Welcome Back Phil

Just seen on MLB that Hughes is getting the start tomorrow. Ah well one more chance to choke up a game in the home ball park, reduce his impending free agency at a fat contract. The Yankees need every game to stay alive, starting Hughes is not the row to hoe. I could hope we'd get lucky but I've not noticed that whenever he gets in there.

...he'll be on a very short leash, just as he was in his last start...and was pulled early by Girardi.

Nice to see you're keeping a close eye on Hughes Joe. But isn't that like closing the barn door after the horses already ran out?

I admire staying positive until the end but the season is over. They can bring Andy Hawkins back to start the game for all I care.

Hell he'd probably pitch better then Hughes.

...he doesn't really have any options, especially now since CC is done.

At this point of the season he'd have NOTHING to lose by giving someone like Warren or even Kelley a shot. Giving the ball to Hughes AGAIN you mine as well just throw in the towel. Because Hughes pitching is pretty much a guaranteed loss. Now watch him surprise the hell out of all of us.

If they drop this one and the Indians win it's over. It doesn't matter.
