Yeah yeah. Lol I remember Jester and I laying out the stats for his ERA and HRs allowed in Yankee stadium and away. That was before we signed him, though. Already has one to De Aza. Ball just jumps off his bat doesn't it? Yeesh!

There was a lot of sarcasm in my comment, mainly due to my frustration of losing the first two games and being down in the third. But I actually am optimistic about Hughes for the reason you and jester cited. He's got a nice looking curve ball too. I think he'll be fine.
Good thing we have our ace going tomorrow in Cleveland :) .
