Matt39 43,181 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Tough position for Hughes to be in. The Sawx plus the rain. He did have a fabulous first start in Detroit, but at 49 pitches through 2 innings this could be a long night for the Yanks shaky pen. Its the same for Lester. Hughes is a vag.

Morrissey 13,898 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Phil Hughes should take notes on how a real young pitcher looks. You mean the pitcher who entered the game with a 5.40 earned run average? Edited May 5, 2009 by Tyler Durden Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guido Monzino 10,967 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 You mean the pitcher who entered the game with a 5.40 earned run average?

Lets see here: Phil Hughes 2007: 5-3, 4.46 ERA 2008: 0-4, 6.62 ERA 2009: 1-1 (The L is coming), ??? ERA Jon Lester 2006: 7-2, 4.76 ERA 2007: 4-0, 4.57 ERA 2008: 16-6, 3.21 ERA 2009: 2-2 (The W is coming), ??? ERA Only one more season than Hughes, and he had to battle cancer. Yankee fans who back this joke need to jump off the nearest bridge. He is a disgrace to our team. And to think we could've had Johan Santana. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm...well the standings say they're one game apart, so I'm gonna go with that rather than your constant bitching, moaning and overreacting. Do you ever come here when the Yankees are WINNING? The fact is the Yankees are one game behind your beloved Sawx on May 4 with their best player yet to play, their best pitcher yet to pitch like their best pitcher, and Wang giving away three games.

Blame this game for the people who even got it started over TWO HOURS after it was supposed to. A lot of factors played into Hughes outing, I wouldn't blame the start time as one of them. Lester is throwing perfectly fine. A combination of a lack of control, horribly inconsistent strike zone, and cheap garbage hits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vicious89x 121,413 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Lester is killing us tonight. He's always performed well against the yankees. He's a great prospect and so far has shown more the Hughes, sorry TD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to explain it to you if you can't see it. Example 1: A-Rod is being roasted and toasted in the media and only Girardi has said anything. Papi is being called out for having a horrible season hitting the ball, but you can read many of teammates sticking up for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
