Yankees win & Red Sox lose yet again. Lead up to 1.5 games. Hughes vs. Pavano tomorrow

Go Yanks! The Bronx Bombers continue their winning ways sporting the best away record in the AL. Only the Phillies and the Dodgers have better away records. Check out the standings. Tomorrow's pitching matchup is very interesting. Phil Hughes, who's been pitching really well lately, will go against Carl Pavano. Let me park on these 2 players for a second.

Phil Hughes - He's got a tremendous chip on his shoulder right now. Chien Ming Wang is knocking on the door for his old spot in the rotation before he went on the DL.  Can he continue to perform? It's questionable whether Joba will make his next start because of his knee. Do you think if Joba ends up on the DL, that both Hughes & Wang will be in the rotation?

Carl Pavano - After a disappointing tenure with the Yankees plagued with injuries, he goes to hill tomorrow afternoon. This is the 2nd time we're facing him this year. The 1st time around, the Yankees won. Not sure whether it was loss for him or a no decision though. The consensus is that he's been playing pretty good for the Indians. This is very disappointing to me considering all the money we spent on him the past 3-4 years. Why now of all times? We really could have used his arm more during those years. It could have made a difference in us making it farther into the playoffs. Sorry Carl. I hope the Yankee offense pounds you to pulp tomorrow afternoon.
