Hughes struggles, Yankees lose to Tigers in game 1

For the record…”Yankees lose first game to Tigers, fall back to .500

Phil Hughes took his 0-3 record to start this season, and made it worse today, by losing, at Yankee Stadium, to the Detroit Tigers, in game 1 of this 3 game series.  This was by far Hughes’ worst outing to date, and it is cause for some chirping from the front office.  As to the future of Phil Hughes:

mlb.com :  “I think it’s fair to discuss it,” general manager Brian Cashman said of the prospect of temporarily removing Hughes from the Yankees rotation. “So we’ll discuss it.”

I have been a solid Yankees fan my whole life, and usually when the GM Brian Cashman says something to the effect of “…we’ll discuss it…” is not going to end well for whoever is the topic of the discussion.  We can only hope the patience that the coaching staff is showing Hughes will rub off on the front office.

The official numbers from today:  Phil Hughes, 3.2 innings, 8 hits, 6 runs (all earned), 3 walks, and giving up 2 home runs.  Ugly.

The Yankees would like to have that one back, but tomorrow is a new day.  Their record is 14-14.
