I'll watch the game to see the good-looking waitresses the Jays have working in the primo sections behind home plate, and also to see if Mo shows up.
It's a short list of reasons to watch, but there's at least two of 'em for you.

I like Phil Hughes. I hope that doesn't get me banned.

[2] Boooooooooooooo!

[2] Only if the cursing and gnashing of teeth that potentially follows his outings these days is unfairly directed at fellow Banterites despite numerous warnings (I've seen some things, man, and some stuff...)

Phil's start should be interesting. And by interesting I mean suck.

Well, technically, this is a Phil start, but not a Phil "start".

It's a tandem Phil/Huff start, where Phil is expected to go once (or so) through the order and then turn it over to Huff to do the same before going to the bullpen.

Here's an post from RAB on the arrangement from yesterday.

http://riveraveblues.com/2013/09/the-hughes-huff-tandem-an-unconventional-solution-to-a-big-rotation-problem-94357/

we'll see if it works ...

Nothing quite like a Phil Hughes game to get you excited.

Good start.
(I have no idea whether it's a good 'start'.)

He's surprised that Robinson Cano, who is slower than me, isn't running?

Soriano swinging at two balls out of the zone and then watching strike 3 was not good.

I wouldn't be against non tendering Cervelli and figuring out something with Murphy next year

Just as long as I don't have to watch another year of Chris Stewart.

I wonder when anyone last called hughes "phil franchise" and meant it.

Do yall remember posters on this very blog (not me -- I drank Koolaid) warning that Joba, IPK and Phranchise might be the Mets "young guns" reincarnated? Seems so very long ago now. Granted IPK was traded but still...

Maybe when he's only going to pitch half a game, Phil just gives up these half-homers.

The Yankees play, they may win. The string is still not the only thing. And we might get Mo. Can we celebrate a ,500 season? With all the drama this year, I say yes.

Plus we get a baby catcher.

Well, yes, that's physics folks ...

Well, three scoreless innings from Phil, and just two hits.

[18] What is?
I've been listening to the Jays crew.

Hughes will end up in Oakland, or some NL West team and win 20 games.

[20] The weight of various types of catcher's masks upon the potential for concussions.

Has anyone else noticed the Foxification of the Yes Network, with all the sound effects for every graphic?

[21] Oakland would be perfect for him. Seattle and San Diego, too.

I'd stay away from Arizona and, obviously, Colorado ...

Wrap out a hit Reynolds.

Wow, thanks Happ!

Boooooooo!

All Happ needs is a "y" to complete his pursuit. But does that apply in Canada? What are Canadians anyway, unpatriotic Americans?

Wow, you suck, Reynolds!

Play beautifull.....gag, Atta boy, Vernon.

Holy Fucking Meatball.

Ah, there it is. A Hughes.

There's the Hughes we know and love.

[32] You piss on the plan, the plan pisses on you.

This tag team pitching strategy is pure GENIUS.

Phil could have done that. First big league homer.

No, you twats, the "mistake" was not pulling Hughes to have a LHP face the LHB when you're already into the 2nd time around the order.

Also, if Phil threw "one bad pitch", why was there a runner standing on 2nd after a ringing double???

Pretty damn funny to listen to this booth try and dance around the fact that Phil Hughes has been a fucking dumpster fire on the mound this year and everyone's sick and fucking tired of watching him flair about on the mound.

Can Kay and Flaherty please stop saying if the Yankees had gotten a lead the jays would have just laid down and not given a shit about the game? But since they have a lead they are "now into it and want to win." Please! For the love of Mo!

[28] What are Canadians anyway...?

Oh dear God, let's not have that discussion! I live here (there?). This question is a sort of national obsession.

Canada is really big. The mountains are very pointy.

How about a run here.

Jeez, Alex.

A run!

And another!

Wow. The boys are glad to be rid of Happ, huh?

Woo hoo!

I'll be damned.

If I knew shutting my computer would lead to 4 runs I would have done it yesterday as well.

Damn plays.

Mo damn play

Mo time!

Hmmmmmmmmm.

I just want to say I think this is a bad idea.

So far, so good.

Insurance please!

If the Yankees do miraculously make it to the post season Hughes can be used to hold Mo's arm up as he runs in from the bullpen.

Somewhere, Scooter is screaming "You huckleberry, a bunt is catching the ball with the bat"

Ruh-roh

Fuck!

I remember a few months ago MLB network was trying so hard to make Kawasaki s star

Good camera view on that one. Lyle had him all the way at third.

Out at third! Now some 6-4-3 bingo.

I can't stomach a gw single here. C'mon, MO!!!!!!

Don't like that out. 2 in scoring position.

Mo!

Praise be to Mo. Thank greatness.

God Bless JP Arencibia

Yippie. For what it's worth, the season; she's lives. Praise to Mo.

[40] I was just being provocative. I truly love Canada, and have some great Canadian friends and associates. Plus, there's always Hockey Night in Canada.

I still like Phil Hughes!

[69] He seems like a good bloke, So Cal mellow. Maybe when he becomes an insurance agent you could do some business with him.

That reminds me. I met Frank Thomas today at our local Stew Leonards. He has his own beer label, "Big Hurt Beer" and was doing an appearance. He was really great, and funny. I hope Thomas is a first ballot HOFer next year.

[71] I very much want to try a Big Hurt Beer.

[72] Corny, clear, not great but drinkable. The Big Hurt was proud that it had 5% alcohol but only 110 calories. I had to buy some in support.

Huff verses Happ. This could have been the first time that opposing pitchers had one syllable four letter names beginning with H and ending with a double consonant.

[73] Label? Pic of him crushing a beer mug?
[74] Sounds like one for Dianagram!

I think if I drink two, I will have a big hurt in the morning.
