Mike Mussina came in this morning and asked Phil Hughes who pitched for the Pirates last night.
“Some old guy,” Phil Hughes said.
Mussina than found out it was Matt Morris, who is 33.
“That’s old?” the 39-year-old Mussina said. “What am I?”

Ross,

Pete wasn’t the only reporter to post the Hughes-Mussina exchange. Dan Graziano posted it on the Star Ledger blog too.

And no, I don’t think anything will ever come of it

do you really think Morris would drill Hughes for what he said? that doesn’t seem realistic to me.

Thank god Morris doesnt play for the rays. If he did, we would have to worry. Because Rays have a new Tough identity and its intimidating.

mel,
Why not sign Colon to be our batting practice pitcher? Absolutely. Our team would never get into slumps. Especially Arod. If not Colon then Kim. I would make them the highest paid in their fields. Well worth it.

Thanks for the link. Im having problems with my media. Oh well. My teams are losing anyways. I had my 4 year old fill one out and he might end up beating me. Now thats sad.

“Isn’t there a very good chance that Phil will have to step into the batter’s box against Morris this year?”

SoS,

If he’s not on the Sox roster by May, he becomes a free agent. What are the chances that…? You don’t think that Cash would…? Nah. No way. Never.

“so the red sox sent bartolo colon over to the minor league camp today…i guess they weren’t too impressed with what they saw the other day either.”

didn’t the rest of the team fly to Japan? doesn’t it make sense for Colon to stay behind so he can pitch in minor league games?

I don’t like the NY media. Did you introduce yourself to me, Peter? No reporter did.

Isn’t Matt Morris going to read about this and be a bit angry with Phil?

Don’t the Yankees play on the road, at Pittsburgh this year?

Isn’t there a very good chance that Phil will have to step into the batter’s box against Morris this year?

Is it really the place of a beat writer to share this conversation from the locker room?

Obviously, Phil didn’t have to say that in Pete’s presence, but it seems that at this point Phil trusts Pete. I’m not sure if putting this quote on the blog in the sake of humor was such a good idea.

Someone tell me if I am crazy. We may think it is funny, but Matt Morris may take it personal. It is a bit disrespectful, even if Matt Morris sucks.

This is where blogging gets a bit dangerous.
