The Yankees management and fans should feel very happy tonight. The future is now as Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain combined to throw eight innings, allowing just one run. Hughes pitched the first six, striking out six and walking one while allowing the only run by Cleveland on a Barfield homer. Joba relieved Phil to start the seventh, and retired all six batters he faced, striking out four. He did that with great efficiency, using only 21 pitches, less than four per batter. It was nice to see him go two, rather than just the knee jerk one inning per reliever. Both looked very comfortable on the mound, both throw free and easy. New York upgraded their pitching staff without a trade.

Positively giddy!
What if we had traded Ian Kennedy for... Erig Gagne??? Ugh, I shudder to think of it.
What's that shaking I hear? Boston fans knees knocking together!!
That shaking you hear is Boston fans laughing at the pathetic Skanks, and their pathetic fans thinking that these two nitwits are really going to make a difference. You could put any AAA pitcher in a game and he would have virtually the same effect the first time around. These guys will not survive the pennant drive. Once the book is out on them, and it will be a thin book at that, they will be like the rest of the Skanks pitching staff...toast. Skanks are going nowhere this year. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Wow!
Andy, that's the first wave. The dregs of RSN are quaking, the real knuckle-scrapers.
If the Yankees can close another game this weekend, I think we'll see the rest of the Sox fans show some symptoms, too.
