Warning: Don't Get Your Phil Hughes Hopes Up

Found May 07, 2012 on Sliding Into Home:
PLAYERS: Phil Hughes
TEAMS: New York Yankees

So Phil Hughes didn't get bombed yesterday, against a team with 9 wins and the 4th lowest run total in the AL, and now suddenly everyone thinks the guy has figured it out. Let's look at some headlines, shall we? Ken Davidoff says, the "Yankees should keep Hughes in rotation. John Harper believes that Hughes is turning things around and turning heads with his newly found velocity. (OMG HE THREW 95 MPH!!! OMG!!!) Sweeny Murti also thinks Hughes may have started to "figure it out". Seriously guys? Hughes allows 3 runs over 6.2 to a terrible team and now this icon of underachievement has "figured it out"? Give me a break. The knee-jerkery in this town, whether positive or negative, is absolutely insane. Call me when Hughes has a good month, or how about just two good outings in a row against teams that actually know how to score runs. Then, maybe we can start to get excited about the right-hander. But until that happens, I wouldn't g...

The Yankees are back in New York after a 5-5-road trip to host the Tampa Bay Rays for a three-game set at the stadium starting tonight. James Shields at Yankee Stadium. Last time these two teams met was the start of the 2012 season, and the Rays swept the Yankees right out of Tropicana Field.

Series Preview: Rays @ Yankees

Via Bronx Pinstripes  |  May 08, 2012
After a much-needed travel day off, the Yankees will return to the Bronx for a six-game home-stand, which begins with a three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays. When they opened up the 2012 season in Tampa Bay, the outcome wasn’t favorable for the Yankees. They were swept away in that initial three-game series and have been on an up and down ride ever since. A little payback...

Chipper feels Mariano's pain

Via Fox Sports  |  May 06, 2012
Atlanta third baseman Chipper Jones watched the video of New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while shagging batting-practice flyballs last week. He saw Rivera carted off the field. He heard Rivera, whose career plans beyond this season had been up in the air, then vow to return to the mound in 2013. And Jones could empathize...

    Mention the words “Babe Ruth” and “for sale” in the same sentence and people’s ears generally perk up. Former New York Yankees pitcher David Wells recently announced he will be putting up for auction a hat worn by the Bambino in the early 1930′s. Wells wore the cap during a game in 1997 [...]

A Night With The Yankees

Via Turn On The Jets  |  May 05, 2012
Guest contributor Justin Fritze walks us through another one of his nights at Yankees Stadium -  The day started with rain. Rain and more rain for about five hours. I was going to see the Yankees play the Orioles at 7pm, sans Swisher yet sadly with Phil Hughes starting at pitcher. Hughes was 1-3 this year with an ERA rising over 6, so to say I had general apprehensions about his...
