More good news for the Yankees....
BRONX, New York (Ticker) -New York Yankees righthander Kevin Brown underwent surgery Sunday for a broken left hand and is expected to miss at least three weeks and perhaps the rest of the season.
Brown broke his non-pitching hand when he punched a wall after Friday night's loss to Baltimore.
The surgery was performed by hand specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser and Yankees team physician Dr. Stuart Hershon at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Pins were inserted in Brown's fractured fifth metacarpal bone and third metacarpal bone.
"Three weeks, that is the optimistic scenario," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "The worst case is that he won't be able to pitch for us the rest of the year."
The injury could not have come at a worse time for the Yankees, who lead Boston by just 2 1/2 games in the American League East.
Brown had allowed three runs and five hits in six innings Friday. He apparently was upset about a smash that went off his arm and hurting his knee on a groundout.
The 18-year veteran, who is making $15.7 million this season, has battled injuries throughout his first season in New York.
"Stupidity," Brown said. "I reacted to the frustration I swallowed all year. I did a good job of controlling it until this point. There are no excuses. I let the frustration boil over."
Brown's bosses were not happy with the incident, which leaves the team's already shaky rotation with yet another question mark.
"It's a major injury that we shouldn't have to be dealing with, but we are," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "You just can't do that. There are no excuses."
Brown is 10-4 with a 3.99 ERA for New York.Chainsaw MuthuafuckaComment

No way for the Yanks...I just wonder if the Cards pitching will be true to form once the playoff pressure starts..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

17-8 loss to a last place team???
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Joe Torre was left speechless by the New York Yankees' latest embarrassing loss.
Two weeks ago, when Cleveland shocked the top team in the AL with a 22-0 clobbering, the Yankees manager called his players to a meeting.
But after the Kansas City Royals scored 10 runs in the fifth inning of a 17-8 rout Monday night, Torre decided just to let it go.
``I don't know what I would say to them,'' Torre said. ``We didn't pitch very well. We know we can score runs, but in order to win you need to pitch. It was not a good day.''
John Buck hit a three-run homer and Angel Berroa had two hits and scored twice in the fifth inning.
The Royals sent 15 men to the plate against four pitchers in the biggest inning against the Yankees since Boston scored 11 in a 13-7 victory on May 31, 1998.
It was the second double-digit inning in a week for the Royals, the AL's losingest team. They scored 11 in the third inning of a 26-5 victory Thursday over the Detroit Tigers.
On Monday, Kansas City scored on a walk, a balk, two wild pitches, a home run and three singles and dropped New York's lead to three games in the AL East over idle Boston.
While the Yankees go for a championship, the Royals are nearing the end of a miserable season -- concentrating on not breaking the franchise record of 100 losses.
``Every time a team is in first place they don't want to play a last-place team because the last-place team wants to show they belong in the big leagues,'' Royals manager Tony Pena said. ``They have nothing to lose.''
Kansas City????? Wow.... Stienbrenner's blood pressure must outta sight over this.....
SOMEBODYS ass is gonna get kicked for these losses. Wanta bet if this continues in any fashon Torre gets his walking papers????Chainsaw MuthuafuckaComment
