Hughes showed us once again that he's better that Clemens at this point, to the degree that he's probably just inherited his spot in the rotation if the Yankees can somehow take this series.

That makes even me a little sad.

Your timestamp is way off - I posted this before I left work on Wednesday afternoon, WELL ahead of the start of the game. It would appear that way, wouldn’t it?

Nick calls me out! Yes, it's true---I admit it, I am kind of a morning person! But now it's my turn to point out that your idea of a morning person is anyone who gets up before noon. :) I just really love the image I have in my head of Robinson Cano, about to tag out the slow-footed Varitek at second, and then--WHAM! Junior Seau comes out of nowhere, slams into him, and does his celebratory little chest-pound/leg-kick move. Or Asante Samuel grabbing Lugo's latest weak grounder to short, stiff-arming A-Rod, and bringing the ball all the way out to the warning track. And then they just go back and sit in the dugout, or whatever.
