Maybe They Should X-ray His Head

Perhaps in a move to hasten his exit out of New York, Carl Pavano questioned his own commitment yesterday to recovering from the prior injuries he suffered.

"This is the first time I could say, 'I am just going to pick up where I left off,' " said Pavano, who has had plenty of experience returning from injuries the past two seasons. "In the past it has just been positive words. I don't know how committed I was. This time I am definitely ready to go."

It was bad enough that Pavano wasn't fully committed to getting back on the mound, but how dumb is this guy for admitting it? For now, Pavano is still expected to make his start against the Phillies on Sunday.
