August Heats Up

Been away and really busy recently so unfortunately I have not been able to write as much as I would like to.

Moments ago Joba Chamberlain had to leave his start against the Texas Rangers, pointing to his shoulder as Manager Joe Girardi and the Yankee trainer joined Chamberlain on the mound. Yankee fans are praying right now that is nothing and Joba will be on the mound in five days. Chances are, serious or not, Chamberlain's next start will be taken by another member of the Yankee organization as Brian Cashman will not want to risk additional damage.

After yesterday's game it appeared that Darrell Rasner would lose his spot in the rotation to Ian Kennedy. Kennedy has pitched well for the Scranton Yankees and is still looking to regain his form that he showed last September, but after Chamberlain's early exit it appears Rasner will remain and Kennedy will take over for Joba.
