Hideki Matsui May Be Out for Season
FanHouse —
... it was my opinion that the best answer for the Yankees offensive woes was a healthy return by Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon. That may not be a possibility any longer, however. Matsui's left knee swelled yesterday raising the possibility that he'll need season-ending surgery. Matsui will be examined on Friday but you can expect the rumor mill to heat up regarding possible corner outfield/DH replacements. Naturally that means Brian Cashman was asked about Barry Bonds but the GM was quite careful in downplaying any thoughts in that direction. ...

I was on my aunt's couch in Aiken, South Carolina enjoying the air conditioning after spending a day in the 105 degree heat, watching the Pirates play the Diamondbacks on my computer. My brother was watching SportsCenter on my aunt's TV as the clock crawled past midnight. As they'd been doing all week, ESPN cut away from SC to play Barry Bonds' at-bat live. That meant that I got to watch the player I'd grown to loathe as a Pirate fan hit his 756th home run off of ...
