In a day that Derek Jeter was honored before the game, Core Four compatriot Jorge Posada stole the show in his return to the lineup with a two run single and a grand slam. With the low strike not being called, Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson had a tough time being economical, and the Yankees were able to knock him out of the game in the fifth inning, preceding the Posada slam.
Phil Hughes pitched like it was 2010: He got good defense, tons of run support, gave up a home run at Yankee Stadium, and threw six strong innings. He's probably destined for the pen nonetheless, but he was more Philthy than Master Chef tonight.
While in some of his other recent starts, Hughes would come out with a big fastball (touching 95 MPH) and then taper off as the game went along, Hughes was able to maintain his fastball today, sitting 91-92. Graph post-jump:
Curtis Granderson hit home run number 33, the Yankees put 21 men on base, and Cory Wade and Hector Noesi mopped up the last three innings once the Yankees had blown the game open.

Hughes did well today
If he pitches like this I hope Joe actually uses him out of the bullpen and doesn’t make him Noesi’s replacement on the end of the bullpen bench.
Grandy is a beast. Take the series tomorrow.
CALL UP JESUS MONTERO!
JSCAPE CAN'T WIN COG, THE SYSTEM WILL EXPLODE!
I’ll bet he threatened to trade you if he didn’t win.
Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.
I didn't
But I suspect the system will survive. If the internets do start to implode, I could always retire to restore the balance.

Would have been a perfect time for Jorge to step aside
I actually thought it would be cool if Jorge retired after his grand slam. What a great way to go. Wonder if any one elses last at bat resulted in a grand slam??

Remember when people wanted us to trade for him earlier this year? And how the smarter members were like, “uhhhh, no thanks, he’s nuts.”
So now the guys in the subway are saying Jesus is coming on October 21, 2011, but that would mean he wouldn't be on the playoff roster, let alone be eligible for it. I really don't know where these guys are getting their information from...

Nope
A lot of guys came close with three-run homers, though. And no, I didn’t go looking for the link right now. I was looking for single game records to figure out where CC stood with 5 solo HRs. Apparently, the record is 7.

A Dance with Dragons is long. Which is good, since if I read at the pace of one page per day, I’ll still have to wait about 5 years before the next book comes out.

Harsh, but true.
I’ve actually decided to wait until the rest of the series is out (or Martin dies leaving the series unfinished) and start again from the beginning.
Usqueadbaugham! Anam muck an dhoul ! Did ye drink me doornail?
Doubtful it goes unfinished
Especially with HBO tied to it now. I would assume a ghost writer, like Sanderson when RJ died.
Remember when I was Lance Pendleton's biggest fan? Back to reality.
No doubt you are correct
I likely won’t bother if it’s finished by someone else though. Unless there’s only one book left. I think Martin thinks there are only two left, but I’ve also heard Jordan envisioned quite a bit fewer books than he ended up writing. Seeing where A Feast for Crows ended up, I had a hard time seeing that only two more books set after that book would be enough.

It's somewhat off-topic, but...
The Mariners put up five runs on Beckett (two via HRs, one of them by Ichiro on the first pitch of the game) in the bottom of the first. 5-0 M’s b2.

I was a bit surprised he challenged Ichiro from that shallow
It was close enough that a strong arm wouldn’t need to make a perfect throw. Of course, Ichiro did. Props to Josh Bard for hanging onto the ball with his pink, and props to the umps for correctly reversing the initial call.

Well, Garcia’s accident may postpone the necessary decision for Girardi, but if Burnett has another bad start and Hughes another good one in the next week, I can’t see how Hughes should be the one who ends up going to the pen, given how poorly AJ has pitched over the past couple of months.

But what if only one can be GOOD out of the pen?
(repost)
If you gotta send 1 to the pen — it has to be Hughes.
He has the experience and the proven head and heart to succeed in the pen. God knows what you’d get with AJ: a) sending his brain out to the pen, and; b) actually handing him the ball in the middle of a game where he suddenly has to take control of it.
If he can’t control a game he starts how the hell is he ever going to be effective from the pen — unless you turn him into a 16mm mop (and THAT aint gonna happen.)
Nah. Best keep trying to get AJ "right" and move the guy who can either help you the most or hurt you the least to the pen.
I don't think there will be a game tomorrow
Its looking like 4-6" of rain will fall over the next day and a half.

Made a bet with my grandpa if Hughes would pitch well, I won it. Also, seeing Jorge and Grandy’s HRs were awesome. Best of all, my friend made her first correct call on a HR. Just a nice day.
