod, there's plenty of damage being done already.

**Isn't it amazing that the two teams with the best records in the American League also have the most players injured? Do their team buses really have red crosses painted on the side?

**I read where Ozzie Guillen says he wants to manage the White Sox for the next 20 years. It must already seem like 20 years to White Sox GM Kenny Williams.

**The Yanks and the Red Sox are both on 4 game losing streaks. Don't start printing those World Series tickets just yet, guys.
