Help on way for Yankees?

Help at the plate and on the mound is within sight for the Yankees. Hideki Matsui could be joining the team as early as tomorrow in Toronto. Then on Saturday, either Carl Pavano, whose last sighting roughly corresponded with Amelia Earhart, or Phil Hughes could be pitching against the Orioles because with Joba Chamberlain and Dan Giese both on the DL, the Bombers will need a fifth starter in Baltimore, manager Joe Girardi said. Both Pavano and Hughes made minor league rehab appearances last night.

Well if Pavano can come and dominate and help them get to the post season and then dominate in the post season, we might cut him a bit of slack for the rest of his time in pinstripes. MIGHT.

What do they do with Matsui? Move Damon back to center? They can't DH him without benching Giambi.

Not a moment too soon. We are dangling off a cliff only holding on by our nutsack tied to a dandelion.

Giambi is playing first base, we don't have anyone else to play... except for bettermint... DH will be Matsui, and Damon to Center Nady in Left and Abreu still in RF. Matsui isn't going to be able to play every game since his knee does need surgery, in those days damon will DH and Gardner in CF.

I missed the Giambi to 1st. Matsui will be a big help with that being the case. He may be hobbled; but, Matsui can still hit with the best of them.

any help to the yanks would be good. I hope Pavano can earn 1/16th of his contract.

August 18, 2008  10:45 AM ET

If I never see Pavano in pinstripes again it will be too soon, he is a stain on the team, just wash your hands of him.
Matsui will help, Chamberlain? oh coarse.

CARL PAVANO?!?!?! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

Becca, how could you pluck such a wonderful metaphor? Atro, that nutsack you speak of, is that a Carl Pavano reference?

August 18, 2008  12:29 PM ET

Well Pavano should be well rested....OK, OK, that was a gratuitous cheap shot and I apologize.

August 18, 2008  12:33 PM ET

Pavano made a rehab start, or, as I like to call it, a REGULAR EFFIN' OCURRENCE!

August 18, 2008  12:45 PM ET

There is no such thing as a Pavano cheap shot, he was an expensive bust. All shots at Pavano large and small are pre-paid for, so shoot away.

August 18, 2008  01:01 PM ET

Pavano's the Mexican Eaton I tells ya!

August 18, 2008  02:50 PM ET

I'd love to see Pavano called up this week, it's really a win-win situation. If he's good and doesn't get hurt, he could help, if he sucks or gets hurt, he'll be somebody's else's problem.
