News & Notes: Mariano Rivera threw a 30-pitch bullpen session today. According to Mark Feinsand, Mo made 15 throws from halfway up the mound and 15 from the rubber. "I feel bueno," Rivera said. ...... Edwar Ramirez also threw a bullpen session for the first time since his injury, and also said he felt good. ....... You can follow today's game on MLB.com's live boxscore.

****UPDATE 1:43 p.m.: This can't be good. Joba Chamberlain was taken out of today's game after facing five batters without recording an out. He gave up one hit, walked four, and threw a wild pitch. I'm not sure why he was taken out. It was either an injury of some sort, or just ineffectiveness. Let's all pray it's the latter.

By the way, it's 6-0 Canada after one half inning.

UPDATE 1:51 p.m.: Peter Abraham just posted on his blog that as far as he knows Joba wasn't hurt, he was just bad.

Stick around and discuss the game
