Did Kansas City Royals "LIE" to media-or are they allowed to protect their business?

MLB.com, 4/24/09: "There is something wrong with Royals closer Joakim Soria after all.

• Manager Trey Hillman said on Friday that Soria is expected to miss at least the next three to five days because of tightness behind his right shoulder.

"There is a problem but it's not a DL situation," Hillman said. "He doesn't have any structural damage but he does have a tight right shoulder on the back side. We're looking at a minimum of three to five days."

• Both Hillman and Soria insisted earlier this week that he was fine despite

• not appearing in a game for eight straight days.

He returned on Wednesday night to post a save at Cleveland but apparently felt stiffness on Thursday.

• General manager Dayton Moore said the stiffness came to the Royals' attention last Saturday at Texas while Soria was warming up as a potential replacement for Zack Greinke who finished the game.

Hillman said he'd kept Soria's situation under wraps until now

• to avoid tipping off opposing teams."...

WHEN THE YANKEES DO THE SAME THING WITH ONE OF THEIR PLAYERS,

• IT'S CALLED A LIE AND THE MANAGER

IS FORCED TO APOLOGIZE TO THE MEDIA. (9/26/08 posted on this blog).

• Sorry for the proof and evidence that the media is Boss of this pathetic, floundering organization. (sm)
