What's to eat crow about? You were just reading the same speculation in the media that we all were, about how an injury could be fabricated to cover up the embarrassment of sending him down. As far as his injury goes, I really am more upset about that than I should be, I guess. I mean, how do you break a rib pitching a ball? Overthrowing like you never did before due to major league pressure and failing for the first time in your athletic life? That's all that I can think of, and it does not make me feel any better about his physical or mental capabilities.

Nice to see Moeller cleared waivers and was catching last night.
Yes, that was surprising. I would have bet the ranch that somebody would claim him just to stick it to the Yankees. I bet Cashman owes a few more favors this morning.
