Pavano toes the rubber today...

Carl Pavano, who has started 19 games for the Yankees since signing a 4 year $40 million dollar contract, will start today against the Baltimore Orioles.

I remember talking about this way back when. Pavano signs a big deal with the Yanks after a fairly good season with the Marlins. A gigantic contract for a guy who was just not proven yet, and it backfired. Pavano hurt everything on his body that could be hurt. His ribs, his butt, his elbow, his back, and his shoulder not in that order.

The call comes, because they don't think Phil Hughes is polished enough down in Trip A. So, Pavano it is.

Jesus Christ....he'll probably wind up throwing a no-no.

EDIT: Pavano pitched 5 innings, gave up 3 runs, K'd five, and gave up 7 hits. All in all, Pavano looked like Pavano would without his usually ball movement.
