They already played?! Good efforts by Arod, and Hughes especially, it can't be easy going back to the place where you lost a no-hitter and temporarilyde-railed his career.

I started looking at some numbers assuming that the return Alex Rodriguez must have had a significant impact on the offense. Not so much. Check it out:
FIRST 28 GAMES
Record: 13-15
Runs: 158 (5.64)
Team batting: .275/.356/.463.
LAST 17 GAMES
Record: 13-4
Runs: 96 (5.64)
Batting: .277/.341/.515.
Who would have guessed that? But what has changed is that the Yankees are a more confident team offensively. That flurry of walk-off wins is evidence. I realize, of course, that there are dozens of variables including the pitchers they faced, the opponents, the ballparks, injuries, etc. But it surprised me that the offense stats were basically the same.
I bet the averages with RISP has changed. I need to crunch those numbers when I get a chance.
What counts is the record and the Yankees have been on a tear since getting their third baseman back. Plus he's turned Mark Teixeira back into Mark Teixeira.
UPDATE, 9:38 p.m.: A ha!
RISP without Alex: 66 of 268 (.246).
RISP with Alex: 46 of 136 (.33.
Alex's RISP: 7 of 19 (.36
While Alex has hit in the clutch, the rest of the team is 39 of 117 (.333). His presence clearly has made a big difference. The lineup is settled, Teixeira is so much better, etc.

Based on what I've read, seems that as of now, Wanger is the long-man (pause) and Aceves will now pitch shorter outings (or perhaps throw 1+ innings ifneeded).
Bruney back on the DL and seeing Dr. James Andrews. Can't stay healthy.

Another day at work...another game missed. Thank god for replays in the morning, I need DVR.
A-Rod...you douche.
0-4 with a walk on a day where I get to watch myfavorite Baseball player ever (Tino Martinez is a close second) and 5-5 today. Oh well...we got the win. Hughes
Sounds like the ace he is expected to be.
On a side-note...Yankee Stadium is a F'in palace.
Being ayesterday's game...I truly had the best time i've had in quite sometime. Camera Batt is still dead, but i'll get some pics up soon. I know some ofyou guys are hitting up the August 6th (?) game against the Sox, but maybe we can all catch one together at some point.
P.S. Garlic Fries should be illegal...

CRACK.

Yankees aiint winning cause of their offense, its cause they are pitching BETTER than they were to start the year.
You know this offensive surge won't continue, a team like the Yankees will be up and down and right now they are UP.......so their pitching will have tocontinue to do what they are doing if they want to stay competitive.

Mez = honorary Debbie Downer of Team Yankees
Hughes was dominating yesterday...really gonna be interesting to see if he actually stays in the rotation.
Getting out of that jam in the bottom of the 2nd by striking out the side =
That start against Baltimore where he was struck out 9 was where I think he turned things around.

At this point Hughes is effective right NOW, Wang is NOT.
Who cares how many games Wang won in 2 seasons (2 years ago)......if Hughes is finding himself out there while being effective, you keep him in the rotation.
While Hughes learning in the minors would be more beneficial, Yankees should ride this wave for as long as possible.

I ate some Garlic Shrimp at a Peruvian restaurant if that accounts for anything.
BTW...if Hughes continues to pitch well I wouldn't be shocked to see Joba finally go back to the pen.
