One day away from pitchers report day, this cluck is hurt again!
(AP) Carl Pavano, who missed the second half of last season because of a shoulder injury, has lower back discomfort that will prevent him from throwing off a mound until around March 1. He was to pitch off a mound Wednesday at the minor league complex but instead threw off flat ground for the second time in three days.
New York made the decision after Pavano mentioned the back issue last week, then was sent to examined by back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins, who recommended a 10-to-14 day exercise program. The setback raises the possibility Pavano might not be ready for the start of the regular season on April 3.
"You certainly don't want to get to this point of taking this much care and then decide that just because the season opener is coming that you've got to hurry up and do something," Torre said. "He could very well be ready to start the season, I don't know, but again, we're certainly not going to have that as a necessity."

...Another worthless pitcher...Hey Carl, do us a favor and punch a wall or something...
This website posted the story of how
Pavano's girlfriend dumped him last year. This sounds like the most logical reason for his back problems.
Let's forget sending this idiot to Dr.
Andrews.
Well Susan, sounds like he needs Dr. Joyce Brothers!
