It’s Phil Hughes vs. former Yankee, and new Padre, Ian Kennedy. This is the first time Kennedy has ever pitched against the Yanks.

Never mind tomorrow’s hoopla:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Why no Gritner?
I hope they destroy him

Brett Gardner had his hand spiked last night, but it’s a non-issue today. Just a day off. “I’m trying to keep everyone involved here,” Girardi said. “I think that’s the important thing, because everyone’s worked really hard and I think it’s important to do that. Against the lefties we’ll figure it out when we get to Chicago.”
Ohhh.
Yeah, it's important to keep the worse players involved. Everyone gets a chance, everybody plays, that's the important thing.
Excellent.
I'm glad Phil is getting the chance to Be Involved.
Aaaaaaaand, that'll do it.
So Pineda has a sore shoulder and Hughes sucks. Just wonderful.
Phil did manage to get three outs. One was an RBI, one was the pitcher sacrificing, and the other was a CS.
phelps is hurt too and jetes has a calf issue again.
good times.
Yeah, that's a good strategy. You want Phil pitching with as many men on base as possible.
Oh, come on. I think everyone needs a chance to play. Joe hardly gave Phil a chance at all!
(Sarcasm makes the whole thing less painful somehow. For me.)
Hit the showers, Phil. Nice work. I can't even muster enough rage to string about 25 os after a b.
I'm so glad we held on to Phil Hughes this week. This was fun.
Lettuce remember Romine's first ML home run.
[14] Oh, man. Damn.
Isn't San Diego the birthplace of the Caesar Salad? Just sayin'.
So Pineda has a sore shoulder...
This should surprise no one. Britt. Burns.
[15] Yes. San Diego and Tijuana, contemporaneously. (The Caesar Salad features romaine, is why I say.)
Tying run on deck.
Tying run at the plate.
Couldn't CC bat for Li'l Bridge? Or somebody who isn't hitting .121?
I mean, Brent Lillibridge against Huston Street? That was comical.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, good fight, boys.
I couldn't watch. Bidding on a house in Florida.
