This can't be good.

Maybe it's nothing serious, but seeing Jason Giambi at first would be an ugly harbinger for the Yankees.

Update:

Mike & The Mad Dog report that Doug Mientkiewicz has his ankle wrapped after a camera-man rolled over it. Apparently the Yankees believe he will be ok, but they will watch him closely during pre-game warmups.

This potential injury situation has heightened importance because of who is starting the game for New York. A power-sinker pitcher like Chien-Ming Wang needs as good a defensive supporting cast as is possible. Giambino or Shelley Duncan are not their best options in that regard.

Maybe this clumsy camera jockey 1)works for a Cleveland network, 2)is a disgruntled Indians fan, or 3)bet his Christmas bonus on an Indian sweep.

Yankees Magic Number is "10"

Nope, not that magic number. Think of how many relievers New York needed. Or what inning Melky Cabrera decided to end it.

In what was one of the ugliest pitched games in franchise history, here's a quick recap:

• Another extra inning affair involving the Blue Jays.

• A walk-off single for Leche.

• Phil Hughes might've gone six strong had it not been for 20 bloop singles falling in.
  

• Franchise-record 10 Yankees relievers needed to "secure" a 12-11 circus of a ballgame.

• Farnsworthless still stinks just as much as he did after surrendering that grand salami to Houston.

• Edwar Ramirez either strikes out the side or cries in a corner.

• Alex Rodriguez owns the 9th inning... or any other inning where a crucial RBI is to be had.

• Michael Kay likes to talk about Michael Kay... a lot. Especially if Michael Kay has an upcoming theatrical appearance at an unknown middle school gymnasium.

• Robinson Cano does not like Doug Mienkiewicz hogging all the infield pop-ups.

• Ross Ohlendorf has nasty stuff.
