    Right now, it's still relatively close in the division. Baltimore is only 10.5 games out of first place. If they and Toronto heat up and start winning, should be a really exciting summer.

    I hear you. And here's to hoping he doesn't come back until mid next week so I can see 3,000 on Sunday the 10th.
    I think today is the day he's off the DL, but I hear they're gonna have him do a couple rehab stints to get loose again. The pre-game show yesterday, I think Jack Curry said he probably won't be available for the Subway Series this weekend.

    Yeah, I don't see him being ready for this weekend. He ran the bases for the first time yesterday and took some ground balls and BP. Would be pretty sweet if it was middle-late next week. I would love to see him hit 3,000 in person.
    That would be really awesome to witness him be the first Yankee to do it. He might be ready for the series after the Mets.

    Yeah, man. Would be great. I am going to be so hungover that day since the night before is my girls 30th birthday part but if he has a shot at 3,000 that day, I will sure as hell be there. I'll take the series after the Mets and hopefully he gets off to a slow start.

    gonna be a tight summer

    this is what a real division looks like....unlike the nl east ....with 1 good team

    Atlanta Braves: 46-35, .568, 5th best record in baseball behind Phillies, Yanks, Sox, Giants. I would say 2 good teams. And the Braves are putting a beating on the AL lately.

    Edit: they are 7-4 vs. AL.

    Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story though.

    Looks like 5 Yankees will be starting in the All Star game and the overall turnout could be pretty outrageous.

    Starters:
    Martin, Cano, Jeter, Arod, Granderson.

    I would also imagine that Mo, CC and Tex will be there.

    The Braves are a pretty good team, but you really can't try and compare the AL East to the NL East, can you?

    I figured Granderson would be a no brainer with the way he's been playing this season.

    Hughes looked pretty damn good that last inning. Read he has hit 94 on the gun too. The kids in the 3rd didn't have a chance though.

    yeah, I saw 94. I only saw half an inning so far but it was impressive, ground out, fly out, 3 pitch strikeout.

    Just saying that there are 2 good teams in the NL East - as opposed to the one that Neily said. He's just wrong, as usual. Obviously 3 very strong teams make the AL East a tougher division than the NL East, or any other division. We're on the same page Cliffy.

    As for the Braves being good because they're in the AL, their winning pct vs. the AL is better than vs. the NL. Just the facts is all. And yes, they still do have Dan Uggla on their team. :lol:

    Is Uggla really hitting .177? I didn't realize it was that bad.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,841
    First hit off Hughes. Just a single.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,841
    And Romine gunned him down. Kind of cool this is available today.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,841
    Another quick inning, nasty curve to end it. Faced the minimum so far.

    He's historically bad this year. I think he might have a HR off Halladay too, somehow. (maybe Lee, I don't know)

    Love the play-by-play on Phil Hughes rehab start - you guys are as obsessed as us. :lol:

    Yeah, man. That is insanely bad. Now, that's a bad contract.

    haha, yeah, it's pretty sweet it's available online. He's looking pretty good so far today.

    They are a really good organization that is somewhat budget-oriented. So I don't know where that came from. Didn't they see him hit .070 off Jaime Moyer for 5 years?

    Hughes in a little bit of trouble here. Got 2 quick outs, one hit hard and a really nice catch, then gave up a hit and a walk.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,841
    Got out of it with another good curve and a good fastball.

    6 innings, 0 runs, 2 hits (I believe) and 1 walk. Struck out Anthony Gose (part of the Roy Halladay deal) with a fastball to end the 6th. Would imagine that is probably it for him but that was all types of encouraging. Kind of nice to see swings and misses even if its just in double a.

    5 yrs, $62M. He's clearly a better offensive player than what he's shown so far this year, but not that good.

    Hughes came back in. 6.1 innings. 3 hits, 2 walks. Got into a little bit of trouble in the 7th. Gave up a hit that should have been caught then walked a guy. Good news though.

    Final Line: 6.1 innings, 1 run, 3 hits, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts

    Colon may be ready to go this weekend and they may not have hughes make another rehab start after today. Jeter sounds like he will be back next week
