For years, we’ve run a Yankees news stream on the site [scroll down and look over to the right]
One of the headlines caught our eye this morning…
Yankees fans were hoping to hear good news — if you could call it that — and perhaps a timetable on Mariano Rivera’s expected knee surgery.
The word that came out of the injured closer’s examinations Monday won’t do much to assuage their worst-case fears.
“We ran into complications,” Rivera’s agent, Fernando Cuza, told the New York Post. “I am referring to Dr. (Christopher) Ahmad and (Yankees general manager) Brian Cashman for further information.”
Rivera was seen Monday by three doctors at two hospitals. He was still expected to have season-ending surgery on his torn right ACL, though Cashman wouldn’t elaborate on what the “complications” might have been.
“I won’t comment on that right now,” he said, according to the Post.

Nurse, it appears that the patient has no blood, and his insides are glowing as if made from divine material. His…his ACL appears to be regenerating itself…I am receiving a vision of angels! The holy host say that Mo will return to pitch this season if Cashman can bring Jesus (Montero) back to the Yankees… The angels are telling me it was the worst trade in human history and the the end days will begin if it is not rectified.
Praise be!

Sounds like you need a good blow job. Joe Pawl knows best.

“Mariano Rivera’s ACL recon is delayed. There’s a lot of things that can ‘complicate’ surgery, so don’t take this as a negative.”

Will Carroll’s hardly a random Tweeter. Probably the best sports-injury writer on the web.
VLM May 8, 2012 10:03
LOL That’s rich. Calling Will Carroll the best anything besides “self-important douchebag” is laughable.

Pineda's shoulder May 8, 2012 14:50
The doctor said his knee was in Pineda shape. Is that bad? He said it replaced the term Zumaya’d.

Any chance he can come back even if there’s a full amputation?
Big Bam May 8, 2012 17:29
Any chance we can amputate your head and put it on Ted’s tuna can?
