For those of you that don't watch baseball...Hideki Matsui broke his wrist while sliding into a Mark Loretta hit. It looks like he's going to miss the rest of the season.
Perhaps to the surprise of many, this doesn't make me feel good. I'm happy that Steinbrenner might get another ulcer, and that the Yanks won't get as many wins. However, a weaker Yanks team doesn't make for great baseball, and it makes our wins against them less legit.
Their lineup looked so great just a few months ago. Now with both Shef and Matsui out, it just doesn't look that scary anymore. It is also pretty scary to see how two injuries can change your whole lineup. This situation could happen to any team, like the mets losing Zambrano (and that's all I'm saying about that).

I think he will be out till mid august max not the rest of the season also this broke his streak off over 500 games played without missing one... u shold be happy though now the al east pennant is bostons to lose :-P

al east pennant is bostons to lose
Easier said than done. Having been a Sox fan for 10 years, I am naturally pessimistic.
Like I said, its more fun to beat the Yanks when they are competitive. Also, they aren't exactly dead in the water having just beat Oakland twice after losing Matsui.
"Out for three months" is what they presume, but I think 3.5 to 4 is more realistic. He'll need to rehab and get his groove back, unfortunately.
