Thames Time!

Wow! What could have been the absolute worst loss of the year so far, turned into a win, as the Yanks down 9-7 going into the bottom of the 9th got a pair of two run bombs of Papelbomb from ARod and Marcus Thames to win in 11-9! Thames had also struck an RBI triple earlier in the game. Thames homer also came right after Papelbum hit Cervelli to put him on. Firt pitch and BOOM! What a great win.

Now here's why it almost sucked. Phil Hughes didn't seem to realize that the Red Sox were just trying to foul of fastballs and hit cutters tonight. Thus he didn't mix in his curve and change enough and gave up 5 runs through 5. Ugh. He was still in line for the win until Chan Ho Park gave jacks. Still, Phil didn't have his trademark fastball command tonight and of the 6 hits he gave up, for, including 2 homers, came off the cutter. He's got to recognize that a little faster. But, at least the team came through with a win, and so Phil's lesson was not too expensive. CC throws tomorrow. Go Yanks!
