Pavano feels need to vamp with ice packs for reporters

Although doing his best Sarah Bernhardt impression, a NY Times reporter says the writers somehow managed to get by Pavano and talk to someone who actually pitches for the Yankees, Chase Wright. The Times' headline shows only 1 way of looking at it: "Torre Rewards Wright with a Start in Boston." Well, it also stems from the fact that Torre has no one else to throw in the snake pit, jeez. Personally, I can't watch those games, can't wait til they're over.

• "A group of journalists stepped aside to let Pavano pass while pressing closer to Wright, a rookie left-hander who, like Pavano, has a record of 1-0. (Carl Pavano had ice on his sore right forearm as he walked past Chase Wright’s locker).

The reporters brought news from Manager Joe Torre to Wright: He would start for the second time in the major leagues Sunday night against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

“First I’ve heard of it,” Wright said. When asked his reaction, he smiled and said: “Excited. Good deal.”"
