Another hot n humid one out there. It’s Hughes and you have to imagine a bunch of homers.
1. Suzuki CF
2. Nix SS
3. Cano DH
4. Wells RF

Never mind the sideshow:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Yeah, I don't think we'll need much imagination to imagine homers.
Everyone please imagine solo homers.
Whoever just imagined that double play: good work!
Oh, a Hughes start. Suddenly I don't feel so bad about missing the game.
I wonder if stadium attendance goes way down when Hughes pitches.
4) It probably doesn't help.
It's a solo!
Hey, a home run. Go figure.
Phil gave up a gopher ball? Alert the media!
The rest of the Yankees appear to be in a hurry.
I refuse to be the first one to use the words "Quality Start".
Five pitches.
Unbelievable.
(Derek Holland threw five pitches in the sixth inning.)
Seems like one of those years for Hughes. Even when he doesn't suck he gets no run support.
Yeah. I mean, he kind of did suck, but only two runs in seven innings, can't complain.
[12] Convene the kangaroo court!
Yankees starters need to figure out a way to give up negative runs so the team can win 0 to -1
Oh, good. A play.
2 runs, 8 innings: that it a good day.
Okay, I concede. I'll give him credit.
Sittin on the plane. On the way to NY...
Yeah, Phil did alright...
Somewhat shocking.
Good lord.
Could someone at least put the ball in play?
We have TWO hits.
Not so shocking...
[19] Dude, turn the damn thing off. You know the rules.
Presto in for the 9th.
And I'm off to Yankeeland!
Still on the ground in ATL
I'm out
Well, if we score three runs here it will have been a pretty awesome game after all.
Yeesh.
Okay, now it will be even more awesome...
Would have been.
Two bleeping hits and two bleeping walks. Just when Phil phinally pitches a good game.
Two Hits? Against a guy with an ERA higher than Phil's? Trending towards .500. Hope they still have a winning record at the All Star game. While the castoffs and misfits did well for all these months, their warts are showing all over the place. Maybe I'm just having one of those days but I'm feeling discouraged about the Yanks right now.
