The bumped and bruised Yankees took advantage of the fledging Blue Jays to move to an eight game lede over Boston. The Yankees may be winning, but they are hurting.
According another Yankee website which has a reputation of being biased, slanted and untrustworthy, right fielder Gary Sheffield will bite the bullet and play through the pain of diagnosed bursitis for the remainder of the season.

According to that dark and evil site, Sheffield received a cortisone shot in the shoulder on June 20 and plans to be ready for postseason play by getting another shot later in the season.Yankees Suck web story"I'm just going to play, and when I feel like it's that time, I'll get it,” he said in the story written by Mark Feinsand of MIL.com "What really matters is the playoffs.

Jeter who is second in the league in the hit by pitch category with 12, Cleveland’s Travis Hafner has 13, was removed in the eighth inning by Yankee manager Joe Torre because he didn’t like the way Jeter was throwing.
