The injury hits just keep on coming for the Yankees, who announced that Kevin Youkilis needs surgery to repair a herniated disc and will be out for 10-12 weeks.

That puts Youkilis’ season in jeopardy, because 10 weeks would get him into September and any setbacks would leave him running out of time. Youkilis hit just .219 with two homers and a .648 OPS in 28 games for the Yankees after signing a one-year, $12 million deal as a free agent.

“I don’t ever want a kid to look at me and say, ‘Oh, he just hit three homers in a game, he’s probably on steroids,”

Um, something tells me you don't have to worry about that one, Tex.

Teixeira just doesn't understand Manny Ramirez's rights and has no sense of justice.

Actually I'm pretty sure he hit 3 homers in a game against the Sox at Fenway.

I'm talking future tense, Mike. Thought that was obvious.

MLB’s fight against PEDs is personal

MLB is not a person, headline writer.

Given Teixiera's recent record of injuries that keep him out of the lineup no one will be accusing him of taking steroids.

#6 As has been pointed out, one of the signs of steroid use is "breaking down". Another is unusual consistency. Or spike home run years. Or ...
