Johnson has already started

Well, we have played 2 preseason games and Johnson has already missed one of them due to gas/ bloating. He is really going to be helpful this year in keeping the medical staff on their toes. What an absolute waste of 5 million or for that matter even a spot on the roster. Who cares what he is capable of doing? He needs to man up and earn his keep for once in his life. Cut him loose now, chalk it it up as another Kei Igawa and move on. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Some people just can't learn.

Doomsdayers?
Johnson was an irrational signing due to the risk involved. Now this. I’m glad, in a way. Now maybe Montero and or Thames will get more playing time. Keep getting hurt Nick, it’ll be a blessing.
um I think Nick J and his .400 obp will be better than Thames.
If we want Montero for the future he needs to spend the whole year in AAA. Give him a chance to break cam this year. He was 1-1 today
Section 203 Row 15 Seat 1
He missed a Spring training game because of gas/bloating…according to the thread.
Gas and bloating.
Meaning he probably friggin farted in the 4th inning and could’ve played.
C’mon man…this is doomsdaying at its finest.
Master of the squeegee
didn't read the yahoo article..just the thread
and this
"Caught a spike," Johnson said. "I felt a little something. I could have played. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow."
makes the reaction to this a doomsday reaction.

I don't think you know what irrational means.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

did you know who played less than him last year?
Hideki Matsui
May be true
but we already had Matsui, before he got injured. Johnson was signed after already having knowledge of his injury problems. He’s out again today, by the way.
matsui played over 140 productive games last year
and could have played more cept jumpin joe wanted to use dh to give other starters breaks
stats check
Matsui got in more games (because he PHed more I suppose) but came to the plate (which you know, is what DHing is about) 50 less times than Nick,
Wait a second
now, I never liked the signing either. I thought it was pretty stupid. But they signed him, and they can’t quit on the guy after 2 spring training games. It’s not a good sign for the future that he hurt himself so early. But you can’t waste 5 million so quickly.
This post is literally too stupid to insult.
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
This guy may have missed the game with 'gas and bloating' but
Johnson had light stiffness in his back. He said he probably could have played if it was regular season and it was probably just caused from the winter layoff (this is not uncommon…)
Global domination, bizarre experiments on youth, our best player squatting in buildings drinking Bacardi, what you call the Evil Empire, I CALL HOME!!!!

let's just take this for what it is
a guy missing one ST game when he says he would’ve played if it was the regular season.
exactly.
I guess no one cares to read that it was GAS and BLOATING.
..yea, the training staff really is gonna help him.
If he was DHing he could’ve taken a walk and then while he’s in the dugout, all he’s gotta do is fart in Gardner’s face.

I don't recall
seeing posts like this when Posada missed some ST time last year because of a sore shoulder.
http://www.nj.com/yankees/index.ssf/2009/02/sore_shoulder_forces_yankees_p.html
I guess some people like bitching and complaining for the sake of bitching and complaining.
^this
people would’ve been happy to see Matsui’s knee’s snap or Damon throw lolli-pops to 2nd base.
Master of the squeegee
It must have been a sore back.
When did farting in the infield become a reason not to play? That’s the best single reason to be out there.
But seriously, where was the whining when Joba Chamberlain missed a turn in Meaningless Exhibition Game #1?

he’ll be ready for our playoff game on Saturday.

Hey Bradshaw,
do you think Johnson would be healthier if we sent him to “teh pen” as well?
:)
by Leviticus6688 on Mar 5, 2010 12:14 PM EST up reply actions
Yes
He could do bong hits with Hughes too

Oh dear god
That would be the greatest argument of all time.

No bong hits
That philthy Hughes took that from me and I took it back.The double bubble perculator is back where it belongs.Besides we do not need dope there is going to be a Ho Park out there this yr.Joba and Hughes are competing for the pen not the 5th spot.Get ready for a whole lot of suck.They all want demoted to the pen,starters,bench players,position players,they all claim they can pitch all the sudden and the race is on.
I wish I were an Oscar Myer wiener.I farted in the bathtub and the bubbles messaged my pee pee.Somebody stole my Billy goat and now I have no one to drink with..
You guys think
We could petition Selig to get a keg installed.Cervelli plays all 9 positions while the rest of us eat (at the y)drink,and be merry.Don’t worry they will still take the div. and home field throughout.

NO, not a doomsday comment and YES, I read the article on what he said happened. Just some dry sarcasm on how something so minor can keep him out of the line-up and being a help when we need him! It doesn’t take much for his low threshold of pain to send him running to the bench.

tweaked backs can become strains which can become sprains.
Its spring training.
Johnson missing a game here and there doesn’t even deserve mention unless its going to make him miss actual playing time in the regular season.

"when we need him!"
And the Yankees don’t need him on March 5-6. He said himself he would play through it if it happened during the regular season. I’ll trust that he was telling the truth there.
by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 7, 2010 2:24 PM EST up reply actions
He’ll miss plenty of time during the season. You can’t honestly believe this isn’t a precursor of what’s to come. “It’s spring training”, yeah? So?
this guy just can't stay healthy
I am a Mets fan, yeah the team who seems unable to find $$$ in th esame market as the Yankees, thank you Madoff.
but that said, we had a lot of guys calling for us to sign Nick Johnson over at Amazin Avenue and I for one am glad we did not. Now for the Yankees, you have a 1B and guys who can DH if Nick ends up on the DL a couple of time…we could not afford to have our hopes on him at 1B
2 HR's today
Doomsdayer’s we’ll let you back on-board with the promise to stay the course with us optimists. A fun season awaits us.
I wish we could continue to just show up and play for no reason. No umpires, no scorers. Just show up and have fun.
