Phil Hughes

Really wanted him included in the Granderson trade…
Oh well…
(sorry to bring it up, but seriously, in the end, we practically traded Granderson straight-up for Jackson)

This makes me a sad panda

I really like Phil- he’s a post-hype sleeping giant.

Inge leading off?

any time you can get a .300 OBP in the top spot, you’ve got to do it.

Thunderstorms, eh?

Well, I guess that’s a better excuse than, “Game called because a bird pooped on the lights.”

Especially for a day game.
