Game postponed. Probably a doubleheader tomorrow.

edit: no doubleheader has been announced, so I guess they'll wait

 

tonight may be rained out as well

next mutual off day is May 13 I think

 

They're going to try and play.

Expected start time: 8:30 PM

edit: postponed

 

Guess Cleveland did their Indian rain dance so they didn't have to get pummeled 4 days Ina row.

 

Yankees still trying to get Hughes a start, so he is now scheduled to start tomorrow instead of Kuroda

 

Hughes today? NO reason to turn it on

 

Tremendous triple play last night against the O's. Here's an interesting stat that I found out from MLB's Twitter:

"Tonight’s triple play turned by @Yankees was first 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play in @MLB history and first turned by Yanks at home since 6/3/68".

Ironically, it was also the same year the Jets went to the Super Bowl. I'm not saying that history will repeat, just stating the observations.

 

How much more of Phil Hughes do we have to see? Can someone please explain tome how Phelps hasnt gotten his job yet.Counting the days til this piece of shit's contract is up

 

Is Cappy still around to defend this guy? He used to tell me that Hughes had 3 plus pitches. From day one the guy didnt have a plus fastball or a plus curve. And no 3rd pitch to even speak of. we must have had 20 offers for this guy through the years and never would move him. Why?

 

I was thinking the same thing today driving. Can't wait till this jo's contract is done.

 

Good to see jonnyd still can't make it until April before drastically overreacting. Not interested in defending Hughes, though. Not worth my time, regardless of what anyone thinks of his talent or whether he has lived up to his potential. I'd prefer not to spend any of my free time bitching about the performance of some millionaire athlete none of us will ever meet. I work about eighty hours per week. I don't even know what the Yankees' record is right now. I presume from the bitching that Hughes had a bad start. Alas.

 

Hughes sucks. Trynna throw 90 mph fastballs down the pipe and expect to blow batters away. Put this fukker in the 'pen or send him to the minors.

 

Well youre no fuckin fun anymore are ya

 

Kuroda going for the shutout

 

Yankees win 3-0. All the runs came in the 5th

Kuroda allowed 5 hits, no walks, and struck out 5
