PREGAME NOTES:
More bad news regarding Phil Hughes. According to Brian Cashman, Hughes has suffered a stress fracture in his ninth rib and will be shut down for quite awhile. He is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks. Ugh.
As most of you know by now, Darrell Rasner has been recalled from Scranton to take Hughes' spot on the roster and will start on Sunday - also known as PA Day.
During their last six games, the Yankee offense has been downright horrific; scoring just 19 runs and hitting just .202 overall and .184 w/ RISP.
Ian Kennedy has never faced the Tigers.
Nate Robertson is a lifetime 1-5, 4.86 ERA in 7 starts against the Yanks, including 0-4, 4.11 ERA in his last 4 starts. He is a lifetime 0-3, 6.97 ERA in 4 starts at Yankee Stadium. Yanks career numbers vs. Robertson can be viewed here.

Just the thought of Shelley Duncan batting clean-up hurts my brain
no offense, Shelley.

Ditto
I like Ensberg much more as a hitter, and I’d bat Jeter third at the moment.

Having a lead also should help Kennedy settle down into a rhythm. Let’s hope the offense doesn’t fizzle from here on out like they did last night.

I would've said Math teacher
but since he was asking Hughes blog readers about book recommendations, I figured English teacher was more fitting.

he wants non-fiction recommendations
so maybe history is more fitting

Ooo
I just got to the part where Buzz says he’s spent 40 years “honing his craft”...
You’ve got a degree in journalism, I’ve got a freakin’ MA in English. Like we’ve never worried about the quality of our writing.
If I’d been sitting in that chair, I suspect I would have used every adjective I know to thrash the smug little prick.

No kidding...
I’m glad they had Buzz on but it goes to show you just how much they are out of touch with the country right now and how much they are losing audiences.
Hey, I know Costas feels the same way, but he’s not a jackass about it. I can understand where he’s coming from. He spent his career honing his craft and now he’s losing his luster to some bloggers who don’t have any real credentials at all. Some don’t have any ethical standards either.
I’ve always been a Costas fan. Hell, I wanted to be Bob Costas when I was in high school.

I think the point that was missed is
that it IS a meritocracy. The good stuff rises, the bad stuff goes away eventually. And the bad comment leavers.

by bxgrl1 on May 1, 2008 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Indeed
But I think a big reason why that point was missed is because Deadspin is probably the king of sports blogs right now and the nasty comments read were from his site.
They did make a great point about sports in general. Talk radio and the blogosphere is often held captive and even driven by overreactions, negativity, and entertainment.
That’s not a good thing.
by anaconda on May 1, 2008 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
the other thing
is we get to talk back and talk to each other when idiots like Mike and the Mad Dog are going on and on about stupid crap.
I can read the dreck in the Post and the News on the subway on the way home and then come here and complain about it.
They’re mad because we have this real time criticism and discussion of THEM.

The only time I ever listen to that show is when they have a decent guest on. They are stuck in their traditional thinking and 80s approach of buying every FA or trading the youngsters for star players past their prime.
They are incapable of adapting to new strategies.
