Ouch at the Mariners loosing their 14th game in a row although not complaining since today they lost to the Red Sox.

Igawa's problem was how badly the Yankees mishandled him starting with over paying during the bidding when everyone else had concerns about his arm strength and stats. It also didn't help the team had no patience and demoted him after 1-2 months instead of letting him adjust to the MLB style. They also valued him soo low he hasn't been recalled in the last 2 years even with all the pitching injuries the team has had during the time.

Buccholz starts is rehab stint next week which could determine what the Red Sox do or don't do for the trade deadline but the good news is Lester is still set to come back and start next week.
