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.

well hopefully

Robertson doesn’t turn into a Cy Young pitcher tonight.

C'mon IPK

Give all the sportswriters something good to write tonight for a change.

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.

Nice

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.

Boy that Ensberg

he sure looks like a juicer.

yeah they do eventually

English teachers and lawyers. Something like 90 percent of lawyers wear glasses (or contacts or lasix)

I would've said Math teacher

but since he was asking Hughes blog readers about book recommendations, I figured English teacher was more fitting.

by anaconda on May 1, 2008 7:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he wants non-fiction recommendations

so maybe history is more fitting

I’ve been pretty busy at work, so I haven’t had a chance to crack many books and kill time.

Jared Diamond? Harold Bloom? John Keegan?

Lots of political stuff and military conflicts (past and present). But we won’t get into that in this forum because this ain’t the place for it.

Baseball and sports in general as well.

whatever happened to them?

Careful

don’t knock the traditional media. You’re just a blogger. Buzz Bissinger will come yell at you.

two blogs: I Can Haz Cheeseburger and Stuff White People Like both just got 6 figure advances on book deals. Traditional media can chew on that for a while.

I asked people on the Game Thread last night if anyone watched Costas and I didn’t any response from anyone.

Pete Abe did a post on it. I did not see the question.

by bxgrl1 on May 1, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm proud of him

They refused to distinguish between bloggers and commentators. And they keep asserting that bloggers don’t care about sports credentials- how else would Pete A be so popular?

"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."

by jscape2000 on May 1, 2008 7:50 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."

by jscape2000 on May 1, 2008 7:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

"The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided." -Casey Stengel

by bxgrl1 on May 1, 2008 8:10 PM EDT to parent up   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 to parent up   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.

M& MD

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.

Damon already had a groin issue before that play. Kim Jones said that yesterday on the pregame.
