Is it possible to look like a bigger douche than Josh Beckett? Yes, I give you Phil Hughes.

I've always disliked him ever since he was being overhyped a few years back when he was a prospect. Now he's an above average ML pitcher but he nowhere is near what I was hearing hyped about him. Benefits of being a Yankee prospect I suppose.

Any chance we can start having two threads for each game. One for those of us who can control our negativity, and one for all the pessimistic lunatics?

The problem is 1) 14 years of losing creates pessimism (especially after the 05 fiasco) and 2) some of us looked at an injured Yankees team and fully expected to go into New York take the Yankees lunch money, shove 'em in a locker and go on our way. They didn't roll over and now everyone is disappointed.

    • Paul Sewald suffered a grade 2 oblique strain late in spring training, but he deserves the extra rest after last October. If he looks himself when he gets back and ARZ does indeed fall out, that's another top tier name.
    • What is odd is if you watch this video from 5 months ago in a home run derby against his brother and dad, he barely lifted his leg at all.   And he was jacking them....granted it was against a pitching machine. I wonder what made up change before this season?   youtube  
    • I think the truth, as is with most things, is somewhere in the middle.   He doesn't need to "overhaul" anything.  He's also got to work on a few things. Now, what those few things are, none of us know right now.  Ben McDonald makes one comment about his leg kick and everyone here seems to have taken it as gospel.   I'm sure we'll learn after he comes back up and plays well.  But the rampant speculation about the leg kick being the thing that held him back in the majors is silly.  It might be true in the end, but right now some of you guys would believe that Mark Teixiera was at a Ravens game.
    • Kjerstad and Norby for Mason Miller? 
    • The point I was trying to make is I don’t believe anyone here can say with any certainty that Mayo would have more immediate success than Holliday did based on watching him a few games in AAA.  Yes he has had more success in AAA with a much longer track record offensively.  When they decided to bring Holliday up I am guessing they thought overall offensively and defensively he was more ready to help.  There will be more outcry here when Austin Hayes gets back and gets plenty of starts.  As long as they keep winning I just can’t argue much with their roster decisions.  
    • D. R. is our owner now and I'm enjoying the first chapter. Quite a different novel. Who knows what the next chapters will be? My read will continue with the hope he always allows the professionals to run the organization. I'm betting he will allow for a more competative payroll. It will disappoint me if he doesn't. How that translates into extensions and/or free agents - we can only wish and hope. There are too many variables in that market for guarentees. But to be blunt, I will not judge D.R. solely on money spent because how the organization is run is more important to me. 
    • We have the advantage at SS, I think. Last 7 days Gunnar is crushing it to a .537 OPS and Abrams a paltry .530 OPS.
