In the words of Peter Griffin, “That kill me? Yeah, I was afraid of that.” Instead of a discount surgeon this time, however, it was vacation.
But I’m back now. And badder than before. Hope all you guys are getting this via a feed rather than regular visits.
Anyway, ahl has requested a remaining schedule analysis. [...]

What a difference a week makes.
Had we entered the break mired in second place, I would have made some statements to the effect that the standings at the All Star [...]
It’s been a bad weak. Until the two Yankee wins, in fact, I was borderline despondent. And why not? A week ago today, Brian Moehler started against Josh Beckett, and we lost that game. Then Shields went out and beat Masterson, which could have been expected. Next Garza beat Wakefield, which was at least understandable. [...]
Yeah, yeah, I missed a week - that’s what happens when you hit Fenway. Anyway, more importantly the first half came to a close. About a week earlier than normal, in fact. The good news is that we ended the first half, as we did last year, in first place. The bad news is [...]

Manny hit his 500th. In a Red Sox uniform. Which given that he was placed on unconditional waivers just a few years back, probably qualifies as mildly surprising. Kudos to Manny for this achievement, it’s a real benchmark.
One that, frankly, makes me appreciate just [...]

You might remember how I’ve speculated - as long as Colon remains effective - about the possibility of Buchholz coming out of the bullpen. The thinking being that a.) [...]

We got swept. By the A’s. It sucked. I don’t know about you, but I liked it better when we were sweeping folks, rather than getting swept.

If you’re craving reassurance with respect to the rough outings today from first Buchholz and then Hansen, well, you shouldn’t.
Repeat after me: it’s. their. first. outing. Against the pros, anyway.

So I walked two miles through the freezing, blowing snow for a thin meal of gruel to bring you today’s entry. That, or I walked a hundred yards for Eggs Mazatlan.
At least the snow was real. Promise.

Yankees phenom Phil Hughes had an interesting year last year, beginning the ‘07 season as the near unanimous top minor league pitching prospect and finishing it with a very respectable 4.46 / .235 BAA line in 72.2 innings, during which he K’d 58 against 28 free passes. All in all, despite some injury setbacks, you’d [...]
