2007 Yankee Game Thread

I think it's time for a win' date=' period.[/quote']

 

lol, good point. Maybe Pettitte hands the ball right to Mo? Pettitte's been the only consistent pitcher so far this year and it's his job to be the stopper tonight. It would also be nice if there wasn't extra pressure on Phil Hughes tomorrow night to stop a long losing streak.

 

By the way, it's raining pretty good right now. Any report on possible rain delays?

[ORS]

The game tonight is PPD per Yahoo. Does the Phranchise get bumped back and debut against the Sox? Or do they keep him throwing against Toronto and throw Pettitte? I think the latter.

[Optimist]

I think the Yankees should stick with Phil for tomorrow. While a Hughes - Matsuzaka matchup would certainly be entertaining, I'm much more comfortable with him starting off his career against the Blue Jays and whoever they put out there tomorrow. I think, especially since he pitched in Sunday's game, Pettitte could go on Friday without any issues.

 

While I hate the game being rained out (nothing to watch on television now!) I do like the fact that, finally, the Yankee relievers will get a day off. Although Joe will probably have a few of them stay at the Stadium and throw an inning or two just for the heck of it.

Nesn has just reported that Matsuzaka will be facing Andy Pettitte on Friday. Not sure what they'll do for the next 2 games, maybe it stays Igawa & Wang

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Hughes will pitch Thursday and Pettitte will pitch Friday. Theres no word on Saturday yet.

[Cocos Disciples]

In MLB.com, it said either Karstens or Igawa for Saturday.

There is no reason why this game should have been cancelled, lol. The Yankees have the call prior to the game. George wanted the pen to have a night off, this is a good way to do it.

[jacksonianmarch]

3 straight change ups K Teixeira. That change is nasty.

[riverside sluggers]

So I guess theyre sticking with Mienky as the starting 1st baseman?

and you wonder why Torre needs firing.

[jacksonianmarch]

Young error, Yankees up 2-0.

[jacksonianmarch]

Posada RBI double, 4-0.

[jacksonianmarch]

Cano 2 run double. 6-0. SWEET.

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes is absolutely dominating. 0 hits through 3 innings, faced the minimum and has thrown 32 pitches.

[jacksonianmarch]

Hughes just made Lofton look awful. Wow.

[jacksonianmarch]

7-0. ARod is one fire again.

[jacksonianmarch]

8-0, the lineup is coming together this game. WHERE WAS THIS OVER THE WEEKEND!!

[jacksonianmarch]

9-0. Cruisin.

[jacksonianmarch]

that curveball is ridiculous.

[jacksonianmarch]

Its the bottom of the 5th and the Rangers just got the ball out of the infield (flyout) for the first time.

[Cocos Disciples]

Is Hughes looking nasty? Whats his velocity at?

[TheKilo]

Snap, crackle, POP?

he was around 91-93. But his curve and change were filthy tonight.

How long will hughes be out...about a month or so? Too bad

6 weeks at least, probably more. It's not that big a deal though since he'd be sent down soon anyway.

Everyone in the dugout looked as if they hd been kicked in the balls. The announcers sounded like they were doing a funeral.

Pop goes the hamstring as the hamstring goes POP.

Probably because he just got f***ed out of a no hitter. Other than that it's just s*** luck but it's not like we were counting on him to be our ace in the beginning of the season. If that were the case then it'd be a huge deal.

Why would he be sent down?

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

Why would he be sent down?

 

Cashman did say at one point that Hughes was only up for as long as Mussina was on the DL. Nobody really believed him though.
