06/12: News Links: Teixeira on John Henry's Tweet, Damon's Eyes, Penny and The Belt
Posted by: Patrick
Let's tackle some news.
Mark Teixeira wasn't exactly happy with Red Sox owner John Henry tweeting about the "MT curse" (seeing as the Yankees haven't beat the Sox since they signed Teixeira). But, he played it off and didn't get into it, which is a good way to go. The Post has more.
Joe Girardi feels that Brad Penny's plunking of A-Rod last night was intentional.
Johnny Damon was held out of tonight's game after his eyes experienced "fluttering" sensations when he dropped a fly ball last night. He's going to get looked at, to be safe.
Finally, Peter Abraham shares that the Yankees toy wrestling belt has been replaced with the real deal, thanks to Jerry "The King" Lawler, a wrestler who is an acquaintance of CC Sabathia. Lawler is having a special Yankees belt made up, presumably to give to the team.
