Carl Pavano returns

Carl Pavano has made 3 starts since June 2005. He's earned about $11 of his 4-year, $40 million contract that he signed in 2005. Yesterday, he pitched well enough in his return as the Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-3.

"It's amazing. This is what I get paid to do, this is what I live for," Pavano said. "This is all I really want, to go out there every fifth day and do my job.

"Asked if he could help the Yankees this season, Pavano replied, "I know I can.

The Yankees definitely need the help (health) in their starting rotation. But something gives me the sense that he'll soon be back on the DL. So, who will miss a "start" first: Carla Pavano or Aaron Rodgers?
