The Riveraves say Phil fanned 12 simulations. That's very, very, very impressive.
I too played a simulated game yesterday. I hesitate to toot my own horn, because it's not my style, but oh, hell, since we're celebrating Phil Hughes' great simulated achievement, I should report mine.
I pitched a two-hitter against a team of simulated Immortals. Frankie Frisch singled off me in the sixth, and Ty Cobb legged out an infield hit in the 9th. I struck out 15 and walked two -- Atilla the Hun and Amelia Earhart -- mostly because it was umpire Joe West behind the plate, and he knows I still blame him for screwing us in 2005 on those pitches by Mike Mussina to the Angels' Steve Finley -- (WHO EVERYBODY KNOWS STRUCK OUT, BUT WEST DIDN'T CALL IT. Next batter hits the fly to Crosby/Sheffield in right-center -- Kaboom --we lose not only the Divisional Series but, I have no doubt, a World Championship.) Or at least a simulated champsionship.
Anyway, it's exciting to know that Phil Hughes pitched very, very, very -- oh, hell, let's not hold back our simulated praise -- very, very, very well in his big simulation game! Right now, that makes him a leading contender for the 2010 Cy Young Simulated Award.

read the first answer. F BOSTON.
Post of the year! Simulated or not.
I was so impressed with Young Master Hughes that I made him a Knight Of The Round Table in my simulated kingdom. IIH must now refer to him as Sir Phillip.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make love -- again -- to my simulated girlfriend, Alyssa Milano. The nutty broad can't get enough of me!
