This Just In

Awww, man. The AP is reporting that Bernie Williams will have surgery today ^[1] to have his appendix removed. This sudden turn of events means that Kenny Lofton will likely start the season as the Yankees’ starting center fielder. Shoot, I feel for Bernie. I was hoping that he would be able to get a full season in this year. Maybe he’ll only miss a few weeks of the regular season. Still, he’ll be behind everyone. Williams played well early last year, but has traditionally been a slow starter. This won’t help any. Drag.
