A Great April

The Yankees young pitchers have disappointed, the Diamondbacks are looking unbeatable, and two guys once lost from the game come back as stars.


Wasn't Phil Hughes good last year? Isn't he the same guy who almost tossed a no-hitter in his second start and then was the Yankees best pitcher in September and October? Is this the same guy? Sure doesn't look that way. As of May 2, Hughes is 0-4 with an ERA of 9.00. He's throwing too many pitches, walking too many guys, and just not hitting his spots. The Yankees are talking about sending him down to AAA. They shouldn't. They should stick with the program. If it's still thi sbad by the All-Star break, then re-evaluate. Sam thing goes for Ian Kennedy. These guys are kids. Let them work it out in the bigs.

I picked Robinson cano as my choice for A.L. MVP. That call ain't looking to good right now.

I was at the Phillies game the other night and Chase Utley hit a 434 foot bullet of a homer off the upper deck facing. That guy is great.

My prediction fro breakout player of the year, Nate McClouth, is playing great.

Pat "The Bat" Burrell has been a fantasy steal.

If you don't like Torii Hunter, watch the newest "Real Sports" with Bryant Gumbel. You will fall in love with Hunter. He is a great human being. He really seems like a hell of a guy.
