Bronx Cheer

An awesome time to be a yankee fan indeed. A sweep of the dreaded enemy. Andy Pettitte doing awesome even though he doesn't have the victories to show for it. 7 innings of shutout baseball (somebody please give him some credit). I am a little perplexed about Phil Hughes though. Is he your 8th inning guy or not? If he is he needs to be out there in the eighth inning in that game in that sitiuation. You need to go for the jugular in that situation. They're babying Joba and now it seems like they're babying Hughes. I really wish they would stop. Anyhow they won so all is well. Girardi or Cashman won't be called out on that decision eventhough Phil Coke gave up the lead on that 2 run shot by Victor Martinez. I'm not saying Phil Coke hasn't pitched well, but Hughes obviously has electric stuff and has been something special out of the bullpen. Did you see the way those idiots were carrying on after Martinez hit that homer? It was like they just won the world series or something. HEY! Asshole! You haven't won anything. Of course the back to back and belly to belly shots were nice but Bard was obviously pitching around A-Rod. It was nice to see Posada hit that double and then Swisher drive the both of them in. Things like that made the teams from the late nineties so great. Hey did you guys see on Saturday when Cotchman leaned into that pitch trying to get hit? What a vagine.

ALSO

i was at saturday’s game and A-rod was hit not once, but twice! The first time they threw at his head and hit him with a curve ball right in the side of the head. The ump called it a foul ball and A-rod and giardi argued it, cause it was clearly a throw at his head. The whole stadium saw it

Replay's

showed the curve might have crazed his jersey, and clearly hit his bat. it was an off speed pitch that got away. You don’t throw at a guy with a curveball, you go with the straight heat.

Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

Phil Hughes

Yes it was frustrating that he did not come in last night in an obvious Hughes situation, but lets say he did come in and let up a homerun. People would have been on Gerardi’s case for a long time about how Hughes was tired. I personally think that Hughes should have been in, in a 1-0 game vs. the Red Sox but the decision to bring in Coke was not a shocker to me.

Apparently wasn’t available last night which is why Coke came in…

jealousy

being the unfortunate pirate fan i am it was hard to watch the yankees absolutely dominate a hated rival like that. i pull for the yankees just to have an AL and an NL team but i’m a Pirate at heart. if only we could steal a few arms and bats :*( hahaha
