WHY IVAN NOVA LEFT THE ALDS

Well, well, well, according to Mark Feinsand, Nova was in fact hurt. I never second guessed Joe Girardi, but I was curious on just how serious it was. Read Hal Steinbrenner's press release and the information about Nova's injury HERE."The Yankees announced that Ivan Nova underwent an MRI Friday which revealed a Grade 1 Flexor Strain of his right forearm. The injury is expected to heal without complications this winter."

Damn, I hope Nova gets Rookie of the Year so it will all be worth it for this kid.
