Phil Hughes came in to be Superman tonight. I actually got to watch the game after a long day of work (yes, on a Sunday). The offense suddenly woke up. Joe Torre made strange relief pitching decisions. It’s just another day in Yankee land.

Mussina Allows Some Runs This Time, But Reaches A Milestone Quietly
In the middle of everything (Jobamania in New York), it seems everyone has forgotten that today you won your 250th career game. I did not forget Moose (well okay I did but then I remembered), so you get some congratulations too. I don’t know if anyone at YES remembered either, because they didn’t mention it [...]
ANDY PETTITTE MAKES HIS MILESTONE!
Congratulations Andy on win 200!!! I am so happy you came back to the Yankees for this, and that you were able to do it at Yankee Stadium!
Mussina Starts…Pitches 5 2/3 Scoreless Innings???
Moose didn’t really look like the Mussina of old tonight, but he did look a lot better than in his last starts and did good for the team today. Cano the Gold Glover (as opposed to Cano’s evil twin the Lead Glover) showed up tonight and that helped too. Moose had some really good movement [...]
Baseball Hodge Podge For Monday
Mike Lupica is pretty upset about this whole Rick Ankiel thing. Not that he shouldn’t be, but it’s a bit silly to expect someone to come out and say they’re wrong. Most people consult their agents and legal consul before making statements to the press (in short, most people aren’t Jason Giambi). In his little [...]
The Real Feel Good Story Of The Year (Is Not Ankiel)
Joba’s dad finally gets to see him pitch! On Friday, only about a year after another health crisis, Harlan and “a ton” of friends and family made the three-hour drive from their home in Lincoln, Neb., to see Joba and the Yankees play the Kansas City Royals. For the first time since Joba’s quick rise [...]
A Hodge Podge of Baseball Related Items
The most important news out there is that Andy Pettitte has been named the AL Pitcher of the Month for August!. He has some tough starts in September but I know he can continue to pitch well. In case you were unsure, Orioles fans are still angry at pretty much everything. You probably would be [...]
Great Moments in Roger Clemens History (Part 1)
Roger Clemens really didn’t like Mike Piazza.
The Perfect Baseball Game
Last night was my idea of a perfect game. Not an actual perfect game or a no hitter or anything above and beyond the normal (though I’ve seen those too), but a game that I wish every game could be. In the Bronx, versus the Red Sox, Andy Pettitte starting. It’s August, the Yankees are [...]
John Smoltz, Pretty Insane Guy
Bobby Cox has moved John Smoltz up in the Braves rotation so that he’ll be pithing on three days rest tonight, which is pretty insane. I don’t think it’s just to move him and Hudson apart in the rotation, but so that he can get a start against the Mets. Still, pretty crazy move considering [...]
