RJ not pitching thursday

[theclefe]

ESPN says Joe Torrie annouced Randy Johnson will miss his next scheduled start because of his back. no link...

[duckbillgates]

Yeah, just saw that too.
As a Yankee fan and an RJ owner, this seems like good news in a way. Hope some extra rest gets him back at 100 percent, where he hardly seems to have been all year.

Argghhh..


I just traded for him.....


At least all I gave up was Turnbow, but still.

Ditto on that. Hope he gets all the rest he needs and come back stronger and be more reliable, even if that means needing to go on the DL.

I like it. I just need him back healthy and pitching well for the last 3 weeks of the season in my H2H league since I clinched the division last week.

In case anyone cares, DePaula from the minors is the likely replacement starter. It will definately not be Nomo.

It better not be, but if it is, that will be one hillarious start to watch.

That's what I'm bankin on. I need him to step up for my run at 1st place.

The Yankees have scratched Randy Johnson from his scheduled
start on Thursday against the Rangers due to his sore back.
The club will either move Scott Proctor from the bullpen to
make the start or recall a minor-leaguer. "The last two days
he's felt a lot better," manager Joe Torre said. "We like to
believe that this is going to help a great deal. Is it going
to solve the problem? I don't think we know that."

The team feels as if he will miss only one start. Keep him
reserved in all Fantasy leagues until he can officially
return and prove his health.

Does it matter? He's probably the worst pitcher on the staff right now.
