Dice-K just gave up 7 runs in 5 innings to the Mariners and now has an ERA well over 5. How do you say "stop sucking" in Japanese?

Pavano suffers another setback for injury-ravaged Yankees
ARLINGTON, TEXAS (TICKER) -- The New York Yankees' rotation will be getting a boost soon. But not from Carl Pavano.
Pavano had a bullpen session cut short Wednesday after throwing for less than 10 minutes. The oft-injured righthander said he will consult Dr. James Andrews about his injured right forearm.
Pavano was placed on the 15-day disabled list with tightness in his right elbow on April 15, and it is not known when he will return.
"The setback was disappointing, but to me he was more disappointed than anybody because we don't count our chickens," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "The fact that he had to be shut down because of how he felt ... I know he is frustrated.
"He doesn't know what his next move is. Dr. Andrews may help him along those lines. We don't know when he is going to throw again. You certainly need to find out how to help him along in this area. I don't know what the answer is right now."
Pavano has been a target of relentless media scrutiny in New York for spending more time on the DL than on the mound since joining the club as a high-priced free agent prior to the 2005 season.
The righthander had not pitched in nearly two years with a myriad of ailments before making a return as the Yankees' Opening Day starter on April 2. He is 1-0 with a 4.76 ERA in two starts this campaign.
But teammate Mike Mussina, who was placed on the DL the same day, is scheduled to make his return Thursday at Texas. He left his second start on April 11 after just two innings with a strained left hamstring and has not made a start since.
New York, which has been ravaged by injuries all season, has started the season a disappointing 10-14. As a result, Torre and general manager Brian Cashman have been on the hot seat.
But strength and conditioning coach Marty Miller - not Cashman and Torre - took the blame. Miller was fired Wednesday after highly-touted prospect Phil Hughes pulled up lame with a left hamstring injury Tuesday - the staff's fourth hamstring pull of the campaign.
Chien-Ming Wang also started the season on the disabled list with a hamstring injury before being activated last month.

Hewson said:You could bring back Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle in their primes and add them to the Yankee lineup and they still wouldn't win the WS with that pitching staff.
NEW YORK --Roger Clemens returned to the New York Yankees, making a dramatic announcement to fans from the owner's box during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

unbelievable... that's double gil meche money
Had the Yanks not started so bad, I think he'd have been in Boston...his agent was at Fenway negotiating when Cshman called last week.phanan said:Too bad your prediction of Clemens didn't turn out as well as Papelbon.
Yeah but at least with the posting fee you get the guy for at least 5 years, which could end up putting Igawa into Pavano-esque cult status in the Bronx.Chizip said:
eh its only half a posting fee, pretty good deal
