Kyle Farnsworth stuck his hand in front of a Brandon Phillips grounder Sunday and got cut in the process. He's lucky. Pitchers are told to never grab at a ball with their bare hands, but it's natural to do so.
The thing that struck me about Farnsworth's try is the ball appeared to ricochet off his fingertips. Sure, he looks like an extra from "300," but he reacted as if a Nerf ball hit him - no pain, just annoyance he didn't make the play. Then, he looked at his hand, threw his head back and waived for the trainer. He's got stitches and shouldn't miss any time.
The Yankees thankfully halted their skid against the Reds. Cincy stinks, but it just shows you what good pitching will do to good hitting. Yanks are off tonight and travel to lowly Pittsburgh. They may take Nate McClouth with them. I imagine that'd be like catching the last chopper out of Saigon.
Is Jason Giambi's mustache eligible for All-Star consideration?
