Heh, nice.

Hughes, time to sack up.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Hats for Friday's game. Sox are wearing blank hats.

Very surprised the Yankees agreed to wear throwbacks for another organizations celebration.

The Cubs did it for a game with the Sox last season: http://www.boston.co...hrowback_night/

It would look pretty stupid if only one team wore the throwbacks tomorrow.

[jon abbey]

I would rather see Nunez in LF and Ibanez DHing with this lineup:

YANKEES (6-6)
Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Robinson Cano DH
Mark Teixeira 1B
Nick Swisher RF
Raul Ibanez LF
Russell Martin C
Eduardo Nunez 2B
RHP Phil Hughes (0-2, 9.00)

TWINS (4-8)

Denard Span CF
Jamey Carroll SS
Joe Mauer C
Josh Willingham LF
Justin Morneau DH
Ryan Doumit RF
Danny Valencia 3B
Chris Parmalee 1B
Alexi Casilla 2B

RHP Anthony Swarzak (0-2, 3.75)

Wow. Yeah, me too.

[FenwayFrenzy]

How the hell does the YES network not have an Amica/Pitch Track graphic yet?

[Saby]

Nunez is really versatile. He can make errors at 3/4 different positions.

[Sprowl]

Morneau walks, then Doumit gets lucky with a shift-beater.

[Sprowl]

Ibañez is no Brett Gardner.

[Saby]

Ibanez having to do some early work. I don't know if Doumit got lucky, he might have pulled his hands in and fought it the other way.

[ThePrideofShiner]

So, when is this ridiculous experiment of having Nunez play in the field going to stop? How many errors must he make?

Oh, and Pineda needs to hurry up so I don't have to watch Hughes pitch anymore.

[jon abbey]

It's very hospitable of NY to spot MIN a 4 run lead every night.

[InsideTheParker]

MLBN thinks I want to watch this game and has blacked out Texas at Detroit as if it were a REd Sox game. What the hell?

[TheYellowDart5]

Already in the process of giving the lead back. Try harder, Twins. Try harder.

[MakMan44]

That picture of Morneau makes look like one of those guys from Glee

EDIT: This guy to be exact

Trying, trying...

For once this season, Hughes won't be the worst starting pitcher on the mound.

[TheYellowDart5]

The suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Is Phil Hughes a supergenius or something? I'm still trying to unravel Joe Buck's comment from last Saturday.

[MakMan44]

When was the last time the Twins pitched a shutout against the Yankees?

[rembrat]

When was the last time the Twins pitched a shutout against the Yankees?

Never?

[jon abbey]

Nunez making up for that error a bit.

Jeter is killing it.

[Sampo Gida]

Jeter hitting as well as Napoli.

[jon abbey]

I love Curtis Granderson quite a bit.

[Sampo Gida]

So much for hoping Granderson regresses this year.

[soxhop411]

Does the twins pitching stink or is it my imagination?

[rembrat]

John Sterling can not be married. There is just no way someone puts up with this everyday.

[TheYellowDart5]

We'll always have the top of the first.

[terrynever]

John Sterling can not be married. There is just no way someone puts up with this everyday.

He got married at age 48 in 1996, his suffering wife delivered four children, including triplets. They got divorced in 2008. So you're right.

She deserves a medal.

[jon abbey]

I'm still kind of laughing about someone saying in the Peter Abraham thread that maybe he took off a few days to spend time with his kids. If that guy is married, I will be stunned.

Could be a Family thing, I know if I was a Beat writer I would not say why I'm going away. But I get your point

He said many times on his LoHud blog that he spends time with his sister's kids in Attleboro, Mass. The sad truth is a lot of people who cover major league baseball don't have great social lives. Many of them marry late, or get divorced early. Spring training is the only time the wives/girl friends have any fun.

[soxhop411]

Wow he didn't even last 5

As I read that my exact reaction was



If you are reading this, Pete, and I'm sure you are, sorry bro.

[jon abbey]

Very nice job by Hughes to strand Parmelee.

[rembrat]

Please, Granderson, don't go deep. I can't handle another HR call from Sterling.

[soxhop411]

WOW

[rembrat]

God damn it.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Man, he's got at least two more at bats to tie the record.

[terrynever]

I'm sensing another MVP season for the Rembrat.

[SemperFidelisSox]

This ballpark.

[soxhop411]

This ballpark.

How many of those would be outs in other stadiums?

[TheYellowDart5]

I really hope Kevin Long got a raise or a car or a nice watch or something, because holy shit, aside from Jose Bautista, has any hitter had a more dramatic turnaround in the last five years?

[jon abbey]

This ballpark.

First 3 HR game here.

[TheYellowDart5]

Hughes' changeup is so awful that I wonder why he still throws it.

Also, pretty sure Leiter just drew an ejaculating penis with the telestrator.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Why didn't Joe pull Hughes after he walked Morneau?

[Sampo Gida]

The last one was probably a double in most parks. The other 2 were HR in most parks I think.

[Sampo Gida]

Logan might not have been warmed up yet.
