Robbie is so lazy… last night he just got tired of playing and said “Im taking my bat and going home, keep the ball”

Does anyone doubt that Cano is going to get a pitch high and tight this afternoon? I mean, it’s Ozzie Guillen.

Personally, I think it’s a legitimate strategy. Seeing as some of our starters (*cough Burnett, Joba cough*) are prone to blowing up now and then, who knows what we get in the playoffs. I’d rather have a Hughes that isn’t at the end of some innings limit and is able to come in & pitch 3-4 innings in a big spot – possibly a few times in one series.

I didn’t. Now, Robbie wasn’t Barry Bondsing it, puffing his chest out and showing up the pitcher and self-glorifying, it was more like an expression of relief and pride that he got the job done.

Still, I like it best when they hit it and just start trotting…head down. Matsui is the best at this.

Of course you earned it, I was just making the statement so people could see how rediculous it is when they say teams “lay down” for Boston, but the Yankees have to somehow play harder to beat them. They know it’s wrong as they type, but still the press on.

The great thing about baseball is there is no clock. You have 27 outs to use, none count more than another, what happens in the 3rd inning is just as important as what happens in the 8th inning because it all counts the same on the scoreboard.

The Yankees have certainly won their share of blowouts, as any team with an excellent offense and solid pitching will do, but they’ve had their share of games where a dumb error, Luis Castillo’s comes to mind, helped them win a game too.

Why didn’t Hughes throw another inning?

He was great again. That one walk is probably why they scored anything. Rios followed a bloop double and Nix extended the inning with an infield single. Robbed him of a win but still impressive.

loved cano’s ‘stand-there-and-stare’ after the bat hit the ball. such a badass moment.
