CENSORED CENSORED Quote of the Day

Another comedic homerun by the Hero of Hudson Valley...

"Joba Chamberlain also needs to pitch. One good start by Hughes in April should not start the “We need Joba in the bullpen” nonsense. Who knew that Tyler Kepner was such a rabble-rouser?"

And that wasn't it, as the Lord of Lohud also pulled out of his arsenal:

"The Yankees lost four in a row and the fans wanted everybody fired. Then Phil Hughes pitched six shutout innings and now everybody wants to know what will happen when Chien-Ming Wang comes back.

Oh, heavens, they’ll have too many good pitchers.

What a dilemma.

Here’s a wild thought: Sit back and watch the game tonight and stop worrying about it.

Hughes pitched one game. Let’s wait a few starts before deciding that his being good is such a problem. Meanwhile, Chien-Ming Wang will throw 40 pitches to 17-year-old kids on Saturday. He’s not exactly racing up the interstate to the Bronx."

But for the sake of internet traffic (and my e-mail in-box), let’s say that Wang comes back in early June and Hughes is 4-1, 2.85. What then?"

He raises a very good point. What about when Kei 'Hee-Hee' Igawa is ready to come up, along with Ian Kennedy? Then Brackman and Betances? Suddenly its a 10-man rotation!

I say trade Wang and Burnett for Andruw Jones. Get him now while the gettin' be good!
