CrazyCarl40 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 So Phil Hughes has been hurt since June of last year all the way up until yesterday? That doesn't say much for the Yankees trainers and team doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 how's Bucholz? Buchholz has a legitimate injury and is on the DL and was trying to pitch through it. He'll either be back at the end of this year, or the beginning of next season. And comparing the two is ridiculous because, well, just look at the numbers.

Hughes' Injury = fake. I didn't even have to use the search feature to see your rabid homerism HAHA. You have so little self awareness it's actually interesting.

Blackout Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 you said someone else has a legit injury meaning you think Phil Hughes is faking his injury because if you didn't feel that way you would've shut the hell up. not even worth your rebuttal son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Hughes' injury? I never saw an article confirming anything more than a tired arm. Not really an injury. If he had damage there that would make sense but he didn't.

Hughes was examined in St. Louis by Dr. Robert William Thompson, one of the leading specialists in thoracic outlet syndrome. Results on last week's initial tests showed a low-level risk for TOS, a condition that would likely have required season-ending surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 You Red Sox fans are hysterical. Hughes went from 93 to 84 or so. You don't think he was hurt? What happened? Even if it was dead arm I would classify that as an injury for a pitcher. He just forgot how to throw the ball hard? LOL. I can't wait to see Hughes celebrating after another Yankees WS championship this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just isn't all he is cracked up to be. Can the Yankees win it all this year? Absolutely. They are in 1st place, have the best record in the AL and are just getting ARod back which is going to solidify that lineup. Colon becomes a huge postseason key for them because AJ just can't be counted on. What is wrong with Hughes? He had a dead arm or some other ailment that had his fastball in the 80's. Now that his fastball is in the 90's his last few starts have been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmikeisback Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 You honestly think this Yankees team is good enough to win it all? Of course not. They are playing in an era that is clearly dominated by the greatest team in the history of organized sports, not only baseball. I actually recommend that the Yankees take off the next 7-8 years because thats the stretch of dominance that we're looking at here. I'm not sure why the yankees even try to compete with such a unstoppable force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't let them down yet though. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Anything can happen in a short series.... Very true. I still think the Phillies are going to be tough to beat. Tigers are coming on strong too if they can get some pitching behind Verlander. Texas won't be an easy out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't let them down yet though. We'll see. It isn't a guarantee by any stretch. But since they have survived the injury bug I believe they have put the focus on playing good baseball (stealing bases). With ARod coming back, I hope they remember that, their love for the home run scares me in the post season against better pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 How do you feel now vs. 2009? I feel a little bit better now actually. CC has been so strong this year...you lose a little in Mo possibly but the rest of the Yankees pen is so solid. A lot of the players are the same but you add in the Grandy Man. And whenever Burnett is in your rotation you realize that anything can happen good or bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need him since the wheels are falling off Bartolo, AJ is terrible, and CC hasn't been good and can't beat the Sox this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
