Kyle Farnsworth was not available Wednesday night v Toronto--Torre on WFAN

Joe Torre on WFAN with Mike and Chris, turns out Farnsworth had a problem with his neck when he got into town (Toronto) and wasn't available in the Wednesday night game v Toronto. This is for Dan Graziano who consistently misstates information about Yankee players (eg, "They baby Farnsworth" when the rules about his usage come from Farnsworth himself--fans know this. Graziano is a "guardian of the game," which means he stands guard to make sure the truth doesn't get out, at least from him).

• Torre also said Farnsworth will not be available tonight v Toronto (and AJ Burnett) either. Mike and Chris pressed Torre as to why he used Joba Chamberlain for 2 innings last night (it actually ended up being an inning & 2/3 with Mariano Rivera for an inning and a third), making him unavailable for at least 2 days. They asked why he didn't use Farnsworth for 1 of those innings, that's how the subject came up. Torre said no one else had asked him specifically about Farnsworth's condition in the past day or so.
