It's a little over an hour 'til first pitch. A couple of things to keep an eye on as we watch the game:
  1. Phil Hughes' third pitch - How many change-ups will we see? I think there's a direct correlation between his success and his ability/willingness to use the change, especially against lefties.
  2. A-Rod's ankle - Adrian Beltre fell on A-Rod's ankle yesterday, and it didn't look pretty. He stayed in the game to score a run, but was lifted for a defensive replacement later on. The word on the street today is that he may need an M.R.I., but he's expected to start tonight. I don't need to tell you what his absence would mean to the lineup.
  3. First base - Now we have an imperfect trifecta at first. Betemit (decent glove, can't hit lefties); Doug (great glove, can't hit anyone); and Giambi (decent bat, little-to-no glove). Let's see who gets the start tonight.

The umps have now blown two calls, both of them resulting in Ichiro being out when he was quite obviously safe. Lame.

They've also blown about 4 pitches for Hughes, it all evens out.

and lets not forget....


in the first half when jorge threw whats his name out by a clear 5 whole flippin feet and he was "safe" lol.

Good call Prez.

A-Rod crushed that ball.

The "first half" of what? The season? That means nothing in this game.

It was a bad call that cost the Yanks a game, against the Mariners. It happens, and like I said, they tend to even themselves out. It's relevant.
