No THUH today... but John was on fire anyway

John's takeaway points from the game

1. Major leaguers understand that you lose games. That's the way it is. The media, on the other hand, is always jumping to conclusions. But you are going to lose games. That's the way it is.

2. If the Yankee hitters keep this up, they could score 1,000 runs this year. Incredible!

3. Nobody on the Yankee staff is worried about Phil Hughes. Do you think the Redsocks will pull John Lester out of their rotation because he had a bad start? Of course not! Nobody on the Yankees is worried about Phil.

4. It's early. Major League teams don't look at winning one game. They look at winning the series.The Yankees have taken their first series. If you had told the Yankees they were going to win the series, they would have been happy.

John's microphone to God's ear.

3 out of 4 of those seem reasonable, logical, and well stated.

Someone please kill me.

Suzie also backed him up on that uber-display of Bill Jamesian baseball acuity.
May it be that jobs at ESPN await them?

I would love to see "Takeaway Points" becomes a regular feature this season.

So after they win the first two games of the series who cares that Hughes is awful and they lose the third? The Great Leader must be rolling over in his grave trying to get out to fire John.
