Radio appearance announcement, Nick Johnson, and thoughts on last night’s game

I’m going to be on Kenrick Thomas’ “Real Sports Talk” radio show at 9:30 tonight. You can listen live at www.blogtalkradio.com/realsportstalk. Luis Polonia will also be on the show, in a separate appearance!

Anyhow, I found last night’s loss painful – not just because the Yankees looked overmatched until the ninth inning, but because of the Jorge Posada injury news. Hopefully, he’ll be back soon.

And, surprise, surprise, Nick (The Sick) Johnson, who underwent surgery earlier this week, is now on the 60-day DL. When Brian Cashman first announced that Nick was going to the DL, he said Johnson would be out “several” weeks, which set Joe Girardi scurrying to the dictionary to find the meaning of the word “several”! I guess “several” now means at least nine!

Oh, and I had to laugh about Cashman’s assertion that Johnson would be a $15 million a year player if he could stay healthy. That’s like saying that Lindsay Lohan could get an Oscar if she could keep from clubbing. While technically possible, it’s not very likely at this point.
