All Things Bubba

The Bats get a day off today. They play Syracuse tomorrow.

And it seems I'm not the only one who was hoping to see Bubba in the Syracuse series. Yesterday the Bats radio announcers read an e-mail from someone in NY who wondered if Bubba would be playing this weekend. (Answer: he's eligible to come off the DL, but that doesn't mean he will.)

The auction is over. Bubba's hat went for $160.00.

The Reds had a day game today. They lost. Sigh.

And Phil Hughes gets his first big league start tonight for the Yankees. I'm not sure what to expect. He's very talented, but has struggled in high-pressure situations before. He is still very young.
