Today in The Journal News
The LoHud Yankees Blog — Mariano Rivera threw out the first pitch and the fired the last as the Yankees beat the Mariners. That’s six in a row. Eric Hinske brings the Yankees some versatility. This notebook also has an update on A-Rod, Brian Bruney and Tony Romo. Yes, Tony Romo. Phil Hughes has taken to the bullpen. Bernie Williams played last night, too.

He's only 23, he's still building up innings to the point where he can be a full-time starter, and he is happy to in the majors, regardless of the role: "I feel the same way they do, I'm still a starter," he said. "But I'm ...

The Phil Hughes Situation
The Yankee Universe — ... Watching the game last night, I was quite upset when I saw Brian Bruney enter the game in the 8th inning. While I like Bruney and believe that he can be the 8th inning guy (if you feel the need to have such defined roles), the obvious call was to leave Phil Hughes in the game. Hughes had breezed through the 7th inning on 9 pitches, and Joe Girardi had said previously that Hughes was to be used without any restraints. As Joe said (courtesy of Pete Abe): ...
