The Yankees keep losing first basemen, but not games

NEW YORK -- This is the New York Yankees' story on most nights right now: They win, this time defeating the Los Angeles Angels 6-3, and another first baseman bites the dust.

On Thursday, it was Chris Parmelee. This would not be that big of a deal on most nights, but he just hit two homers Wednesday and the Yankees are running low on first basemen.

It is now an all-out plague. Before the season began, top prospect Greg Bird was lost for the season to shoulder surgery.
