I think I’m going to cry.  At least Johnson doesn’t give up too many fly balls which means Bernie in CF shouldn’t affect him too much.

The ever-vigilant Peter Abraham has some roster news on his fine blog.

Kris Wilson will start on Sunday against Tampa Bay. Shawn Chacon has been demoted to the bullpen. The thinking, Joe Torre said, was that Wilson has been used by a starter this season. The Yankees also didn’t want to take Villone out of the bullpen, where he has been valuable.

Johnny Damon will try and swing tomorrow. He said his strained abdominal muscle “is about the same, but I definitely feel it more.” Damon dismissed the suggestion that he just shut it down through the All-Star break, saying he wanted to get back in the lineup as soon as possible.

Matt Smith was optioned back to Columbus to make room for Aaron Guiel.

Hey, check it out -- nobody's commented yet! You could be the first to comment on this AWESOME post! Hurry up and think of something to say! And not "First!", or anything like that, because that would be lame, and you'd be lame for doing it. Especially if someone beats you to it.

Well, since you spent so much time reading this, you've probably missed your shot to be first, but go ahead and post anyway. Someone might read it. Not ME, but someone.

Way back in the 20th century, Bill James wrote the first essential book about baseball managers. Chris Jaffe has just written the second.

From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.
