2.5 down, Bullpen update

Even though the Yanks have played pretty well of late, Boston has won nine in a row. Nothing much you can do about that but keep winning.

Here's a bullpen update from the Post. Seems that Dotel had a good session off flat ground yesterday (big deal), Aaron Small accepted his assignment to Columbus (a little surprising), and--for the big news--Pavano might be on a mound by the end of the week. If that is the case, we might actually have him back by mid-August. I'm sure he'll be of no real use to us this season, but we've got him for two more, and working off some rust this season would be a good thing.
