Ponson's Revenge
Sidney Ponson pitches 6 1/3 innings against his former team, allowing three runs as the Yankees defeat the Rangers 5-3. He walked one and struck out four. Given that he had walked more than he struck out in his time with the Yankees, that was a good outing for him.
David Murphy and Ivan Rodriguez each left the game after a collision at home plate. Ivan braced himself, but Murphy slid with his knees. David seems to have hurt his knee, but it's not clear how Ivan was hurt.
Update: I-Rod's knee was also hurt.

I'm not sure if "Revenge" is the right word. I mean, Ponson is a racist, alcoholic mongoloid who called his manager a "f***ing ni**er" and tried to beat up his All-Star shortstop. The Rangers had every reason to release him. "Redemption" is a more appropriate word, I think...
El sid to the rescue - NYY big 3 - Moose, Pettite, Ponson? Sid's got the big part anyway.
Murphy's on the DL with the knee injury. He was one of the team's hottest hitters, and the Rangers need every hitter they can get.
