Phil Hughes put the Yankees in a position to win. Robinson Cano removed all doubt. After Hughes pitched seven strong innings — including five straight strikeouts to start the game — Cano put it out of reach with the third grand slam of his career. The Yankees lineup hadn’t scored more than four runs in six games, but they doubled that number tonight with a convincing 8-2 win against the Indians.

Swish getting hit after Cano’s curtain call was riduiculous.
He breaks the game open, why not tip his hat?
So what if it’s 8-2, it was 4-2 a minute ago.
grandy was dandy too.

I think everyone on this blog can agree on that. There is nothing worse than an animal abuser! How anyone can hurt such innocent little things is beyond my comprehension.
My 2 big puppies were abused when I got them several years ago. My chihuahua (while not confirmed) I believe was abused as well.
There is no greater joy in life than to take an abused animal and give he/she a great home that they can learn to love life in.
Moeller did a nice job this evening. Seems like the right choice to bring him up and bridge the gap until Jorge returns.
One of my kitties was abandoned by the side of a busy highway near my vet’s office. Terrible. Luckily they saw him and brought him inside or he probably would have been hit by a car.
Curtis has come back
Young Master Philip throws gem
Home sweet Yankee home
There is nothing worse than an animal abuser!
==============================
This blog was worse tonight.
Arod needs to bat 3rd, Cano 4th and Tex 5th. Tex is killing the offense.
Keeping Russo was also a good move.
Now they have 2 utility IFers, to caddy for Jete and Arod in blowouts like tonight.
Plus he plays the OF.
Kudos.
1 down
6 to go
no joke
good Haiku Nick
what is all this boycott talk about? imposters???
Jose Contreras is closing a 3-2 game for Philly
and some people think the Yanks have bullpen problems
Red Sox lose, Rays lose, Yanks win. A great baseball night!
checkout todays threads unc, around when lineup was posted
CR9 -
I found my second cat (Suey) literally on my front door step. Heard him crying, opened the door and there he was. Probably about 2 months old.
Don’t know where he came from but very happy that he ended up on my front step.

Thank God. They probably saved his life, you’re right!
Enough pussee talk.
whoever
That’s a sweet story! Glad she was brought into your life!
Cano batting .426 in last 11 games
DFA Cano!
Cano doesn’t walk enough to be a great number 3 hitter. He doesn’t hit enough homers to be the cleanup hitter. He is perfect in the number 5 spot protecting A-Rod.
Russo is a nice addition to this team; his versatility gives Girardi options.
Goes in late, plays third, to give Jeter a breather and tomorrow more than likely playing left field giving Gardner a deserved break.
Good move by the team in keeping him up here.
Hughes’s FB had good late life, particularly early on, he was commanding his cutter well, and he threw his curve more with mixed results, but I would really like to see him throw the change more because it would be a great weapon against LH power hitters.
Cano can hit anywhere now. He’s having a monster season. Phil lost his curveball for an inning or so but he battled. He might think about starting more guys off with the curve as the game goes on, when he’s got it.
Poor Mets
another all-star performance for Hughes.
6-1 2.07 ERA .201 BAA 1.06 WHIP
Mo-like #s.
*2.70 ERA for Phil
Those able to watch the game saw a catch by Trevor Crowe (CF) that should be in the top five defensive plays of the year. Great catch and he is not a Yankee, so it could be.
btw, Teix’s defense was beyond stellar.
admit tho, the pitching has been lights out for NYM
Tex really did shine in the field. His two walks were good, too.
“btw, Teix’s defense was beyond stellar.”

Totally agree Rich, it seems we are a bit spoiled with him and just sort of expect it.
Plug Giambi in there tonight and we could of lost 9 – 8.
hey! easy on the Giambino! lol
Looking forward to seeing CC get back on track tomorrow.
Sure, Tex can play better defense than the Giambino. But can he rock a golden thong??
Russo was clearly the right choice to keep up, Winn was finished last year, I’ve got no idea what Cashman was doing signing him his numbers last year were awful and his right handed hitting was the worst in the majors. I didn’t get it then, I didn’t think he’d be any good, and I predicted when Grandy came back he’d be dfa’d. Great fa signing, he didn’t get hurt and didn’t make it to Memorial Day.
winn gone, and the whole vibe in yankee land is different.
for a day..
Muts lost!
All Muts fans are losers.
Cano maturing right in front of us.
Wakefield knocked out in 3.2 innings 9HR all earned, they burned through 5 reliever. Greinke is tomorrow.

But he might hit 2 homers, unlike Tex got nothing offensively.
Grienke is going to lay down for the Sox and then pitch like an Ace when he faces the Yanks. That’s just the way other teams and players lay down for the Sox.
/CR9′d
Best of both worlds – Tex playing first and Gambi our DH.
Offense coming back to life. A couple bombs. Tex with a hit & taking 2 walks is a good sign he is turing it around. Hughes with another gem.
Good stuff.
We are in for a great homestand.

Well, I’ve never said that. Why would I even watch their games if I thought they’d never lose? Thanks for attributing thoughts and words to me that I’ve never thought or said!!
Nite ray!!
GM Brian Cashman sounded at least a silent alarm before the game, calling the Yanks “a team you want to play against right now” because of their recent offensive deficiencies.
C-Money
Sounds like I missed quite a game.
The legend of the inverse relationship between line up complaints and runs scored lives on!
Great news on Posada
Nice to have grandy instead of useless winn
I missed the Posada news. What happened?

YAY! That is good news
Erica. Diarrhea. Flush
Is this an attempt at humour? If so you fail miserably. Even though we may not know who you are, you have to know what we (99% of the posters on this board) think of you. You are exhibiting the intelligence of a slug. Have some self dignity and grow-up. Or go be a loser somewhere else.
If you really want a laugh HARD go to http://www.bostondirtdogs.com scroll to the #4 thread with Ortiz.

Post game notes
Positives: Hughes surprise of the year, Cano MVP candidate, Granderson back changes the lineup, Tex still GG defense due for batting correction, JETER looking more like JETER again, Swisher quietly putting together an excellent season, Brett Gardner still flirting with a breakout season.
Oh- Cano should bat 4 !!!!!
He did such a great job this night.
He carried the team this year…..move him to 4.
