The Yankees' playoff rotation is looking kind of rocky. CC Sabathia was not very good yesterday. It looked like the Yanks were going to lose - so much so that many fans turned off the TV and went to bed. They would regret it; the Yanks staged a miraculous comeback against the Texas pen.
Tonight, Phil Hughes, who looked so good his last time out, only lasted 4 innings before getting the hook. He gave up 10 hits, 3 walks, 7 earned runs, and a home run.
Andy Pettitte is up next, against Cliff Lee. Weirdly, I'm sort of optimistic about that game. I trust Andy in the post-season more than any other starting pitcher. Yes, even against Cliff Lee.
On another topic...someone sent me this link. It's got some Andy Phillips news from Japan, in English. Apparently, the reason he played so little and spent so much time in the minors is that he was injured. It says he suffered injuries to his left flank and knee.
