Chamberlain removed from game with stiff shoulder

• P.S. The Yankee bullpen gave up its 2nd grand slam in 2 days. Apparently Damaso Marte wasn't ready for his close-up. This team was never going to the playoffs and still isn't. On the post game, Suzyn said Joba is going back to NY for tests and will probably miss his next start. Joe Girardi said Mariano Rivera would not have been used in the game nor would Jose Veras. He left Marte in because he was an experienced pitcher and wanted to give him the chance, plus he had almost no bullpen left.
