SORENESS FOR TANAKA

I'm not sure what "general soreness" is, but that's what the soreness that Masahiro Tanaka is allegedly experiencing, if you ask the New York Yankees.

I call it the spin machine because they don't want Yankeeland going crazy.  Remember something; I have stated all along that I didn't want Tanaka rushing back, because, to be honest, he's a big investment and to ruin him just so he can pitch in September is ridiculous.  We've been doing fine without him. Let's get him healthy before we rush him back. Sorry, I'm getting off track.

Here's the latest on the "general soreness" front from our good friend Jack Curry of YES:

Tanaka is experiencing general arm soreness. He will return to NY to do some strengthening exercises. No appointments scheduled with doctors

OK then, there you have it. Cross your fingers ladies and gentlemen. Cross them hard.
