Does it seem like some of the other typical AL contenders are just having freak occurrences repeatedly knock them down this season or what?  

With all of the random injuries floating around kicking the Yankees (while they're down no less), who would have possibly expected Giambi to wind up  out for three weeks and possibly the season after a HR trot.  

And then Sheff, who has always been something of a powder keg, totally loses his temper and chucks the shards of a bat at the ump last night.  

Did Delmon Young teach you nothing Sheff?  Your team was already pinched by the injury bug.  How long do you think they can afford to have you out of action for?  Dumb ass.  

You just can't make this stuff up.  Anyway, just thought I'd open a diary to for LGT'ers to post how long they think Sheff will be suspended for (if at all), and also as a place where we can list the other freak injuries of the year.

Remember, we aren't allow to laugh at our opponents over this.  This would ultimately anger the baseball Gods, who would be forced to smite us for our cheek.
