After it seemed likely that he had been lost for the season, New York Yankees starting pitcher Phil Hughes had a positive bullpen, and could get the chance to make one last start down the stretch. Having last pitched September 12th against the Mariners, Hughes had the following to say on his progress:
Ball was coming out well, too. Not only was I pain-free, but I felt good as well, arm-wise and locating pitches. Felt clean in my delivery.
This year has been a disaster for me, but now is the time to put all of that behind us and focus on what everyone has in mind for the postseason.
Unfortunately, Hughes has not been able to contribute much of anything in a season in which the organization hoped that he would climb up to the top end of the rotation. Although he hasn't given many reasons to be hopeful, if he can find his fastball for the playoff run, that's one more arm to add to the mix.
Joe Girardi for manager of the year? Somebody's gotta win it, right?

So Hughes had a positive bullpen
does that mean he now has a negative bullpen? And why does he have his own bullpen, is he that fat?

also in that Montero HR video
it looks like Pena, Girardi and Long are pissed at Montero for disgracing the catcher position. Like if he could only call the game as good as he hits.

SHHHH
Sensitive subject, Girardi does not care for the amazing offensive catchers replacing the stiffs. Hence his burning Posada’s locker in ’97.
As far as Joe for MoY, sure, why not?
It’s not like the award really means all that much, anyways, right?
Francona should win it.
He managed to turn a World Series favorite into an afterthought.
F*** Boston!

Carl Crawford should win it.
He’s one of the reasons the Yanks are in first place.

MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
Girardi should be a serious contender for Manager of Year
He won’t be considered though because he manages the Yankees. It will probably go to Maddon, but the no one had the Yankees winning the division. All the talk before the season was how they were screwed for not getting Lee, but here we are division winner/best record in the AL. Girardi and “binder” can give me headaches, but he keeps the bullpen fresh and should be given some credit for this year’s success.

I agree completely
But I’m almost positive they’ll find someone else to give it to. Maddon’s a lock if they get the wild card, possibly even if they don’t. :/

Manager of the year goes to the team not expected to contend
So I’m going to say it’s Leyland or Maddon.

I think if the Rays make the playoffs Maddon will win, if they don’t Girardi will.

In all his years of success, Torre only won MoY twice
In 1996, when the Yankees were a surprise (even though they had really gotten good in 1994, when Buck won MOY) and 1998, when they had the greatest season of all time.
Managers that are expected to contend given their budget generally don’t win. The winner this year will either be Maddon, the little guy competing with two Goliaths, or Leyland, whose club was .500 last year.

F*** Boston!

Anyone who didn’t think the Yankees would at least be the WC should not be allowed to analyze baseball.

Even more surprising
More people had the last place Twins winning the division than the Tigers! FTH!

Hope Hughes is a team player & not saying he is OK, when he
really isn’t OK. I know he wants to pitch in the playoffs, but not
if it’s at the expense of someone who has performed well this
season in a similar role. Hughes seems to get hurt a lot for
a guy with so little major league time. Same goes for Chamberlin.
I miss Ian Kennedy
Hughes & Burnett are the 13th & 14th best Yankee pitchers ERA wise.
Interesting to see how many pitchers Yanks take to the playoffs.
Noesi might be in danger. He’s only pitched in 29 gms this season while
Hughes has pitched in 15 (sic) . Noesi has an ERA of 4.14 while Hughes
is 6.00 & Burnett is 5.28.
Do the Yanks try to win the playoffs, or do they play guys lik Hughes &
Burnett who both resemble batting practice pitchers this season and
images of the days gone by TV program “home run derby”?
