Papa Yankee Was Right

Okay, so I'll just say it: maybe Steinbrenner was right. Maybe hurdling some of the world's top baseball players into the WBC a month before the season begins wasn't the greatest idea.

In any case...

God, I seriously knew this was going to happen. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that he had a shoulder problem last season and took pain killers to keep playing.
Now those pain killers are banned by MLB.

WALK IT OFF, DAMON. COME ON! YOU'RE A FREAKIN' NEW YORK YANKEE NOW! 26 World Championships! 39 AL pennant wins! We don't have time for this WBC horseshit!

P.S. - I couldn't pass up an opportunity to post this disturbing pic.
