I have no problem admitting that I enjoyed watching Yu Darvish pitch last night. Yankee batters were off balance all game long, chasing 96 mph — sometimes wild — fastballs only to be flummoxed by Bugs Bunny 78 curves, rendering a fine start by Kuroda for naught. The Captain and Cano (nice ring, that.. sounds like a light-hearted crime drama) each doubled and singled but Yu ruled the night.
Phil Hughes has been decidedly mediocre and received a gift win his last start against the Twins. I suppose the highlight of his outing was he lasted for 103 pitches. Scott Feldman gets the rock for the Rangers.
Comment away.

Pineda out for the rest of the season… ouch. That’s an awful blow, I thought the trade was a fantastic one at the beginning of the season.
Wait, did you say anterior? Hughes gets one more shot, but I’m thinking that Andy Pettitte better saddle up his white horse might soon.
As long as it wasn’t posterior. The Yankees have had enough of that ligament, thank you Carl.
Hughes.
I have no faith.
Pineda.
Vomit.
Figures.
Krueg-Ku.
Still trying to work out the break from the “traditional” form, but it works for me for sure.
Yu.
He kicked our ass.
Seattle.
Pay day.
Checkmate.
I’ll trade you my Ford Pinata for your Mitsubishi Montero.
10-8.
Blah.
I guess as long as we hover above .500 for the next month or so, everything will work out?
I mean, the team overall has been pretty abysmal but still 10-8.
I don’t know. It doesn’t feel like this team has it. Again.
At least they didn’t sign Pujols.
We already have several Pujol’s…
