And he stayed in to pitch to another batter…tough kid.
Yankees right-hander Jeff Karstens suffered a fractured right fibula on his first pitch Saturday, as he was struck by a line drive that forced him to exit the game.
Karstens, a 24-year-old rookie, was making his second start of the season for New York after missing the Opening Day roster due to right elbow tendinitis. His first pitch was a fastball to Red Sox leadoff hitter Julio Lugo, who ripped a line drive off the hurler’s right leg, sending Karstens into a pained crumple on the mound.
“You start the season on the DL, and come back, they give you another shot to pitch, and the first pitch of the game the guy hits a line drive off my leg,” Karstens said. “It’s a long season though, so I’ve got to come back and come back strong.”

I don't think he'll ever be a very good pitcher, but I'm sure rooting for him. Sounds like he's a cool guy.
John Hensley from Nip/DUCK!
Oh wait.
Sure I'd listen if the Yankees called.
Well there was another righty coming up before Papi.
Sucks for Karstens, and man that was tough to try and pitch on it. I wonder if Pavano was paying attention.
Umm, shouldn't you have that looked at if it hasn't healed by now?
I have had a broken fibula for a few years now.

I have had it checked. It is a stress fracture that keeps breaking. No big deal, it hurts every once in a while.
I always suspected that Bernal was a tough old bird. At least he could play one on TV.
In the third episode of the old TV show The Lone Ranger, the Masked Man is in a gunfight with Arch-villain Cavendish, who had ambushed and killed TLR's Texas Ranger brother in the first episode.
One of The Lone Ranger's bullets goes right through Cavendish's shoulder, which results in lots of visible blood, and this priceless bit of dialogue between Cavendish and his "half-breed" Texas Ranger Judas, who'd betrayed the Rangers to Cavendish:
Half-Breed Judas: HEY, BOSS, YOU'RE BLEEDING PRETTY BAD!!
Cavendish: Nyaah, just grazed an artery.
At this rate, the over-under date for the first Yankee starter to go 7 solid innings in 2 straght starts is probably somewhere around May 30th.
May 30th, 2008, that is.
That's a tough guy.
