Sturtze's season could be over

NEW YORK -- Yankees right-hander Tanyon Sturtze may be done for the season.
The veteran pitcher underwent an MRI exam on Monday that revealed a slight tear in the rotator cuff area of his right shoulder. Yankees team physician Dr. Stuart Hershon, who examined Sturtze, also determined the pitcher has bursitis.

Sturtze, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list over the weekend after finally admitting to manager Joe Torre that there was soreness in the shoulder, is scheduled to travel to Birmingham, Ala., to get a second opining from orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews.

"Unfortunately, depending on what he decides to do, it's probably going to cost him the rest of the year," Torre said of the 35-year-old pitcher who owned a 7.59 ERA because he gave up 10 runs on 17 hits in just 10 2/3 innings.

"He couldn't take the ammunition out there," Torre said. "He was able to throw 90-something to show us, but the big thing there was he was unable to finish off pitches and have his command."

Torre, who was disappointed that Sturtze didn't inform the team of his shoulder woes before Saturday, said that the first thing he stresses to his pitchers in Spring Training is that hiding an injury can hurt both the pitcher and the team.

"Don't try to be a hero, you're going to shorten your career," said Torre, recalling his message. "I'm sincere when I tell these guys that, because there's no game that's more important than somebody's career."

I like Sturtze. Sad to see him get injured. Get well Tanyon!

[ButtleMan]

The bullpen is better already. Addition by subtraction. :smile:

[nyjunc]

He has been brutal ever since the midway point of last year, maybe he's been hurt the whole time b/c he was very good for us in '04 and early '05. Hopefully he gets well and comes back next year.

He strained it trying to look over his massive biceps.

He was kissing the guns?

[BIG COUNTRY]

He's been hurt all along.

So wait...Bringing up Giambi in a thread about Sturtze is "adding" to the discussion???

You need to take your hands out of your pants and stop jonesing for Giambi and Jeter.

[ShadeTree#55]

Assmunch, I was commenting how they Skanks have gotten hit by the injury bug and asked about a player who got hurt last night.

Keep up you mongoloid.

Wow, you must feel so big with the personal attacks. I ws simply pointing out that the Yankees are keeping pace with the Mets, in spite of injuries.

So, what insult would you like to throw my way next?

[MisterMoss]

Wow. This weekend is going to be fun.

Steroid injuries get thrown out the window. If Sheffield misses a couple months and if Giambi goes down now you can't gripe about their injuries, its just the cheating catching up with them.

you said the yankees were "injury plagued", making excuses because the mets have a better record right now. i wouldn't classify the mets as "healthy" either.

[ShadeTree#55]

The Yanks are missing that stud Pavano from their rotation.

No, I said that IN SPITE of the injuries, the Yankess have put together a record very similar to the Mets...

Screw it...An arguement with Mets fans will never be worth the time.

[ShadeTree#55]

Is this your canned excuse for the weekend?

[jonnyd]

if i was a met fan id be worried considering you guys got off to the best start in franchise history and you have a whopping 1 game lead in your division....yankee fans have to worry about their retard manager and injuries,met fans have to worry about there own pitching woes....2 pitchers aint enough guys

the mets have the the retarded son of your retarded manager so its not all lollipops and puppies there either.

You're arguing with yourself. I quoted from your post, you were obviously trying to rationalize away the fact that the Mets had a better record then the Yankees.

Who needs a rotator cuff?

And this sort of stuff is the reason why I will be staying far away from the game thread(s) this weekend.

Considering that a very major part of difficulties the Mets have had in the past 10 days or so are because of injuries to the back end of the rotation, distinguishing them as the "healthy" Mets versus the "injury plagued" Yankees seems pretty ridiculous to me. Less important, but you can also add in injuries to the starting centerfielder and the guy who started the year at second base.

?? Take a look at our 4th and 5th starters right now...

What about when Beltran missed a week or so early in the year...

Nice to see Yankees' fans excuses cocked and ready to go.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

what the over/under on the number of bannings this weekend in the game thread? maybe we should maintain seperate ones :lol:

[Boss Revis]

whoever gets banned less wins the avatar bets!

screw the outcomeof the games.

i think mets fans would be in trouble with that one. half the time we attack each other during the game threads. although i'm sure there will be alot of yankee fans that don't normally post in the game threads out this weekend.

[17a_tailgater]

[ShadeTree#55]

I don't need no stinking badge.

[Boss Revis]

I'll take one.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

yankee fans better hide their shit

[ButtleMan]

Cheese it, the cops.

If I were to actually enforce the rules in some of those Mets game threads, a handful of you wouldn't be here. At least you guys aren't attacking one another.
