Is you ascared to watch Phil Hughes pitch tonight?
I am.
The Yanks’ll need runs–and lots of them. Hughes must for to deliver a strong performance.
We want to cheer, dammit (looks like Tex will be back tomorrow and Nova might return on Sunday).

Or some such thing. What do I know from cards? All I know is that C.C. Sabathia goes against James Shields today and every day is a must-win for the Yanks–and the Rays for that matter. Game is in Tampa, where the Yanks are 2 for their last 10.
Alex is back.

Yanks lose today, their lead in the American League East shrinks to two and we’re back to bitching. They win, the lead is four and we can digest.
And so it goes in September.

I’ll take the heat for last night’s loss. With the Yankees up 6-4 with two out in the ninth, I called out to The Wife, “Come in here, Soriano’s about to untuck his shirt.” I knew I was tempting fate but I said it anyway. Two hanging sliders later the Yanks were down 7-6, and even though Derek Jeter homered in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, I knew I’d jinxed it.
That’s the power of the fan, don’t you know? We control these things, not the players. So don’t blame Soriano for a lousy night–he was unfairly booed when he walked off the mound–or Derek Lowe, whose throwing error helped the Jays scored the winning run. I’m a team player. I’ll take the hit. I don’t do that again.
To make matters worse, Mark Teixeira left the game with a grade 1 calf strain. He’s gone for a week, maybe two. Chad Jennings has the low lights.
The Yankees once had a comfortable lead. But they’ve sputtered the last month and now the Orioles are 3.5 games back, with the Rays right close, too.
Looks like we’re in for a tense September.
The Yanks are back home. Made a minor move today. It’s the Blue Jays this week, the Orioles this weekend.
Tonight gives Phelps vs. Alvarez.

Yanks aim to not suck this afternoon in Cleveland.
We believe this can be achieved.
So, never mind the sermon: Let’s Go Yank-ees!
It’s our man Hiroki in Cleveland tonight. Chance for the Yanks to take advantage of a Rays loss. Justin Masterson is no slouch though.

Yanks look to get their head out of their asses tonight in Cleveland.
It’s the return of the Big Fella. No panic here. But if the Yanks lose a couple this weekend, there will be cursing-a-plenty round these parts.

The Rays and O’s they keep creepin’. Yanks have lost two in Chicago and face the White Sox best pitcher tonight.
He’ll face Phil Now-You-See-Me-Now-You-Don’t Hughes.

Due to a lapse in judgement by my dumb ass the site was out-of-service for a good portion of the day. I apologize. However, we’re back and what did we miss? The Rocket Rides Again; Michael Pineda picked-up for drunk driving.
Hell, at least Tex is back.

The overnight rain cooled things off in New York. The sun is out and it is a lovely afternoon.
Here is worrisome bit of news, however, about Mark Teixeira, brought to us by Brian Heyman over at the Lo-Hud Yankee blog:
“He’s a little bit better today,” Girardi said. “He’s not a player for me today. I wouldn’t imagine so. We’ll see in the next couple of days if we can get him back.”
Girardi is wondering, though.
“Yeah, I’m a little bit concerned if it’s going to get to 100 percent,” Girardi said. “He was better after the few days off a couple of weeks ago. And it seemed to come back a little bit. That raises a little bit of a red flag. You do what you can. Tex is good at playing beat up. He’s used to it in his career. We’ll try to get him back as soon as we can.”

Can you remember the last time a Yankee-Red Sox series felt this dull this late in the season?
That doesn’t mean we don’t want the Yanks to win the series of course, or that watching these games won’t angry up the blood some. But it ain’t Must-See-TV, that’s for sure.
It’s Hughes tonight, weather permitting. Supposed to rain all weekend.
