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?

Never mind my misgivings: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

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.
The home plate ump sucks.
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.
There's #4. Oi!
Hmm.
Crappy day so far. Hate to lose a series. C'mon boys: COMEBACK!
It ain't over, yet.
Come-back! Come-back! Come-back!
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.
Another dinger. Good catch by the fan. Settle down, though.
More dingers!
Fuck, did you see that swing by Robbie?
Goddamn but his swing is sweet when it's sweet.
You see him wait on that ball?
He flinched, held himself back and still hit it out.
Damn.
So is it "Everybody Homers" day at the Stadium?
Are back to back homers to start an inning considered rally killers? : )
[17] We are lucky to have him. Awesome he is.
Alpaca Yard!
Three innings to get three runs...
I'd kind of like to see Martin score on a single. You know, just for shits and giggles.
HEY NOW!
And now, I'd like to see a 2 run double.
Fuck.
Oh, Alex. #$@$@$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#
There's no way the final score of this game will be 6-5.
So lame about A Rod. He smoked that ball too. Just needed to get it in the fucking air.
Bollocks! shouldawouldacoulda.
That's a huge insurance run.
As I was saying...
Oh well.
The bed has been shit.
Sounds like I'm glad I'm missing this game.
Frustrating game. Then again, after winning 10 straight, any loses where you are in it and lose are going to be irritating.
For fuck's sake, Robbie! Catch and tag. Catch and tag.
Frustrating to lose a series when we (almost) might just as easily have swept.
Bleh. Hate losing before an off day.
Just catching the game on delay now. First inning homer given up by Hughes..sigh.
