Sorry for not posting after yesterday's game. My friend Joe and I took a little road trip to Erie, PA to check out the Trenton Thunder. They crushed the Seawolves 10-1. I also got Jesus Montero's autograph. Good times. Yesterday's game in a nutshell: A.J. was again the man. Hughes is in, ...
No second-guess here; Hughes should have stayed in
nydailynews.com 7/1/2009 — I’m not a big second-guesser most of the time, since I have to assume that most managers know more about baseball than I do. But I first-guessed Joe Girardi’s decision to bring in Brian Bruney for Phil Hughes and still don’t really ...

Our New York Yankees were very fortunate to win last night after Brian Bruney imploded in the eighth ...
Phil Hughes to assume eighth inning role?
lennysyankees.com 7/1/2009 — Joe Girardi continues to call Brian Bruney the setup man on this team, but after last night’s blown save in the eighth, Bruney might be degraded to middle relief. After watching Phil Hughes continue to dominate the sixth and seventh innings, it seems he could potentially replace Bruney for the ...
Yanks' Grit it Out Against Mariners (postgame notes 30 June 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/1/2009 — Given that Mariano Rivera threw out tonight's ceremonial first pitch and that Joba Chamberlain was starting, it is perhaps not surprising that in the end it came down to the bullpen. Joba Chamberlain started, and while he wasn't horrible in any sense of the word, he also wasn't very good, or ...
Nearly set-up for failure
yankees.lhblogs.com 7/1/2009 — Brian Bruney on his outing tonight:
“That’s my bad, obviously. I thought I threw the ball pretty well tonight. I can go home on sleep on that. I’m fine with it. It’s not like I’m out there walking guys to their bases every time. I feel good. ...
All the pieces could be coming together
soxandpinstripes.com 6/29/2009 — Often times on this site we have talked about how Baseball has many twists and turns throughout the span of a 162 game season. It's impossible to know anything is for certain. The majority of predictions we make in the preseason will look foolish by November if we only went back and checked up ...
Hughes Becoming a Weapon Out of the Pen
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 6/22/2009 — From Anothony DiComo : And according to Girardi, he can. For the Yankees, perhaps the brightest spot in this weekend's series loss to the Marlins was Hughes, who so impressed his manager with a perfect inning of relief Saturday that Girardi was prepared to use Hughes out of the 'pen again the ...

Hughes Getting Very Comfortable in the Pen
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 7/1/2009 — Here's a quote from Hughes about his new role, via Peter Abraham : "I feel like I have more control, my stuff plays up a little bit," Hughes said. "It feels like a good fit for me. Who's to say what the future will be? Maybe this is what I do for the rest of my career." Still, Hughes sees the ...
Do Yankees need to designate a setup man?
lennysyankees.com 7/4/2009 — The Yankees have had the luxury in recent years to possess more than one dominant reliever, which enabled them to finish close games at a high success rate. The 2009 Yankees bullpen lacks a guy like Tom Gordon or Joba Chamberlain, and it might do more harm than good to designate one reliever as ...
