«[If Friday night was a bad dream for the Yankees, Saturday afternoon was a nightmare. A 10-2 loss was the least of New York's worries. Starter Jaret Wright, who signed with the Yankees in the off season, left the game in the sixth inning with pain in his shoulder, the same shoulder that had been operated on before. After the game, it was revealed that Wright will miss 4-6 weeks with inflammation and torn scar tissue in his right shoulder. Wright took a positive approach after an MRI confirmed the injury.] There wasn't a whole lot of sleep with everything going through your mind what it could be, ... I think tearing scar tissue is better than anything else.»
