HUGHES CORPORATION

Following the Freddy's Dead Debacle, Phil Hughes had his chance to etch his place in the 2012 Yankee rotation in Pinstriped Stone tonight in Texas when Bad News came from Doctors about newly acquired and instantly lost-for-season Michael Pineda (aka The Dominican Idle). Time for Hughes to shine and shine he did for all of one inning. Give credit where credit is due. This Texas lineup's tough as they come and Hughes sat the first third of it down 1-2-3 in convincing fashion. Too bad he didn't convince the 4 through 9 batters in the next two innings and was pulled after 2 and 2/3rds.

Now the ball's back in Freddy's court. Win or Lose, then Hughes. Where's Andy?
