Bearded Kirklander Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Oh man! I don't know whether to laugh or feel pity for the dude. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=240903110 Kevin Brown broke his own hand! At least he admits he is an idiot for doing that. Brown broke his non-pitching hand when he punched a wall in the clubhouse Friday night during a 3-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles that cut New York's lead in the AL East to 2? games over Boston. Have the Yankees hit the wall? "I did something stupid," said Kevin Brown. "Stupidity," Brown said, choosing his words carefully. "I reacted to frustration I'd swallowed all year. ... There are no excuses. I let it boil over and I did something stupid. I owe my teammates an apology for letting my emotions take over like that." Already short on starting pitching, the Yankees were unsure how long the 39-year-old right-hander might be out. He was to be examined by a hand specialist Saturday. "My plan is to splint it and pitch. I just pray that my stupidity didn't hurt the team," Brown said. Acquired from Los Angeles last offseason, the oft-injured Brown missed seven weeks in June and July with a strained lower back and intestinal parasite. He tweaked his knee while covering first base on an awkward play in the fifth inning Friday, then was hit on the right forearm by Miguel Tejada's RBI single in the sixth. Steamed by it all, he walked around the clubhouse in the middle of the sixth and punched a wall, breaking two bones in his left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Rod is the playoff killer! Left Seattle, they win without him. Left Texas and they are near the top of their division after being in the cellar when he was there. Now the Yanks. The guy seems like a friggin' cancer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy seems like a friggin' cancer... im not sure if its arod or just free agents that go there. arod did participate in the mariners team that beat the yankees(i think?) for a playoff spot a few years ago. but i have to say other than sheff all their free agent pick ups have been an albatross for the org as a whole. mussina goes there, they dont win the world series. giambi, same thing even worse they lost to the a's in the early round. arod, thou its a trade, i imagine will be the same problem for the org. i fear their offseason this year because i think they will have a lot of changes afoot.

L3thal Veteran Posted September 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 5, 2004 This is great! I can't wait to see the Yankees give up their 3 1/2 game lead and possibly not even make the playoffs :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted September 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2004 it would be crazy if they didn't make the playoffs. that might be one of the biggest collapses in baseball ever if it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
