Yankees: Hugh for Hughes

Phil Hughes

New York Yankees loss + Baltimore Orioles win = AL East first-place tie. Yesterdays, 3-2, loss vs. the Blue Jays was the same old song of stranding runners on base and not doing anything to different to change things. The power hitting Yankees need to get back to hitting homers ASAP, as there are only four games left [...]

Believe me Yankees are October bound

Thanks to the added Wild Card spot, October started in September this season, extending the most exciting time on MLB’s calendar. With the AL East division still up for grabs, no doubt the New York Yankees have their work cut out for them, as do many other teams. Yankees great Yogi Berra once said something [...]

Yankees are losing October

English: Cap logo of the New York Yankees

The Chicago White Sox swept the New York Yankees right out of the Windy City; and now all that separates the Bombers from the Tampa Bay Rays is just three-games in the AL East. There is no nice way to put it this, this was a pathetic and disgusting showing by the Yankees. The only [...]

Yankee Stadium was hot but Hughes was not

Hughes…cloned-519x6501

Starting pitcher Phil Hugheswas up to his old tricks yesterday afternoon in the Yankees’ 10-5 rubber-game loss against to the Atlanta Braves. Hughes gave up four homers, six earned runs, with five strikeouts and was out of the game after just 4.1 innings pitched. In his last outing against the Nationals, both Hughes and the Yankee [...]

New York Yankees: Hughes you are far from complete

Yesterday afternoon, in Detroit, New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes took the hill in the rubber match vs. Tigers ace Justin Verlander. The Yankee bats got to the reigning AL CY Young and MVP winner quickly, as Derek Jeter hit a homer off the first pitch of the game. A-rod followed with a solo shot [...]

New York Yankees: Useless Hughes

It is no secret that I am not a Phil Hughes fan. Out of respect I kept my mouth shut over the last three weeks instead of pointing out the obvious that Hughes three wins were against terrible teams, and the Yankees scored 19 runs in those three games combined. In that back of my [...]

New York Yankees: Snoozing not scoring

After feasting on the Royals, and then sweeping an even weaker ball club in Oakland over this Memorial Day weekend, the New York Yankees headed to Anaheim to face the Angels with a five game winning streak. Well, the Yankees fought for eight innings but unfortunately there are nine innings in a baseball game. The [...]

New York Yankees: To start Girardi needs to ban homers and move Tex

The New York Yankees lost in Toronto for the second night in a row 4-1, and once again it was at the hand of the dead bats who left another 16 runners on base in both defeats. The line-up couldn’t muster up enough to back up Phil Hughes solid outing, as he only allowed two [...]

New York Yankees: Trusting Hughes too soon

Other than the New York Yankees winning their second series in a row over the weekend vs. the Mariners, once again it seems that pitcher Phil Hughes has managed to keep his spot in the starting rotation. I will be the first to admit that Hughes pitched better in his last two starts, which were against [...]

New York Yankees: What do you think Joe Girardi should do?

The New York Yankees have started of this 16-game stretch winning two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays, and are hoping to continue this streak over the weekend as they host the Seattle Mariners in the Bronx for a three-game set. A lot of Yankee fans were awaiting this series to see how the franchise’s [...]
