Pete Abe is all over it

From Lohud.com -

- Kei Igawa was demoted to Scranton and utility infielder Chris Basak was called up. No decision has yet been made whether the games on August 3rd or 4th will be started by Phil Hughes.

- Randy Johnson is having season ending back surgery. That trade looks much better than it did two months ago, even if none of the prospects pan out.

- The offense went quiet for the second straight night and wasted another good outing by Andy Pettitte. It's one thing to lose those Kei Igawa games, but when the starter goes seven innings (and three runs), those games should be won. Posada and Jeter went 0-8.
