IT'S THE SUMMER OF ligament discontent. Major league pitchers are spending more time in rehab than Lindsay Lohan.
The struggling New York Yankees have started 11 pitchers so far because of injuries. Even young stars like Seattle's Felix Hernandez and Minnesota's Francisco Liriano — who is missing the entire season after Tommy John surgery — have been shut down over arm pain.
With four pitchers from their Opening-Day rotation on the disabled list, the Nationals are among the most bereaved of the lot.
