"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Steam Heat

Phil Hughes looks to keep rollin’ on a hot summer afternoon in the Bronx.

So why do I have a hunch he’s going to get smacked around?

Hughes threw 2 curveballs to Uggla that were strikes but ruled balls by the umpire. And just like that it's 3-0. Crap.

[1] Maybe it's a good thing I'm at work and can't see the game.

Hey all.

4 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 12:30 pm

The home plate ump sucks.

5 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 12:33 pm

Ball should fly all day. Nice job by Hanson throwing 2 straight change ups to Rodriguez. Curious to see what he does with him next time up.

Keep it in the yard, Hughesie.

[5] Phil did not hear you.

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 1:22 pm

There's #4. Oi!

8 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 20, 2012 1:23 pm

Hmm.

9 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 1:31 pm

Crappy day so far. Hate to lose a series. C'mon boys: COMEBACK!

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 1:34 pm

It ain't over, yet.

11 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 1:38 pm

Come-back! Come-back! Come-back!

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 1:40 pm

Damn! What a grab! SHITE!

[5], [6], [7]
to the tune of that Elton John song...

giving up homers
serving up taters
s'rendering dingers ...
and I guess that's why they call him Phil Hughes

Whew!

Juuuust got out.

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:00 pm

Another dinger. Good catch by the fan. Settle down, though.

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:01 pm

More dingers!

17 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:01 pm

Fuck, did you see that swing by Robbie?

Goddamn but his swing is sweet when it's sweet.

18 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:01 pm

You see him wait on that ball?

He flinched, held himself back and still hit it out.

Damn.

19 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:04 pm

So is it "Everybody Homers" day at the Stadium?

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:05 pm

Are back to back homers to start an inning considered rally killers? : )
[17] We are lucky to have him. Awesome he is.

21 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:17 pm

Alpaca Yard!

22 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:26 pm

Three innings to get three runs...

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:37 pm

I'd kind of like to see Martin score on a single. You know, just for shits and giggles.

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:38 pm

HEY NOW!

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:39 pm

And now, I'd like to see a 2 run double.

26 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:40 pm

Fuck.

27 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:40 pm

Oh, Alex. #$@$@$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#

28 Hank Waddles   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:46 pm

There's no way the final score of this game will be 6-5.

29 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:51 pm

So lame about A Rod. He smoked that ball too. Just needed to get it in the fucking air.

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:51 pm

Bollocks! shouldawouldacoulda.

31 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:51 pm

That's a huge insurance run.

32 Hank Waddles   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:55 pm

As I was saying...

33 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:56 pm

Oh well.

34 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:58 pm

The bed has been shit.

35 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2012 2:58 pm

Sounds like I'm glad I'm missing this game.

36 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2012 3:14 pm

Frustrating game. Then again, after winning 10 straight, any loses where you are in it and lose are going to be irritating.

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 3:15 pm

For fuck's sake, Robbie! Catch and tag. Catch and tag.

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2012 3:29 pm

Frustrating to lose a series when we (almost) might just as easily have swept.

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jun 20, 2012 3:32 pm

Bleh. Hate losing before an off day.

40 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 20, 2012 8:59 pm

Just catching the game on delay now. First inning homer given up by Hughes..sigh.
